He proved the world wrong, twice... by taking out 2 GOATS. This is the story of Jonathan Haggerty, the general. It's rare for a fighter with 20 fights to take out legendary champions with 300+ fights. The world didn't believe Haggerty could do it, but he believed it, and then did it.

Always have.
awesome @@jjstratford
Yup since his fighting days he is n all rounder in Muay Thai boxing but his punching power is not there yet after he goes up weight he also improved his punching power from his fight with Nong O I predicted he will lose to Nong O maybe bye KO or TKO but I,m so wrong instead he Jonathan KO Nong O,from his striking n his moving up weight I honestly believe if Jonathan n rodtang will have a rematch in Jonathan weight class rodtang will lose the fights maybe KO late rounds 4 or 5 oh my personal perspective of Jonathan now bless him peace cheers
no he lost to rodtang zo he is just mediocre hasn't defeated any of the big names yet.
@@sc4rlyt3 Yeah, sure. Mediocre... Nong-O, Mongkolpetch, Sam-A
As a Thai person, I respect him very much. He has skills, he is a real Thai boxer🎉🎉
Just another farang.
@@chinaboss6683 Seeing a Thai legend get owned, in Thailand, by just another farang must suck.
@@trask9100 Sadly the tables habe turned.
Yea we know don’t need any Thai’s approval
@@ham7357He didn’t say you did
Lawrence Kenshin does Jonathan Haggerty video and it's 38 minutes long. Pinch me I'm dreaming
😆
RIGHT!?
thanks!@@dukey03
My exact thoughts lol
i had the pleasure of meeting him during a seminar, super genuine guy and way more down to earth than youd expect, he was born in the same county of the uk as me, so its pretty insane having a world champ in my sport training an hour away.
🔥🔥
Same here I was just thinking about that. It's crazy to me that I live in the same town of Orpington that he grew up in. Trained for a few months at his father's gym Keddles (now known as fordes) and it's just mad to me that I'm training in a world champion gym. Never met him like yourself, I bet he's lovely alike the people who work and attend at the gym.
@@owenschmowen5313 yeah, real nice guy, Im still relatively a beginner and he was completely understanding to the fact that my flexibility, speed and etc was not up to his, for example at the time I couldn't head kick very well with my left leg, so he personally showed me a different combo. Really good teacher.
Greatness can’t be denied. You can tell he’s a goat
You mean born in Britainistan
It's like Haggerty just downloaded Muay Thai Matrix style. To have that level of Muay Thai technical knowledge and such a high level Muay Thai fight IQ with only 20-odd fights, and especially as a non-Thai, is absolutely mind-blowing. He fights like a native Thai with 200+ fights. It's unbelievable to watch.
Because white people are genetically stronger than Asians
That’s one of the benefits of the internet, there’s a lot of awful shit on the internet but having blogs and videos and breakdowns and articles and step by steps that if you have the mind and willingness you have access to everything. You don’t have to figure things out the slow or hardest way until it’s time to fight
Finally Haggerty getting the recognition he deserves he’s fighting for the kickboxing title soon after becoming the Muay Thai champion 🔥
yessss
Defeating Nong-O was such an impressive victory for Jonathan Haggerty. He cemented himself as a Legend. Heartbroken for Nong-O tho, such an incredible Champion and seeing him get finished like that was tough. 🙏
yes thats the natural flow of combat sport championships though
They ALL have the day when the young lions unseat them from their throne.
This is what sets this sport apart, haggerty was still a teen fighting the worlds best, boxing will forever be a crooked shady sport, Muay Thai fighters and most mma don’t get the recognition they deserve, absolute warrior I can’t state the respect I have for these men 💯👑
I saw a lot of comments here that sought for our soreness when our fighter lost to a farang fighter. That's wrong ! We're already happy world people like Muay Thai and we're actually looking forward to a farang fighter who's really good and honest to Muay Thai among tons of 'contaminated' fighters who just self-branded MT for own benefits. Winning our GOATs doesn't mind as long as he's honest and doesn't just impersonate MT as other martial art for own promotion like many world fighters do. Jonathan Haggerty is true to MT, his style is authentic, we respect him for that and he's really good with demeanor.
It's like watching the Japanese excel in Baseball as an American, or, here in Canada, seeing any other country beat us at our own sport, Hockey. But, at the end of the day, it's all about who played or fought better. No matter who you are, you have to respect that. Your comment is very wise, thank you for leaving it!
Haggerty is the best Western Muay Thai practitioner. I have always believed in Jon. "Minor setbacks, major comebacks!" - Jonathan Haggerty
@@Moradokpetwhos better 🤣 where are they, cause they aren’t in the biggest Thai promotion in the world. And if they are they aren’t champ like he is so
One is lilttle different then the traditional muay thai.. its strait 3 rds since the gloves are 6oz .. save fighters health for longevity.. muay thai uses 8oz padded.. best ever westerner is an overstatement, cause there has been many pass great westerners that has pave the way for haggerty.. i can name 2 hand fulls an has fought in more tougher era then haggerty To me i feel like nong-o couldv brought more to the table in that fight, he looked too flat footed to get knocked out like that an way too smart to allow him to get knocked out , he isnt the greatest westerner just my opinion Obviously the next bout will be haggerty vs rodtang or superlek its rigged for viewers
@@Moradokpetshutup man
💯💯💯💯👑
@@blackmaxbranning3666 at least he has an opinion, “by far best westerner”? I think noot as well
Haggerty is seemingly much more comfortable and powerful with the additional weight afforded from the move to bantamweight. He was/is technically superb so when more power and durability is added, he really is a formidable opponent. Great video 👍🏻
Great point!
The man is a beast at this weight.
People forget before he fought Sam-a he fought a prime Superlek with 12 fights and done really well until it got stopped by a cut
It's so awesome that ONE FC let's everyone use footage from their fights without trying to copyright strike it. Definitely good for the sport, and the promotion 👍
JH is for sure one of the most technical Muai Thai fighters. I must have seen his fights with Rodtang more than 20 times, it's always pleasure to see 2 legends fight. I knew JH will bounce back and he did. This video shows the details of the fall and rise of the legend.
I think I caught on to him when he fought Joseph Lasiri, and when I saw the display of elbows, I was immediately hooked. What beauty they are for sure! And the intent put behind the strikes is really something to watch.
Oh wow i didn't know he defeated Nong O 😮 I've been out of the Muay Thai scene for a bit. But wow congrats to him
🔥
I've watched Johnathan fight for a while in ONE CHAMPIONSHIP. I wanted to see him win but Rodtang was impossible to get past. Then the fight with Nong O was shocking ! I would like to see him fight Rodtang a third time for redemption. Great video
I’m not sure, but Rodtang may compete in the next division down, right? If so, I think Haggerty is too drained at flyweight. He is the best version of himself at BW.
Maybe in a catchweight fight with Rodtang and Haggerty meeting in the middle. Weight management for Haggerty at Rodtang's division is unbelievably brutal.
@@jjstratford If i recall corretly, Rodtang said after beating tavares that he wanted to fight haggerty for the belt at 135. But they gave him superlek so idk
@@romanvercier3556 I'd say he called out Haggerty to avoid fighting Superlek. I'm not saying he's scared of Superlek but he was dodging him IMO.
@@jjstratford Agree. Haggerty is even more of a monster at the proper weight. Would love to see a 3rd Rodtang fight though.
Nobody... and I mean... NOBODY... can give the insights and fight breakdowns that this guy gives... love it! Another brilliant upload mate... Top Notch! 🙏🤟
"Train hard untill your idol becomes your rival"
Thank you Lawrence Kenshin. This means a lot. What you do means a lot. Best of the best on KZhead and at all.
I have watched this man for years,even the fights he lost were epic.A very dangerous fighter in a very dangerous combat sport.Well done Jonathan!!!
Lawrence's breakdowns are simply outstanding. I love this sport
👍🏻
His fight with rodtang got me into one and i have been amazed by the guys skills ever since
Only just seen this legend hitting the pads on siam boxing last week and thought damn this guy is sharp. I've just came into this video oblivious to his accomplishments and I must say it is exeptionally well done, so kudos to you. Great journey he has been on and you have showcased this brilliantly👍
Thanks for the video Lawrence!!
Thank you for the content! Loving the Haggerty video!🙏
Glad you enjoy it!
Brilliant analysis and stirring story, Lawrence. Thank you.
🔥
That fight with nong-O was a Coban Vs Diamond Dekkers II Remake!
Never doubted again ✊ awesome video, can’t wait to see him reign 👑
Awesome! Haggerty is my favorite Muay Thai fighter!
he's great
Same. I don’t even pay that much attention to Muay Thai but I god damn know Haggy. Just pure art of striking. Fuel for the soul how beautiful it is…
I love watch Haggerty fights, it's so beautiful to see. Everything is so puny, executed perfectly on time. Love it.
Watching him grow in confidence and aggression has been awesome. He has one of the meanest elbow games I’ve ever seen. It was sad to see the will to fight leave in his Rodtang matches-you could see it leave. He came back with much more heart and confidence. I really enjoy his recent fights.
Rodtang just nailed him with mean body shots in the 2nd fight. They take away even the best fighters will to fight. Your body just shuts down. No shame in those losses at all.
@@keithprice1950indeed. There is no shame in losing a fight to one of the best in the world.
Brilliant video mate, so exciting and great storytelling too.
John is one of the most crisp fighters I have ever seen. I don't have any other word for it. When he swings it's tight, powerful and in almost perfect form and technique. Hence, crisp. Not only that, if he misses he snaps back into position.
Jonathan Haggerty is a legend so tough and so technical ,just amazing to watch
Me getting chills at 4am watching this video 😍 what a way to start the day. The thing i most admire avout Haggerty is that through it all, he just seems like such a nice and genuine bloke who carries himself with such grace and respect. The perfect blend of humility, confidence, and self belief
Do a video about Chingiz Allazov next, I super love your breakdown of Jonathan Haggerty, he is by far the best foreign muay thai fighter I've seen
Another amazing legend story, told superbly, thanks ;)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video! I watched to the whole thing. Great coverage and story telling. Bravo
Usually when i watched one of your nice doc's, it was a trip down memory lane..but this guy totally flew by my radar without ever even hearing his name..i'm really glad you brought him up though! What a legend...reminds me of Ramon Dekkers in his prime! Will definitely keep an eye out now :)
What an amazing video, so entertaining, thanks so much for putting this together!
Training in the same area as him in Koh Samui, Thailand, saw him once at the stadium and had the chance to talk to him and take a selfie with him, super nice guy all round
These Muay Thai breakdowns are great, I love them!
His feint game is tops. He is a very confusing fighter, very technical. Combined with his power and drive, there is no one who should not respect his abilities. He is showing young fighters how to achieve greatness. Such a young fighter to have achieved so much, very inspiring.
I would say the only man who could compete for the greatest underdog in Muay Thai history would be Ramon Dekkers. But I could understand arguments for either. Great video dude 🤙
This was awesome, what a champion and humble too
Another fantastic video mate! I thought you'd finished up doing them. Glad you changed your mind 🙌🏽
Glad you enjoyed!
This was fantastic! Huge fan nicely done.
This video is awesome, Very good job Lawrence and his team (you and the pc/mac?) This is top quality and I really appreciate your efforts in the editing and commentary.
Love haggerty's spike elbow, also the one he throws against rodtang at 20:23 in this video is pretty cheeky
Really love this in depth videos!
Fantastic documentary! TV quality right here. Keep up the good work
Awesome vid as always, thanks a lot 😁
Glad you enjoyed!
Lawrence, awesome video as usual, thanks.
Amazing fighter, thanks for posting.
It's sad more ppl don't know who this man is, ppl here in the US think if it's not ufc there not good, him and allazov are some of the best strikers in the world in my opinion
that happened after rodtang lost to johnson everyone started talking sht about mua thai but those "everyone" are the kind of fat fs that watch fight night from the couch while drinking 🍻🍻 so dont mind em
Cant believe this guy has gone from fighting in the casino rooms in kent to nong o in thailand on one. What a story... look forward to his next..
I admire this man's determination, keep it up!
Amazing. Loved every second of it.
Bloody awesome work on the video!
If would be awesome if you could break down some of his fights!!! Thanks for your work!
Jon is this generation's Ramon Dekkers. Fighting Thais in their own land and becoming a champ as an underdog
Great video, very moving!
I was stoked when nong-o vs haggity was announced. I knew it was going to be a brilliant fight. Dude was not to be underestimated
Haggerty is a very unique fighter and will go down as one of the goats. He is truly an inspiration to all fighters and simply those who struggle in life !
Johnathan Haggerty 🇬🇧 This lad is gonna land in ufc soon
thanks for uploading this uplifting video... had a key handed to me recently and almost dropped it... I have tightly in my hand and gonna open a door and go through it!
Nice cut well written good music Thanks
I fell out of my seat when Haggerty stopped Nong-O. Im excited to see what else he has in store for us fight fans.
His story is a for a movie...Massive respect for the lad...
Did not know him! Amazing video. Thanks
37 minutes well spent 😍, that was awesome. Haggerty is a beast
Yes it was!
Beautiful video. 🥰 Thanks for making it. Haggerty has a beautiful style, a good heart and I think many wish him the best. 👏🏻Has he fought Superlek? It seemed like so from the video.
Big respect to Haggerty man. What a beast!
Before that shot had even followed through Nong-O’s chin all the way, Haggerty was already 🤯 - realizing what he’d just done.
God I love his striking, it flows so well. That vertical elbow is siccckk!
I cant imagine being only 26 and both acomplishimg and going through so much up and down. Good for him. I look forward to his MMA career!
Another banger, the best channel on KZhead for fight breakdown. Much love 💗
"Train hard so your idols become your rivals" Goes so hard! I have goosebumps.
Haggerty is a great balance between trusting one self and being humble at the same time. All the best to the General.
The general is and always will be a true legend. by the way thank you for such and amazing Documentary yet again 🙏
Jonathan Haggerty is a real Legend ,nobody should ever doubt him he has the tools to get all the belts .💪
Your channel is brilliant.
I watched him the first time when he fought Superlek at Yokkao match. And that time i saw he kicking and teeping like everyone who’s Thai fighter his moves is so “TRUE MUAY THAI STYLE” but i didn’t care much about him back then I just thought he just another foreigner fighters like others,but nope I still saw’s him much more every years and when he joined ONE Im so proud that he is the one foreigner that I know baxk then and after that I followed him and see he can beat many of muay thai stars look how he stand now. I can’t believe he will dominating inside muay thai world like this.keep moving forward The General.
Can you make a video on Tenshin Nasukawa? You're one of the few people that can make awesome breakdowns that feel insightful yet movie-like
this is much more worthy then a guy who beat two muay thai legends out of their prime and got pieced up by one in their prime.
JH was my favorite fighter 3 yrs ago. After 2 defeats to Rodtang I thought he was gone for good. How wonderful to see him come back and win the Championship Belt. What a legend.
rodtang is not his normal weight class. JH has to go down alot to fight RT, which he obviously really struggled with
Beautiful journey. Awesome guy.
This is what sets this sport apart, haggerty was still a teen fighting the worlds best, boxing will forever be a crooked shady sport, Muay Thai fighters and most mma don’t get the recognition they deserve, absolute warrior I can’t state the respect I have for these men 💯👑
I swear u make the best videos GIVE US MORE ❤
For me I think he should give another chance to Nong-O like how Rodtang gave him the second chance though, but seems like he just want to get more belts. respect him though he is really a beast!
This man trained, trained, trained, trained, trained and than trained some more... very impressive indeed.
What impresses me a lot about Haggerty, he beats these Muay Thai legends with a ton of more experience than him. Reminds me of how Bazooka Joe would beat all these guys with way more experience. Just shows how high of a skill level these guys are!
What I mean by Haggerty having less experience… Nong-O has over 300+ pro fights, and Haggerty has only 25 pro fights. It’s really impressive seeing guys like Haggerty beat guys with 10x more experience than him!
Excellent video, excellent narration. It's motivational. Continue same excellent going. Keep it up Thanks.
The only difference between Rodtang and the guy this documentary is about. It's the mentality. Rodtang is fighting to the death in his mind, while the other guy is trying to win a fight. He would need to change his mind set to beat that guy. Good luck bro! 👍
I HAVE always loved watching the underdogs and Haggerty is one of the greatest for sure got to the top with a lot of hard work if you see this be very proud.
Beautiful destruction, Beautiful striking…. Seems like a great and humble human being (Jonathan Haggerty)
Epic video!
loved this
I train where he started out, which is crazy! John deserves everything that comes to him. Honestly a remarkable achievement beating Nong O.
I knew I was right to covet him as my favourite several years back. I hope to be just like him but more, and eventually meet him head to head in the ring.
Haggerty's first leg kick from O that "rocked him" probably hurt O like hell too, because he checked it very well.
