Our Report on Day 2 of the F3 Kombat Championship

Look I had my moan on yesterdays post about this event, so i wont go into any of the issues I have with this event here, instead lets look at what was a very successful Day 2.

Unlike yesterday I would say the hall was 99% full ready for the finals of the muay thai competition and the as Will Chope described it Super Duper Twos after the Super 4 idea was decimated by half the card pulling out.

The first muay thai fight was Some Yung Fella Ma Lad vs Mohamed My Dad – Really, some young fighter from Singapore had to beat up a man more likely to keel over with a heart attack than inflict any damage on his opponent so that fight didn’t last long as flabby belly and bandy legs never beats skill and power, dam, who knew.

The second fight was a ladies MMA event as Qin Yun Quan faced off against Amanda Loo

After last nights lackluster almost silent crowd it was a nice change today to hear lots of noise from the fans around the ring and after the almost joke muay thai fight the next fight was to wake everybody up.

These two girls did not let us down, they came to fight and fight is what they were going to do. We had a grappler in Quan against a very good stand up fighter in Loo. That’s not to say they could not fight in the others strengths, they could, but the great thing about MMA is it’s all about a range of styles and nobody can master them all.

So, the first round this fight went back and forth with stand up and ground battling and it was a very exciting and even fight.

For the second round Amanda Loo really started to make her stand up tell and she was managing to get some serious punches into Quans face. Eventually Quan knew she had to take it to the ground but what she did not expect was to be reversed and end up with Loo on top and eventually taking Quans back and inflicting a rear named choke.

It was a very exciting fight and both these young ladies put on a very good courageous show. I would like to see them both continue in MMA.

The crowd were very excited now and the noise level has risen considerably many of the audience had given up on their seats.

The next fight was a muay thai bout, the final of the muay thai super 4 and it was a great fight, three rounds of action in which after the first round it looked like there would only be one winner as the Fighter from Singapore had placed a beauty of a punch on his opponents chin that led to him falling face first to the floor and over the bottom rope. Somehow he got up and managed to make the end of the round. In the second and third rounds he managed to turn it around and it was a very close decision but the Malaysian fighter much to the delight of the kampung boys who were cheering loudly was handed the decision. A superb comeback and a very enjoyable fight.

The fourth bout was another MMA event the Super Duper two!

Teh Kah Wei vs Will “The Kill” Chope – Chope is by far the more experienced fighter and has fought internationally including at the highly ranked Philippine MMA organization URCC. Where Chope is making a run for a title belt.

All the talk before the event was of Will Chope Vs Isanu Himaru, it was generally believed these two would make the final and scrap it out but once Himaru pulled out it seems that Chope had an easy run at the F3 Champions belt.

I’m pleased to say that was not the case and Teh Kah Wei has obviously improved one heck of a lot since people last saw him fight and his physically size was proving a problem to Chope. Chope is tall 6″4′ and light having weighed in at less than 73kg. Wei is much smaller but solid and weight something like 7kg more. This was to prove a useful advantage.

We had a full three rounds and the first round was definitely very close, Wei I think surprised Chope with his strength and ability and at the rounds end I soon had three different opinions on who won the round.

The second and third rounds were easier to call as Chope used his knees and elbows to devastating effect leaving Wei with a heavily blooded nose and although right up until the end of the fight, I think it would have been a major surprise if Chope was not awarded the win.

Much to his relief he was indeed the winner. It had a been a great fight, Wei had certainly made people sit up and take notice and Chope had proved he has a warriors heart as he pulled through for the win.

At the end of the fight both fighters were spent and both looked battered, they had certainly put everything into this fight. This is what MMA is about, two hard ass fighters giving there all.

I think there might have been another muay thai fight but really I cannot be sure, I was busy talking to people and taking pictures (Hey, get off my back, I may enjoy watching Muay Thai but I don’t know enough about it to write intelligently about it).

The event for me ended there and it was a very enjoyable night, the crowd made a great noise and the fighters put in a great show. I truly believe with proper marketing, a decent venue and all the things around the event being better organized, well, I believe F3 could produce stunning events with crowd of at least twice the size of tonights effort. Even, somebody selling could drinks would have been a major improvement as the room was so dam hot as to be very uncomfortable.
