Beste Rémy
Ik ga het toch weer over Jamal hebben. Waarom wordt hij geschorst voor 6 maanden en ophef omdat die schijnbeweging deed bij Ricardo.
En Cem deed dat ook tijdens een staredown tegen latesco
Maar daar werd er niet over gesproken. Zo zie je maar
Rémy je bent een soldaat so naar jou maar Badr is beste haha
Peace out
Because Jamal did it during a tournament while Rico had yet to fight. That's a lot different than during a staredown.
Caceres made a slapping motion to Latescu, should they now suspend him for 5 months as well?
(The only difference is that Latescu laughed it off and Rico needed 20 men security to calm him down.)
Hey Remy and Marinho
Glory 94 is up or down for several fighters.
Mo amine, if he loses he may leave Glory. Maybe you guys can arrange some fights at DFS for him.
Overmeer, nice fighter but has lost 3L in a row and all from the top if he loses then he can put the title fight out of his mind. And doesn't belong to the top 3 yet.
Serkan; master slipping lager can only give his pills to the middle-milers and not the top-milers. If he loses then he can also put a title fight out of his mind. And he needs to work on his fight iq.
Title can put all 3 of them out of their minds but Overmeer has had 3 very close matches so even though he is no longer in top 3 you can't write that guy off. Serkan is in a division that (fortunately for him) doesn't have many fighters in it. For that reason you certainly don't want to lose Serkan on short notice and maybe the title is too far out of reach but at least with him you always have an entertaining match......Mo Amine should not take matches at Glory but fight outside or rest longer. Glory should have matched him with someone who also has a losing streak. Kromah is going to eat him
Brother Remy and Private Marinho, I broke down again. What is the status of the tournaments now and do the tournaments jn other divisions except welterweight (in the short term)still make sense? The top Hw and Lw all fight each other after the tournament so to see the same names tr facing each other again at a tournament is getting a bit repetitive.
If you look at the history of kickboxing, rematches are inseparable from the sport. Think of how many times Peter Aerts and Ernesto Hoost have fought each other, Andy Souwer and Buakaw or Mark Hunt and Jerome LeBanner. In addition, Grand Prix's give a whole different dynamic to the fight. You can suddenly win with 2 KDs in the quarter and semifinals, but also lose. How do you get through to the next round, how does your opponent get to the next round. Who is your opponent going to be in the first place! That's what makes a tournament exciting and super entertaining!
Glory is fishing in too small a pond to bring in new fighters, but apparently if you can kickbox a little, have a catchy nickname, train with one of the purveyors and have a Dutch passport, then Uncle Robbie might just want to see you fight.
In K-1 you had fighters from: Netherlands, Germany, France, South Africa, Yugoslavia, America, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Japan, Switzerland just to name a few countries and in Glory you have mostly Dutch people who are competing for another country.
In that respect, Glory is more like Super Kombat where mainly fighters from Romania or surroundings called the shots and fought so-called big names flown in from abroad. Once there was an American who was 5 times world kickboxing champion of some illustrious association and could not block a low kick, let alone make one. The only difference Glory did not have with Super Kombat were sometimes rather dubious decisions where the home fighter won on "unanimous decision" despite several knock downs against.
When even Fred Royers makes it to "De wereld draait door" with his comments about two K(walitatief ) U(itermate ) T(elewelstellende ) fighters having to have an extra round, while the whole match should really have 2 losers then you know how cooked such an organization is, hilarious it was on the other hand sometimes!
That is indeed true but there was some time in between and was more often in tournaments. The pond that glory is fishing from is very small. You get the feeling that in some divisions there are only 8-10 fighters
Good afternoon gentlemen,
First of all, thank you for a great broadcast. I don't understand your cry for Ben Saddik so much. Are you guys aware of the fact that Jamal wears an ankle bracelet? Seems not, otherwise I would find it very strange that you guys want to see him in the ring. Don't get me wrong, I think Jamal is a top fighter and would like to see him in the ring as well; but without all the bullshit. He wanted to get rid of the ankle bracelet for a while, but the public prosecutor appealed. I would like to refer you to this article from August 27.
Prosecutor appeals release of Jamal Ben Saddik, kickboxer keeps ankle bracelet
Kickboxer Jamal Ben Saddik (33) remains under electronic surveillance for at least two more weeks. The council chamber wanted to release him on conditions, but the public prosecutor's office appealed.
Not only Remy and Marinho are screaming for Jamal, I think almost every kickboxing fan is screaming for him. Of the still current fighting heavyweights, Jamal is the only one who is a serious threat to Rico, so far none of the current fighters have been able to give Rico a hard time with the low point being Tarik or rather "the cookie ran out for a while" Osaro who moved even less in the ring than a wax statue at Madame Tussaud's!
Besides, there is no other ( available ) fighter who can generate hype for a title match than Jamal. And that's not only good for the ratings, but also for Rudmann/Andurand's wallet, and they can use a few bucks at Glory!
Completely agree, but of course you are not going to call for a fighter with an ankle bracelet. Then in one fell swoop you would confirm all the prejudices of non kickboxing fans.
That news about not removing Jamal's ankle bracelet came after the broadcast ;) And was not yet known at that time, besides, Jamal's lawyer has already indicated that Jamal is not in the file at all, but that is another discussion.
The fact remains that Glory needs to clarify why the fans' calls have been ignored. First they ask Jamal last minute for the tournament, and then come up with the excuse that Jamal didn't want to do it, while Glory didn't want to move the money. And now Jamal is once again kept out of it. How hard can it be to give Jamal and the fans clarity on when we can see him again. After all, Glory promised to be more transparent....
