Muay Thai? Never. Not really. Only watched it a bit as a teenager after seeing Kickboxer and being into martial arts in general and TKD and Aikido in particular. But that was in Australia in late '80s and early '90s. So, I was aware of it, then I watched a bit of it and thought "Fuck me, they ain't messin' around up there!" And at the time could see why people thought it was too full-on and American/Full Contact Kickboxing was the sport which would take off.
Kun Khmer (Pradal Serey)? I've been watching it irregularly since coming to Phnom Penh, but I've been working specifically in it for 18 months. I had to do a bunch of research real fast and ask a lot of questions and meet a heap of people in the first two months. Since then it's just become part of my job.
The next big thing are the Indoor fights. A couple of the boxers are new to me, so I'm having to learn about them right now. A couple of them I know all about because it was my show that made them stars and the others, well, I see Vorn Viva every week and Thun Sophea's still pissed off at me from the world titles last year!
