The Contender Asia Episode 4: The lose after the win
Friday, March 14th, 2008Picture from www.contenderasia.com
Please do not be surprise if the title of each episodes are not familiar and unlike what they have in the official contender website because it is my own title that pick up from my own feeling after watching the video. After Raifk left, every one in the red team were very happy and also they happy for good performance of team’s captain, John. But the tragedy still haunting around that members of the red team think that this was not a very good fight for John, or even for John himself he feels that Rafik was too good to overcome and also he gonna lose to Rafik at the end of the fight. John think that this is not what he expect and the fight was something that not really represent him and he should have done a lot better than that. I personally agree with this because I can notice that they both were losing original patterns of Muay Thai, and they seemed fight only with angry! Due to the conflict between Jaba and Rafik that was made before the fight.
John got serious injuries on both his face and bruises on his feet. I don’t know hoe these happened but it seems not so good for John. So that’s why I named this part of episode like this, when loser become winner and winner becomes a loser. However, the rest have to continue the competition and no matter they are the loser or winner, the more important thing than the result of the competition is the spirit of these guy for being honest and accept all the criticism as well as maintaining the good spirit of Muay Thai.
