Tiger Muay Thai’s MacKinnon runs record to an impressive to 9-1

Five stitches is a small price to pay for last night’s victory in Patong, according to Tiger Muay Thai and MMA training camp, Phuket, Thailand fighter Jamie “Milkman” MacKinnon. Although his French opponent, Manu, landed a strong elbow cutting his head in the first, MacKinnon applied so much pressure in the second that the other fighter simply couldn’t carry on.

“My plan was to come out nice and slow, but he set a fast pace,” explained MacKinnon who used to work as a mechanic in Scotland. “Near the end of the first round and I could see him getting tired. In the second I landed some good shots that were simply too much for him. To be honest, the victory was more satisfying for me knowing that he had to quit.”

The win moves MacKinnon’s record to 9-1 – something he attributes to his excellent training at Tiger.

“The level of training here is unbeatable. It’s an individual sport when you’re in the ring, but you need a team to get you ready for it. Tiger’s that team.”

Not so lucky in last night’s battle was TMT fighter Jimmy Allan Irvine. He took a strong knee just above the groin, followed by a knee to the face during the third. Opponent Richie Green took the TKO, but Irvine kept up his optimism.

“It’s back to training,” said the fighter shortly after his finish. “I’ll get my fitness better and just work on technique.”

First time in ring for Tiger Muay Thai Fighter!

The return of an old knee injury didn’t keep Tiger Muay Thai and MMA training camp, Phuket, Thailand fighter George Bailey from scoring a fourth round TKO in his first Muay Thai fight at Bangla Stadium. The personal protection security guard from England came to Tiger six months ago for a new lease on life.

“I came to Tiger to take on something new,” explained Bailey, who has had three MMA smoker fights. “I had no previous fight experience before this but I absolutely love it. Hopefully I can make the fight team one day.”

It was, however, a different result for TMT pro fighter Tracy Lockwood who lost a decision battle against Amy Sharp from England. She will be taking a week off over the holidays to get back into the swing of things after a bad cold.

Tiger Muay Thai Never Looked So Good!

Tiger Muay Thai babe, Genah “Fabioso” Fabian hit the ropes last night with huge fanfare ready to support her first fight. The New Zealand beauty took the decision win against Camilla Moberg of Sweden with her usual mix of sexy and cool.

“It was a thrill,” exclaimed the fighter, who has been at Tiger Muay Thai and MMA training camp, Phuket, Thailand since August. “I remember giving my friends one last look before it started and that was it. The rest is blank.”

Born with a natural athletic ability, the professional rower has competed on both national and international levels – even earning a spot on next year’s olympic team which she subsequently turned down.

“I had to find my passion and love for the sport of rowing again,” explains Fabian who has been living in Sydney, Australia for the past five years. “I came here to get into the best shape of my life and to work towards the 2016 Olympics.”

It seems, however, that she may have fallen in-love with a new sport instead.

“I can’t believe I did it! Just getting in there was such a huge accomplishment for me. I’m so proud of myself.”

Up next was Piril Vårdal of Norway. Although he came off a first round TKO from his last fight in November, he lost an impressive fight to a decision. The fighter will head home for the holidays and return next year in hopes of a rematch.

Rounding out the evening was Jamie Davis who took at fourth round TKO in front of his mom, Naomi.

“That made is all the more nerve-wracking,” explained the 21 year-old from England. “I refuse to lose with her watching!”

Although he took a nasty elbow to the head, Davis kept up the jabs and leg kicks until his opponent Munilnoi couldn’t take anymore.

“Winning is the most amazing feeling I’ve ever felt before,” gushed the fighter, who is here for six months. “The confidence fighting gives you is just amazing.”

Tiger Muay Thai fighter conquers @ Bangla Stadium

When asked to describe his fight at Bangla Stadium last night, Patrick Schmid doesn’t mince words. “I came, I saw, I won.”
The TMT guest fighter from Denmark has been competing for over six years primarily in Sanda Chinese Boxing and was happy to see some stiff competition in the ring.

“I saw that he was much bigger than me so I had to move a lot,” explains Schmid, whose last two fights ended in first round knockouts against smaller opponents. “In the end I was just faster. In the second I used my elbows and cut him open so they stopped the fight.”

TMT fighter Ty Kelly of Australia found himself in a much different situation. After an intense five rounds involving many heavy leg kicks, he lost to a decision.

While Kelly returns to the Sunshine Coast in January, Schmid has no plans on leaving.

“I’ll fight until they stop giving me fights.”
