The Contender...n me!

had a really tiring week of work..but thank gosh for sat night.. honestly, thanks to my friend who managed to get me tickets to The Contender Asia..

went with bro.. we arrived pretty early....took some crappy photos.. the whole event started with 2 "mini" matches which featured non-Contender contestants. both matches were won by the Spore side! the female who rep spore was really good la. only 17years old can!


when the Contender contestants appeared... the crowd went crazy! i went too.. almost lost it all halfway tru the event.. cheered n screamed my ass off for the ones i supported.
at least my voice i mean. the guys were hot! well..the bodies of course.. n they were good lo. anyway..the winner gets US$150,000!


When it was Zach's (the spore rep) match, the crowd was cheering like crazy for him.. he did great! powerful kicks n a cool attitude.. (for those who dunno ..he 'pop' his shoulders during the last match..so it's kinda a re-match this time)
he won the match, and the crowd went wild again! n there I went again, screaming my lungs out!

The final match was between a Thai, Yodsaenklai and an Aussie, John Wayne.
I was totally all for Yodsaenklai.. he's been doing muay thai since young and he's only 23 yrs old! he was cool n almost all his punches were freaking strong! n the funny part was that his opponent did a lot of wild punches ..which was kinda annoying.. but in the end..the clearly better fighter won! he must be really happy man.. US$150,000! that's like a million baht or smtg!

after the match..I was all inspired n motivated again.. was so looking forward to muay thai class today! haa. halfway tru training..i really take my hats off to these professional fighters.. it's honestly physically n mentally tiring.. a lot of endurance.. determination...n dedication... all for the money n fame? .... it seems quite worthwhile!

oh yes..the good news is... The Contender will be telecast on Channel5 on thursdays! finally! i can't wait!

with metta..
