MMA gloves are used in mixed martial arts bouts. They are open-fingered grappling gloves that will allow the user to grab the opponent while fighting. MMA gloves are not considered boxing gloves and you can use them in any boxing matches.

Similar to the wrist-supporting, closed-thumb, broken-knuckle kempo gloves popularized by Bruce Lee’s in his movie “Enter the Dragon”, they provide some padding to the person wearing the gloves, but leave the fingers available for intricate wrestling and grappling maneuvers such as clinch fighting, which are illegal in modern boxing.(information from Wikipedia.com)

Worlds Greatest Fighting Compilation VDO from YouTube.com

So what do you think? Too CRAZY!!! I think that was like the greatest fighting vid in the world. Perfect music and fights even though these are the fights without brains and hearts! The best of the no-mercy brutality of MMA captured, just like animal fight, actually this shouldn’t be call a martial arts at all, nothing art there man! However the great combination in a vid even make it more exciting and make me enjoy more. This might make you think that UFC is better than other forms of fighting. Well but not me, I’m still the biggest Muay Thai fan. Anyway back to this clip, one question for all my blog viewers, which punch is the best here? At 2:19 or 2:45 or what else?

For me this is one of the best fighting video EVER! Tell us what you think about it. Good? Or too sick to watch? Hey not every one like to see two dudes beating themselves up and kicking each other in the face (I wonder, did that guy lives?). Just think it’s another type of show.

Come back to our MuayThaiSport.com/blog everyday for all the new things we’d like to share with you.

I found this while I was trying to locate some gyms in Germany. Well lucky me I found this instead. Anyway if you go to its website at www.frauenamateurboxen.de (women amateur boxing), you can find information about amateur boxing and you can get to know more about the club.

So are you ready to take a tour? Here is what I found:

If you want to join the club? First, you gotta be a woman of course. All age accepted! As far as I know, the current students’ ages range from 10 to 53. Great thing about boxing, you can’t never be to young or to old to start learning. (I mean if you consider it is another way to exercise, I said nothing about fighting in a ring here ok?). So basically, all you need is just a nerve to start boxing, no experience or loads of experiences all welcomed.

Membership costs only 21€ per month for adults, and 5€ for girls under 18. Not such a bad deal actually, it’s less than the amount you pay to any other gyms. But the only disadvantage here is that training hours are only on Mondays from 7 pm and Thursdays from 7.30 pm. So if you have quite tight schedule, you may not be able to go to the training.

But you can give it a try though, go test their training class for free! Just bring your cloths and water and they got the rest of the training equipment right there for you.

For more info, email to info@frauenamateurboxen.de or log on to the website herein above and go to contact form. Enjoy!

Female Boxing VDO from YouTube.com

That was the fight of Regina Halmich (Germany) VS Csicsely Szilvia (Hungary)! Good fight I think. But not Muay Thai boxer style for sure. Regina pushes too much! It’s really unusual for female fighters to use as many body punches as she chose to do.

She has helped popularized female boxing in Europe, just like Deirdre Gogarty from Ireland and Michelle Sutcliffe from England and others. However Regina is really a goddess in boxing career. Regina was German champion in 1992-1994 and earned the European title in 1994. This hot robotic female fighter announced her retirement last year in her farewell fight on November 30, 2007 with WIBF Women’s International Boxing Federation flyweight title. She did end her boxing career like pro by defeating Hagar Shmoulefeld Finer from Israel by decision.

Regina’s record: won 54 (KO 16) + lost 1 (KO 1) + drawn 1 = 56

Although women fought professionally in lots of countries and lots of them are GREAT, women’s boxing will not be at the Olympics on 08/08/08 in China this year. And it’s very unlikely to become an official Olympic sport at the next Olympic Games in 2012.

Female boxing are not bad as some people think. But it might just have different styles. And of course they use different regulation. It’s not that different. Just like when you see female tennis. I really hope boxing association will one day give the girls a chance to do their things to prove to the whole world that they deserve to professionally and openly box and female boxing can create great attention from people around the world just like male boxing.

So his record right now is…won 35 (KO 14) + lost 3 + drawn 2 = 40

Mijares’ picture from Boxrec.com

What he said after the match was he thought it was a great match, he couldn’t explain how he felt, Alexander Muñoz (won 32 (KO 27, quite number) + lost 3 = 35) was the admirable opponent, and he was proud of what he did and would have to try harder. And he claimed that he almost lost twice in that match. However he finally won.

His earlier fight this year was in Las Vegas. He won over Jose Navarro via split decision also.

For Alexander Muñoz, he wasn’t easy to beat. He received WBA super flyweight title by beating a Japanese boxer, Nobuo Nashiro in Japan in May last year. He also won two other fights after that in Japan until he met Mijares.

Comparing to those two he won over, Mijares has more experiences in the ring. But he’s still young in the game. I believe he can improve more. His future’s still awaiting. We’ll have to wait and see how far this fighter can go.

The story shows how hard a man will fight to give his family and himself a second chance. Suddenly thrust into American spotlight, the legendary athlete, Jim Braddock defies the odds against him and shock the world with his greatest come back in history. Supported by his family’s love, make the impossible possible.

Here’s the plot synopsis from www.cinderellamanmovie.com:

Russell Crowe stars in the story inspired by the life of legendary athlete Jim Braddock, a once- promising light heavyweight boxer forced into retirement after a string of losses in the ring. As the nation enters the darkest years of the Great Depression, Braddock accepts a string of dead-end jobs to support his wife, Mae (Renée Zellweger), and their children, while never totally abandoning his dream of boxing again. Thanks to a last minute cancellation, Braddock finds himself back in the ring against the second-ranked world contender–and to everyone’s amazement, Braddock wins in the third round. Despite being pounds lighter than his opponents and repeated injuries to his hands, Braddock continues to fight against challengers and win. Carrying on his shoulders the hopes and dreams of the disenfranchised masses, Braddock, dubbed the “Cinderella Man,” faces his toughest challenger in Max Baer (Craig Bierko), the heavyweight champion of the world, renowned for having killed two men in the ring. Braddock–not so much a great boxer as a great man who boxed–climbed into the ring seeking nothing more than to provide for his wife and children. His commitment to them inspired him to championship, elevating the family man with a simple cause to the level of legend.

Check out its site and DVD nearby your house! A great movie to have in your collection or give to your friends!

The film is the collection of Library of Congress Digitized Historical Collections: LC Early Motion Pictures. To me, it’s more like a documentary of a real boxing match, not a movie. The making was a real prize fight shot on June 14 1984 at the Edison Black Maria studio in West Orange, New Jersey. Six rounds of a cut 10-round fight.

Picture from American Memory: Early Motion Picture (1897-1920) http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/h?ammem/papr:@field(NUMBER+@band(edmp+4026))

Here’s the synopsis:
An actual six-round competition between Mike Leonard, commonly called the “Beau Brummel” of pugilism, and Jack Cushing. Full of toughly hard fighting, clever hits, aggressive punches, leads, dodges, body blows and some slugging. Sold by rounds. Each round contains 150 feet. Price each round, 22.50.

The film was directed by Enoch Rector. It got Michael Leonard and Jack Cushing star themselves.

I believe this was one of the first inspirations for some groups of people to see and learn more about boxing. It would be such a great opportunity if you have a chance to see this boxing documentary film.

Here the trailer:

Never Back Down Trailer from YouTube.com

Synopsis:

Set against the action-packed world of Mixed Martial Arts, NEVER BACK DOWN is the story of Jake Tyler, a tough kid who leads with his fists, and, often, with his heart. Jake Tyler, played by Sean Faris (Yours, Mine and Ours), is the new kid in town with a troubled past. He has recently moved to Orlando, Florida with his family who has relocated to support his younger brother’s shot at a professional tennis career. Jake was a star athlete on the football team at home, but in this new city he is an outsider with a reputation for being a quick tempered brawler.

Making an attempt to fit in, and at the invitation of a flirtatious classmate, Baja, played by Amber Heard (Hidden Palms, Alpha Dog), Jake goes to a party where he is unwittingly pulled into a fight with a bully named Ryan McCarthy, played by Cam Gigandet (The O.C., Who’s Your Caddy?). While he is defeated and humiliated in the fight, a classmate introduces himself to Jake and tells him about the sport known as Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). He sees a star in Jake and asks that he meet with his mentor, Jean Roqua, played by Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond, In America).

It is immediately apparent to Jake that MMA is not street fighting, but rather an art form he wants to master. Roqua will take Jake under his wing, but it is up to Jake to find the patience, discipline, willingness and reason within him to succeed. For Jake, there is much more at stake than mere victory. His decision will not just settle a score; it will define who he is.
