contender asia

watching contender asia makes me want to try muay thai. i have been a big fan of contender, weird for some but i am a boxing fan. when i first heard of contender asia i got really excited because i thought it was a chance to feature good filipino boxers. to my surprise though, contender asia was muay thai boxing. i was a bit disappointed but still watched the pilot episode 3 weeks ago. i love it. the fights are more physical because you get to not only punch. every time i watch i feel like im getting hurt as well. i do hope to watch more exciting fights in the coming weeks.
