Yodsaenklai vs Naruepol ( Contender Asia Ep 9 )

The Fairtex Brothers, Yodsaenklai & Naruepol matched up for a fight to determine who goes through into the Final 4 in Contender Asia

[@me2n]

naruepol could have won this fight..tats no doubt..he seemed like just letting his fellow fren yod win...too bad... :(

[@Lemurai]

kasakee Holland ain't shit? Is that the reason why there are more farangs in Thailand making gamblers lose money nowadays? Everybody want to fight like the Thai I say fuck it the Dutch and Japanese took the style and made it thier own I'm not going to use the EXACT same techniques on a man thats been trained to use and defend against his entire life. Thats why I prefer Dutch and Japanese kickboxing, better boxing and more aggressive style. I'm not stupid enough to fight like a Thai.

[@sagmann20]

you want to see mindless agression from bell to bell. thats not always what makes a good fight. this isnt the best example, but good muay thai is much more intelligent then what your are describing...the first round is always slow, as fighters establish their rythm and find their way through their opponents defenses

[@Lemurai]

damn Naru WTF!!? I seen you live in Thailand and I know you can fight WAY better than that!! GEEZ!! But it's alright glad you didn't get killed out there I wish Thailand cared more about thier fighters, thats why I like training in Holland better. Lucien Carbin is the shit!!

[@BruceWayne-lj4cd]

Disappointing fight from Naruepol point of view.He simply gave up.He shld know that this was goin to come possibly when he join the competition.If he dont have the guts to fight,he shld have join it.But either way,fight or not,Yoddy would have easily beaten him.

[@xath612]

I hate Souwer but he won that fight at SLAMM IV. Too bad it was K-1 rules. Thai Nuk muays dominated that event though. If you wanna talk about setups watch the Anuwat vs Bassou fight.

[@joninberlin]

c'mon everyone! Its clear they were only going 60-70% and the punch combo in the end wasn't even that hard - it was clear that Nareupol gave the fight to Yod. They fight for the same gym and train together, there is no way they wouuld go at each other for real for some TV show...

[@bobby9791]

Shame these too had to fight so soon. They are both great fighters. Yod's kicks are spot on. Love the fact that yod uses his hands alot to, some thais don't use punches as much.

[@TeleeFONE]

i think u can learn muay thai but u can never be as good as the thais its in their blood the way they fight n everything is different

[@sanshoukid]

THis fight is bullshit man they shouldnt have fought man poor naurepol man he didnt want to fight his friend i can understand.

[@Lemurai]

aniretab your mom lives in Thailand right? LOL~~

[@taufiqtwile1268]

Klo naruepol lwn btul2 mse nim....balik awl sonklai

[@rosabieng]

Set up! They wanted Thais to be left only one in the Semi. Now the heat is on Yodsaenklai alone. Go for it, Yod.

[@Mikenike88]

i agree they wanted 1 thai to face a western fighter in the end because it is an american show. them two would have made it to the end though

[@Basketbaka1031]

@JdoubleRO Not all Thai's enjoy fighting anyway, it can often be the only thing they can do to get money. And Naruepol is more intent on winning, not fighting. Like the time he fought the first guy in Epi 1, he didnt want to hurt him much but he just kept coming and he said to his father that it was tough to beat him up so much like that. If he feels that for a total stranger that they just met, how is he going to feel about beating his friend up? Thais have different attitude to fighting..

[@najmeddinSCORPION]

they're both the best. its sad they didnt meet in the finals. naruepel would give yod the best fight ever.but obviously they didnt wana hurt each other,,,AND NOT BECOZ THEYRE FRIENDS ONLY,but becoz they wanted one of them to reach finals without injuries!!they didnt wana injure each other

[@JediJudas]

Threw the fight?? i think he just got knocked the fuck out!!!

[@curated_euphoria_experience]

He threw the fight. Just saw it on jwp's ig 12 years later. The boss of fairtex asked him to throw the fight

[@ironryon]

its bad enough that Nareupol didnt even try when Yod did actually load up on him....but to pretend to get KO'd is embarressing!! I can spar hard with friends and make it look better than they did.

[@MrMuaythai84]

they should never let them pick from that stupid box. should kept it as blue vs red team than for sure naruepol would face yod in the final and u get a better fight from naruepol. sutpid contender think it would be better if they let them pick from the box

[@ImpaktRein]

listen they both took part an new if they had to fight they would fix it as for the purse well they both took some and it was a stepping stone for yod to get in to k1

[@jonathansloan4600]

Yodsaenklai beast

[@ForgottenMyPassword]

Naruepol is in the same training camp as yod but yod is better and they both know it. Therefore naruepol dint wanna hurt yod too much as he knew that yod would eventually win and continue in the tournament. In a way he let him win to conserve yod's shape for upcoming fights.

[@KianShabani]

Man this fight sucked, but dont misunderstand me.. I just didn't like to see them fight that early. The finale had been okay. Naruepol showed some big heart letting Yod win, just because their from the same gym and i guess Yod been at Fairtex for longer time than Naruepol (Just a guess)

[@ShinGouki86]

these two guys are like brothers. they're from the same muay thai training camp in thailand and train together all the time. this was not your average muay thai fight...i liken it to something like an all-star game. both guys wanted to win but neither really wanted to hurt the other guy badly. it's quite probable that naruepol dialed it down a bit and "let" yod win if he needed the money more or something

[@Iamverycoolism]

Fake fight. Those light kicks and catches This was staged they didn't want to hurt eachother and Yod was the rising star so they set it up for him. 1:46 Yod missed the kick Narupol didn't touch him all that blinking and crap was an act.

[@AcsnuPakpak]

naruepol's kick were like touches .. the only time he really threw a kick was at 0:23 and that was the ONLY time that yodsanklai was pushed back so far in the whole of Contender Asia competition ... wish naruepol had tried harder

[@Carmine124]

Ha ha ha ha ha. Don't get to emotional my friends... For all of you experienced fight fans out there: say it with me now... FFFFIIIIIIXXXXXEEEEEEEEDDDDDD!!!!!!!!

[@rosabieng]

Set up! They wanted Thais to be left only one in the Semi. Now the heat is on Yodsaenklai alone. Go for it, Yod.

[@numthai68]

Why due they have to fight? who pick who and is there video of that part. This two should be in the final 4.

[@OLDMANBADGER]

ok you try and take a left to the body or one of his elbows! Ps - original poster, Naruepol and Yod are not brothers!

[@AlphaBravoDingo]

Naruepol could've done way better than that, it just seems he didn't want to.

[@UnderCrimsonSkies]

indeed i think naurepol is a better fighter though he aint got the coldblood

[@edgeotron]

Yod is good muay-thai fighter.Very humble and has good skills.Way to go Yoddy!

[@mataikan]

Man he threw the fight!

[@danielazim3]

@jasel29 But Muay Thai is not. even tho your comments is like 3 years ago o_O

[@punkzorr]

if naruepol had the heart to fight i'm guessing he would've win

[@Gracchi]

he didnt want hurt his mate, yod needed money more.

[@matthias79]

Naruepol doesn't want to fight at all!

[@Askthetrainer]

Yodsanklai is a sav

[@Daeron15]

why did u excluded Dzhabar...

[@jaiga]

Narupol we will remember yours

[@smashlan]

Narupol held back so much.

[@xJaiseNx]

[@vidaroui]
