Fight no.2 Muay Thai – Megtron Zabell against Barbarian Muay Thai
Megatron did very well against her opponent going into the rounds composed, comfortable and in control. Landing some great hand and leg combos and proactive with her clinch, attacking and countering. This was a very even matched skill set though with her weekly private lessons under the guidance and coaching of Khru Dee, Megatron was able to put action to command as per training without hesitation. As the fight drew to a close it look as if Megan was reading the fight from the get go and timing well placed attacks and counters.
Result – Win
Fight no.15 Muay Thai – Anthony Scwarzaneggar aginst Greensborough MMA
Anthony who came in and trained sick for 2-3 weeks straight with a virus went out to prove his worth competing at 5o% health. A little overwhelmed with what looked like heavy combinations trying to find their mark in round one, Anthony came out unscathed to return scoring some great leg and body kicks and utilizing his clinch game for the dominance of the fight as he out classed his opponent’s clinch game and clean striking. Looking gassed Anthony held on against his more experienced opponent who became frustrated and threw a few wild shots hoping to land a hit. Anthony Schwarzaneggar’s timing and counter covers worked in well to catch up on points.
Results – Draw
Fight no.16 Muay Thai – Carl Snarl against home team Hammer’s Gym
Fighting against the host gym and it’s supporters Carl went in with the sole intention of trying out his new fight game as per Coach Khru Dee’s advice and it went on to serve Snarl well. Straight into the first round the opponent fought hard and fast landing a few sharp shots but with Carl’s new fight game in mind this was day was only about discipline to hold the line and wait for Khru Dee’s Command to Action drill. Snarl successfully delivered the drill as planned and practice for his up and coming debut to the pro fight scene of Full Thai Rules.
Result – Win
Fight no.19 Muay Thai – Leonitis Bailey against Top Tier Geelong
With only 4 months officially since Leonitis stepped in to Dynamite Muay Thai and trying out his first ever Class being boxing. Leonitis has made a very fine transition to the art of the eight limbs. His embracement to the style Muay Chaya and Muay Korat will see him go from strength to strength. Leonitis was considered the most flamboyant competitor of the day with his height making his signature flying knees going almost from ring corner to the other ring corner. Definitely is one to watch throughout his progress. Starting slow during the fight Leonitis got the feel of his opponent early on, remaining clean and precise with his combinations he managed to out perform his opponent and woo the crowd to come off with an exciting win.
Result – Win
