Hearts on Fire

Mauro Serra has been busy lately. He’s always fought top level competition whether it was Saiyok Pumpanmuang or Armen Petrosyan.  Not only did he just complete a fight with Buakaw at Thai Fight in Italy but he also assembled a fight card to be held November 24th in Italy. This one will have the main card composed of matches with Full Muay Thai rules and 5 rounds at 3 minutes each, which by my bias is the only way to have a Muay Thai fight. The match making looks good for the first Hearts on Fire promotional effort. Continue reading ‘Hearts on Fire Fight Night November 24th’

Diesellek Vs. F16 Ratchanon

There’s a few Diesellek’s out there.  This is not to be confused with the Diesellek of Top King who has fought at 72.5 kg.  This is the Diesellek who fought and defeated the French Lumpinee champion Damien Alamos. F16 is also a name that is found often among the top tier boxer of Lumpinee at 135lbs. I’ve seen snippets of this fight every where but not in its complete form.  Much thanks goes to youtube user  Chokedee for the upload of the fight. Continue reading ‘Diesellek Vs. F16 Ratchanon’

Jomhod Kiatadisak

Its been very busy times for Jomhod Kiatadisak lately.  Not only has Jomhod opened up a new gym closer to the Phuket, Thailand airport but he is preparing for a big fight against Somrak Kamsing who has placed a 3 million baht side bet on himself. To support Jomhod’s return to Lumpinee his camp has uploaded videos of Jomhod doing bag work and training.  To my eyes Jomhod does look very strong, agile and in fight condition. At the age of 42 if Jomhod has gotten soft I don’t see it. However training and fighting are two different things and he’ll have much to prove on the Lumpinee Stadium birthday show on the 7th of December.

The Sumalee Muay Thai Scholarship of 2013

Sumalee Scholarship

Sumalee Muay Thai is seeking a new gun to train at their Phuket, Thailand facility. Despite the knock on Phuket gyms as being ‘softer’ or more tourist friendly, Sumalee because of its location away from more crowded gyms has been able to maintain a decent level of quality with overall more serious students in attendance. In fact any one looking to board the party train to tourist debauchery should probably look else where.  It’s a serious camp. And its trainers are known for not only being able to communicate well in English but delivering one on one teaching with detail paid to developing techniques to make better Thaiboxers.
