National Kickboxing

Urquidez's retirement fight.

Urquidez's toughest opponent. No love lost between these two.

Taro, Minato (Japan) vs. Dekkers, Ramon (Holland)
Mismatch. But who was to know?

Tavernini, Justin (Canada) vs. Robson, Darren 2 (Canada)

Taylor, Jason (Canada) vs. Berkolayko, Stephen (Russia)
The Canadian attempts to mix it up but Berkolayko is too experienced and too fast. (Copyright MIKE MILES PRODUCTIONS)

Teerapong (Thailand) vs. Dekkers, Ramon (Holland)
Classic match up.

Therdkiat (Thailand) vs. Fairtex, Jongsanan (Thailand)
A good war between two talented athletes. Jongsanan takes the decision.

Therdkiat (Thailand) vs. Orono (Thailand)
Orono can not come up to snuff in this encounter which he loses the decision to his foe.

Theriault, Jean Yves (Canada) vs. DeSnoo, Leo (Holland)
DeSnoo figures he can repeat what fellow countryman Rob Kaman did and that was kick Theriault into submission. The strategy does not work the way the Dutch athlete hopes and he throws many low kicks, finally being disqualified by this tactic. The problem with this bout is that Theriault has run out of 'above the waist' athletes to fight while DeSnoo is a low kick and Muay Thai athlete trained to kick to the legs. The problem with these kind of match ups are that rules are always infringed upon.

Theriault, Jean Yves (Canada) vs. Hoost, Ernesto (Holland)
A very young and inexperienced Hoost steps into the ring with the very experienced journeyman Theriault. The bout is under full contact rules and Theriault wins. Hoost gets warned for a few low kicks. Theriault only fought once with leg kicks (Rodriguez) and lost badly. He was to remain an above the waist athlete throughout his entire career.

Theriault, Jean Yves (Canada) vs. Kaman, Rob (Holland)
Jean Yves has criticized Kaman (in print) for not having much power during this match. The Canadian also has an excuse for losing this bout (bad back). Why then did he take the bout? Jean Yves has been very gracious to all his previous opponents which is why his comments are so confusing. Watch the video and judge Kaman's power.

Theriault, Jean Yves (Canada) vs. Petridis, Tasis (Australia)
Petridis keeps very active while remaining very unorthodox. Petridis defeats his fighting hero. Petridis is a low kick and Muay Thai athlete so this makes this feat even a greater accomplishment for the Australian athlete.

Theriault, Jean Yves (Canada) vs. Reed, Marcus (USA)
The Champions' final fight. The problem here is that they fed the Champ Reed who had considerably far less experience. No slight at Theriault, but even magazines considered this fight to be a gift. Under Full Contact rules, Theriault was great!!!

Theriault, Jean Yves (Canada) vs. Roufus, Rick (USA)
A very close fight that teeters back and forth. Roufus wins the decision and the torch is passed to the new champion. Unfortunately, Full Contact Rules takes a dive in popularity after this fight and support for the sport disappears off the airwaves. Why?

Theriault, Jean Yves (Canada) vs. Rodrigues, Blinky (USA)
This bout shows the reason why Theriault would never fight with leg kicks again in his career.

Theriault, Jean Yves (Canada) vs. Wilson, Don (USA)
Theriault had an off day here. But Wilson looked smooth and should have won the decision on this day. The bout was called a draw and has been controversial since.

Thomson, Michael (UK) vs. Kiatsongrit, Cheungpuek (Thailand)
Kiatsongrit suffers internal injuries from this kick of Thomson who wins by KO.

Thomas, Duduy (France) vs. Robson, Darren (Canada)
Thomas (in red) outclasses and outguns Robson (in blue) who seems to just stand there and does not fight back. Robson does not even look shook from the blows but just seems to give up. (Copyright MIKE MILES PRODUCTIONS)

Thornhill, Jeff (Canada) vs. Pouroskoui, Medhi (Canada)
Complaints of illegal elbows. They both seem to throw them in this clip.

Tolgyesi, Csaba (Hungary) vs. Muangdoobua, Kao-Pikad (Thailand)
Thai friend of mine who proves too strong for his foe winning by first round TKO.

Tomes, Kimberly (USA) vs. Linley, Erin (Canada)
Linley provides pressure working strong both on the outside and in the clinch to win the bout and the title. (Copyright MIKE MILES PRODUCTIONS)

Touktaulova, Anastasia (Russia) vs. Linley, Erin (Canada)
Though the decision was close, Linley should have won this bout. Touktaulova poses and boxes sporadically while Linley controls the exchanges and kicks far more effectively.

Tozer, Lesley (Canada) vs. Gladstone, Jessica (Canada)
Jessica Gladstone, a very humble but dynamite athlete, hands self-proclaimed Canadian Champion Lesley Tozer her proverbial behind in this match.

Trebunia, Mike (Canada) vs. Allen, Chris (England)
A great experience for the highly talented Trebunia.

Trebunia, Mike (Canada) vs. Poirier, Jimmy (Holland)
The very tough Dutch athlete eventually wears down from the constant attack of the Canadian. (Copyright MIKE MILES PRODUCTIONS)

Trebunia, Mike (Canada) vs. Russell, Shawn (Canada)
A great fight between these two very tough athletes. (Copyright MIKE MILES PRODUCTIONS)

Trebunia, Mike (Canada) vs. Turcotte, Curtis (Canada)
Trebunia has a very tough time defending his title against the equally tough Turcotte.

Tsutsui, George (USA) vs. Menor, Melcor (USA)
Brutal exchanges between these two athletes in a great encounter.

Tsutsui, George (USA) vs. Steele, Danny (USA) vs.
A big fight between these two for a title. George grabs the win much to Danny's chagrin.

Turcotte, Curtis (Canada) vs. Trebunia, Mike (Canada)
Trebunia has a very tough time defending his title against the equally tough Turcotte.
