Abena, Touchasi and Imad Hadar all fight at Wfl by Melvin mangoef Oct. 5. Melvin is smart though draws all those high-profile and public fans to himself so this organization of Melvin labgzaam can become big.
He does start out smart, first coincidentally luring all the fighters from his own gym ( SB GYM) to WFL and then probably building on that.
Abena thought everyone would miss him and beg for his comeback, but as you can see in kickboxing things move very fast and he has already been replaced. Done nothing for 1 year only to go kickboxing against full time locksmith. Touchassie is a shame though, would have loved to see him fight at Glory. Imad Hadar, where to start? I can't even remember the last time he fought.

Thian de Vries aka Tarzan aka Goat of the Pancakes. About time he really fights a name man! Only then we will see who he really is. By fighting pancakes every x you are not going to get better or know at all who you are yourself in this sport.

I like to see m against, say, a Mo Touchassie.
very thick lot that would be

Yes agree

Ej Nabil is hypocritical too, warriorcode blocks banning etc but sitting in the car with Andy and being fired on full on by Andy of you are fat etc and then joining in laughing? He even called his brother chubby hahahahaahahahahahahah I'm totally laughing at Andy. But super hypocritical of Nabil.

Yes true. But Nabil came across as good / sympathetic. Is also good bit of self-mockery. Was a nice episode by the way.
he didn't have one when starsvandetoekomst asked him that hahaah

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Men's
What do you guys think of Donegi Abena's matchmaking at WFL?
(He is fighting veteran Tarik Cherkaoui, by the way).
He had switched to boxing, hadn't he?
The matches Melvin matched for his SB sparring partners all seem to be warm-ups. Both Touchassie, Hadar and also Abena now.
For WFL, it's good news, though. And hopefully a solution for all the fighters who have been sidelined too long at Glory.
Unfortunately, I learned that it cannot be streamed anywhere.
Manhoef grants his gym buddies a few easy wins and some money. Other than that, it's not really to be taken seriously as a real kickboxing event in my opinion. Too much favoritism.
Abena himself I do think is a weakness bone. You leave Glory with a lot of bombarue for not getting paid enough. Then he stays unemployed for a year and now comes back for an Enfusion like match in a gym. I think he's figured out by now that he didn't have it so bad....
first thought I read at martial artsinfo that you could watch it on videoland but now see something else (UPDATE: The organization reports that the WFL matches will not be seen on Videoland. The boxing matches will be.) unfortunately though think if this is not a one time glory fighters fighting there and there are several well known ones coming and melvin pushes through that it will be on videoland soon.

It is not a sports hall. The Hague top sports center does hold 5 to 6,000 spectators. A bit comparable to RTM Stage (old zuiderpark stadium used to be located there). It just lacks a bit of atmosphere. It is much bigger than that studio event in Hilversum last December.
They could have done those 3 parties (hadar, abena, Touchassie) between boxing influencers as far as I'm concerned.
Brother Remy and Private Marinho, you were talking about a legend broadcast with old battles. That could be a really fun broadcast but speaking of legends please invite Andre Mannaart sometime! It would be fun to hear certain K1 stories or locker room stories from Andre's perspective. Remy and Andre have so much history with each other it would be a shame not to capture that nicely once.
