Muay Thai - Knees of Fury

[White Line Fever]

I'm not sure how much interest will be generated about this...
But there is a fantastic show put on every 3 months in Adelaide "Knees of Fury", ran by a guy called Ethan Shepp.
The big shows are at ETSA park, and the others at the Shores function centre West Beach.
This Fridays is No. 29 at the Shores, which shows the popularity, and they are most often sell outs.

A few popular fighters include Heavyweight & K1 fighter Paul "The Sting" Slowinski with devastating leg kicks, Charles "Heat" August with his overhand right giving him the highest KO ratio in OZ, rising star Kym "The technician" Johnson possessing textbook technique & one of my favourites Gary "Beast" Williams with superior fitness.

Some of our Adelaide guys are up there with the best in Australia, even the world, and i'd love to hear people's thoughts.

Some of the popular gyms in Adelaide include Southside MuayThai in Somerton Park, Flinders Uni Muay Thai, Fight Club on Henley Beach Road, AXIS at Seacliff, The Firm at Willunga and JO-IPs at Norwood.

Lastly, good luck to Tom Boyle from Southside on Friday night taking on a QLD State Title holder!!

Pretty good night last night.

A sell-out, absolutely packed to capacity.

Congratulations Tom Boyle, winning his fight against Boonchu Gym Jesse Lyons in unaminous points decision in 5 rounds.
Takes him to 5 wins 1 loss.

After last nights interest, i wouldn't be surprised if all future shows are at ETSA park.
These shows also get showed on FOX sports Thursday nights.
I hope Adelaide gets behind the sport of Muay Thai, it is fantastic once you get into it, and has recently gained Olympic accreditation.

[the big bang]

I forgot about this thread. I've never got to a KOF, but do plan on getting there one night!

I'm mates with Myles Simpson. How'd he go last night?

[White Line Fever]

Myles was his usual self, bloody agressive just walk up style.

The guy he fought was tough though and they had an amazing battles, full thai rules including elbows, some fierce grappling...
Myles winner by unaminous points decision!!!
Myles had the biggest crowd support of night from The Firm at Willunga!!

TBB i recommend you go have a look at the KOF night.

Fully licensed, great food, great music & entertainment and of course some amazing KOs.
It's got a great atmosphere, and has a really good vibe about the place.

Unfortunately Gary Williams got KO'd last night from a spinning elbow!!!

I think Myles is now 15 fights, 12 wins???

Will be the biggest fight event in SA history and just about sold out.

Probably the best KOF yet.

Main event was a 29sec KO followed by Slowinski proposing to his missus in the ring.

The crowd went crazy!
