News from the Gold Coast

Ali lost his fight tonight, but everyone is proud of the way he fought!

This picture says a million words
Ali lost to Flip Street tonight but he made Malaysia proud and put up a good fight. During the first round Ali took some heavy punches to the head. Then in the second round Ali was elbowed and received a cut to his right brow(Ali received 4 stitches), but this didn't break his spirit. Ali came back strong in the 3rd round and managed to kick Flip hard twice to the neck but this didn't manage to knock Flip down, maybe his kick wasn't quite as powerful due to Flip's height. In round 4, Ali was hit by a strong uppercut to his jaw and everyone was amazed that he wasn't floored. Overall Ali put up a good fight and everyone was impressed by him. They were also impressed by his fighting spirit.


Ali's weight averages at 57kg but Flip,who during the weigh-in was 60kg had dropped the weight(water etc) to get down to 60kg but the next day after the weigh-in he looked more like 63kg,that would make him 6kg's heavier than Ali, this is what experienced fighters do. This is something Ali and a lot of us need to learn. All said and done, Ali put up a really good fight and proved to us all he's really skilled, tough and that it's not easy to bring him down!

In June Ali will fight Australia Champion, Chris White, for the WMC Asian Title. Chris is 57kg.

News Update!!

Ali has just weighed in at 57kg's his opponent Flip weighed in at 60kg's

Ali's fight will be the highlight fight tomorrow night and it will be aired on Australian T.V. Talk about pressure! We know you can do it Ali!!!

Ali vs Flip Street

This is the Title Belt

Ali flew to Gold Coast, Australia yesterday for one of the biggest muaythai battles of his life, THE WAR ON THE SHORE. And let me assure you this won't be a beach party!!!!

For your information Flip hails from Boonchu Gym, John Wayne Parr's gym and is one of his students. John Wayne was runner-up in Contender Asia Season 1. So if Flip fights anything like his coach, this will indeed be a tough fight for Ali.

Ali has been accompanied to Gold Coast, Australia by Bernard who will be his corner man. Bernard will also oversee Ali's training before his fight this Saturday in Gold Coast.



If all goes well, after the fight these guys want to try their luck at surfing. I have a feeling these guys are going to have a great time.

This has been an eventful 6 months for Ali, participation in the IFMA world Championships, winning at the King's Cup, training with some of the world's best in Thailand and now the chance to bring back an international title belt.

If a any of you want to wish Ali luck, please do so here as Ali is now internet savvy and travels with his laptop!
