As I am a huge Jean-Claude Van Damme fan, here is my thought about the upcoming event: -Jean-Claude Van Damme was a karate/kickboxing/semi & full contact champion before becoming an actor. His record is 18-1 KO.
He tried various forms of martial arts such as taekwondo, kung fu, muay thai, etc...
Now, after nearly 30 years away from the ring, Van Damme has decided to comeback as a fighter to prove that
"impossible is nothing".
Van Damme has developed his physique over the years to become the
ultimate fighting machine! But let's not forget that his opponent is the undefeated Olympic gold-medalist boxer and kickboxer Somrak Kamsing! So, I guess Van Damme knows that he has to rely on his most powerful weapon to win this challenge:
his legs.I have been following JCVD's fighting techniques for years, and I can tell that the man has a built-in sensor that tells him when to move, avoid a kick/punch and throw one!
So, yes, logic says that Somrak should win...but those who know JC, specially from the National Center of Karate/Kickboxing in Brussels, say that
winning is the only word in Van Damme's martial arts vocabulary.
I read that the fight is going to happen in Thailand, 11 November 2011.
Me & my friends made this multilingual video
