Picture from www.contenderasia.com
But before I will talk about the new captain of the blue team. There is something to talk about the training. I am not really sure that what I can see on the series is the whole training. I think that the training is too lose for all fighters, compare to their potential. They should get tougher and more intensive training programme. However, this is not just for the commercial purpose, but if the organiser would like to success in business as well as success in promoting Muay Thai, they should arrange some kind of intensive training programmes that similar to what’s being done in Thailand, then the audience should know what the professional training in Thailand look like. However, the objective of this series may be different, so we have nothing to do with it.
Now let’s go further to the game. The atmosphere between teams going on well, but the red team looks a bit better when they have two consecutive wins. However, for the blue team, we got a surprise that one member of them is not well and has a problem with his intestine. But Alan still be good and full of intention to fight. The new captain of the bule team is David, whom I can see his shining since fight between John and Rafik. He was the one who gave support to both Rafik and Bruce. He is strong and tough so it is no doubt he deserve to be the new captain.
