Keep up good work Danny! He really is a real fighter!

Six years ago in 2002, Ring Magazine ranked Armstrong as the 2nd greatest fighter of the last 80 years. The first was Sugar Ray Robinson and the third was the great Muhammad Ali.

Armstrong developed his boxing skills since he was little and started as a pro when he was 19. He didn’t start out just like many great boxers. Years by years he got improved. A former world champion like Juan Zurita and former champ Mike Belloside also lost to Armstrong not many years after he started the career.

In 1937 he did almost 30 KO winnings and became world Featherweight Champion by defeating Petey Sarron and made about 30 more KOs in 1938. He, 126, won over Barney Ross, 147 by unanimous decision, adding the world Welterweight Championship to his Featherweight belt. After that he decided he couldn’t make the Featherweight division anymore and left the crown vacant and started the welterweight a couple years later.
In 1945 he decided to end the boxing career. His registered record was 150 wins, 21 losses and 9 draws with 100 KO wins. However, his exact record isn’t really known because it is believed he fought some pay fights under the nickname of Melody Jackson.

He got to become a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

28-year-old Margarito is originally from Tijuana, Mexico. This famous fighter is now the former IBF and WBO Welterweight champion. And as you know, he is ready to give himself another title this Saturday.

One of his best wins is when he knocked out Puerto Rican Kermit Cintron, one of the unbeatable world class boxers 3 years ago and retained his WBO world Welterweight title.

His boxing record of 42 total fights is 36 wins with 26 KOs, 5 losses and 1 no contest.

Following his successful rematch with Cintron (he KO Cintron in the sixth round on April 12), the IBF ordered him to fight a mandatory defense against the organization’s number-one contender, Joshua Clottey, who Margarito had previously defeated a couple years ago. Rather than agreeing to a rematch with Clottey, Margarito vacated the IBF title and agreed to fight with WBA titlist Miguel Cotto from Puerto Rico in the next three days.

It is the true story of the Magic Man or Paul “Paulie” Malignaggi, a professional boxer from Brooklyn, New York. Young Paulie from a broken home wants to prove his life worth something. He defeats all odds to arrive at the Mecca of boxing. He has proved that everyone else is wrong and has won the WBO Junior Welterweight Title.

Picture from Saddoboxing.com

In the film, Malignaggi is like a gym rat. He works hard and come from the bottom up and never back down. You can also see that he cannot be rattled by his opponents.

I believe this movie is such an inspiration. It’s full of disappointment, failure, and triumph. The film does cheer people up to fight more for their better lives and worth living. He is also a gifted fighter who many boxers look at as their role model.

I really recommend you to see this film when you get a chance. I am sure that you will agree that this is one best boxing film ever made.

So our MuayThaiSport.com/blog will today introduce you to a great video called “the world of Muay Thai”. Let’s take a look.

The World of Muay Thai clip from YouTube.com

Amazing kicks, weren’t they? Those techniques are really really tough. And don’t try it at home, or with the one you love. I gotta warn you.

However, the person who can box good, don’t need to know just the techniques but also how to use them properly and wisely. Many great MuayThai fighters are really smart (when fighting at least). I wanna give you an example. Namkabuan “The Ring Genius” Nongeepayahut is an idol. Lots of new thaiboxing students want to fight as smart as he does. He didn’t get that nickname without a proper reason you know. Let’s take a look at how he fights. And by the way thanks to whoever made this vid, good music.

He is an awesome fighter. It would be cool to meet him in personal with respect. At 6:32 was pretty tough, wasn’t it haha. Anyway, in many people opinions, Namkabuan is one hell of a smart boxer, smarter than some of the other traditional Thai legends you might have known.

Alright… I hope you enjoyed the two videos. You can visit us next time for more cool clips. In case you want to tell us which one you like, please do, so I can post it here to share with others. Thank you for sticking with us today.
