YODSAENKLAI FAIRTEX vs. ANDY SOUWER (FULL FIGHT)

Part I:

Part II:

Andy Souwer had an easy point victory against Yodsaenklai. It seems like Yod’s style is a bad matchup against Souwer. As usual, Yod kept throwing left kicks landing on the arms all the time. Keep in mind, this was under K-1 rules, so those kind of kicks don’t score points if blocked. Souwer pretty much controlled the rhythm of the fights.

WBC Muay Thai Event (March 1) was CANCELLED.

The commitee announced that due to state law of California the event had to be cancelledApparently the CSAC cancelled the events while the audience were waiting and fighters were getting ready to fight. The reason that I’ve heard that it was caused by insufficient number of paramedics team (I saw one ambulance and three paramedics outside.) What gives????

Interesting Article “Sityodtong Muay Thai Legacy”

Just found this new page at Sityodtong LA’s website “Sityodtong Muay Thai Legacy.” It’s basically the story about Kru Yodtong Senanan (or Yodthong Senanan), his influence and dedication to the art and sport of Muay Thai.

….”The significance of Muay Thai’s Kru Yodtong Senanan’s recent U.S. visit may have been lost to those unfamiliar with his celebrated contributions to the ancient art. But for students and trainers devoted to the art and sport of Muay Thai, his presence was treated with the kind of reverence usually reserved for dignitaries of international distinction.

So important is Kru Yodtong’s role in preserving the history culture that the Kingdom of Thailand recognized him as a “Superior Teacher of Muay Thai. ” With the proclamation issued directly from the Royal Family, Yodtong’s place of honor as a master, teacher and conservator of the sport will be forever documented in the annals of Thai history.” ……

Ginty Vrede, WBC Muay Thai Champion Died at the early age of 22

I can’t believe it. Vrede just died last night. He was in Vegas earlier this month and became the WBC heavyweight worldchamp after defeating Shane Del “Rocky” Rosario by TKO in round 1 as I mentioned in my earlier post. Yesterday he collapsed during sparring/training and was immediately brought to the hospital, but he didn’t survive. Vrede died at the early age of 22.  Rest in Peace, Ginty Vrede.
