vic should absolutely be in the HOF

Vic the brick.

Vic was beating everyone up under 135 in the amateur/semi pro scene in Sydney and Melbourne, I wanna say 99-02. Kickboxing was huge in Australia at this time, every gym was doing both lol, and then it sorta just disappeared again in like 05, was a strange phenomena.

I saw Darchninyan spar a few times in my gym then, small ring, early pro career, even then that style seemed so obvious (the left, the left the left lol), but nobody could stop it happening, and it just continued into the pro ranks overseas. He really believed in himself and was extremely focused in the ring, that and the left got him so far.

Prime example of good coaching and not trying to re write the playbook. If someone has a strength and its winning, work with the strength, don't try and re write their movement patterns too much. Add a few things, but let the strength do its thing.
