Greetings my Friends... Kru Robert Valdez Head of MuayThai Philippines and a former Yaw-Yan Undefeated fighter just arrived form Thailand (June 15, 2004) from a World MuayThai Council and IFMA meeting...He gave me a call this morning informing me that he met the Editor of MuayThai Magazine and told him that the Yaw-Yan fighters who fought in Thailand and/or who fought against MuayThais are documented by the Thai Government... The editor will feature Yaw-Yan in the MuayThai Magazine including photos of Emiliano Zapata who defeated Bam Boon Lamban (Not sure of spelling)at the Rizal Memorial Coleseum in Manila, Philippines over a Full Capacity Crowd. That fight night featured two MuayThais sent by the Thai Embassy to fight 2 Filipinos. The first MuayThai KOd the first Filipino fighter from a different style... The 2nd fight which was the main event of that evening featured The pride of Yaw-Yan, Sir Emiliano Zapata who won against the brave Thai fighter...who was just astonished with Zapatas fast and unorthodox kicks, not to mention the power that goes with it. Im now tasked to recover photos of that night...and once I have it, Yaw-Yan will soon be featured in a MuayThai Magazine whereYaw-Yan will get the exposure it needs. The Serious exposure that we need. Mabuhay ang Yaw-Yan Wanlu
Tika 1980 tsk tsk tsk someones gonna get in trouuuubblleeeee... __________________ Whats the problem dude!!! Wanlu
So Sorry... I didnt mean to repeat post at the same Category...My sincerest apologies dudes and dudettes... I was trying to post it at both FMA and ThaiBoxing Categories Again...so sorry. Wanlu
I love it, that just made my night... *HUG* Just be careful, I think posting the same thing even in seperate forums is considered cross posting or something like that. You dont wanna get on the mods bad side , thats a scary place.
boss wanlu, don't cross post. maybe it would be better just to write an article and submit it to the mods for the website. pm juramentado or yoda. mabuhay ang yaw-yan!
Just wondering. Is this a Thai match? I see the fighter has instep pads on! No Mr Andy...the picture above is not the fight between Emiliano Zapata and Bam Boon Lamban (Not sure of spelling) the picture you see above is Zapata winning over an honorable man -Tisoy Siscon of Bakbakan International Im still searching for photos of that MuayThai fight...if do find it, Ill post it here. However, Ive seen photos of that fight and both fighters were wearing elbow pads...bacause that was practically the first ever MuayThai fighter seen in action in Manila...it was in the early 1980's the time when Kickboxing fights in Manila does not allow knees and elbow strikes... Re picture above...yes both fighters were wearing pads since its the rules of the officiating body...the now disbanded Philippine Footboxing Federation (PFBF) Emiliano Zapata has a record of 105 Undefeated fights ...it would be an honor if you could visit his unofficial site at http://geocities.com/partyzoo88/Zapata.html Thanks Wanlu
