SATURDAY JANUARY 23, 2010 Location: BANGKOK, THAILAND
Matt Embree from Oshawa did what very few Canadian fighters have yet to do... fought at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. Opponents name unknown but a great competitor from France.
Matt describes his fight: I started out slow, feeling out my opponent, he came out hard lots of punchs and kicks, so i jus kept my hands up. Round 3 i started to press, with elbows and knees, caught him with a knee to the face and hurt him, and then elbowed him a few more times, but he was a tough guy. He ran outa gas by end of round 3. Round 4 more pressing, clinching, landed sum solid elbows and good knees. Round 5 I just keep him away with jabs and push kicks, until the bell rang. I won by decision.
Simon was in my corner, also Sean 1 of the trainers form the gym and Buakaw was also in my corner :)
