Orono and his trainer-photo by Rob Cox of muaythaifocus.com
Not to be confused with Orono Por Muang Ubon (the guy JWP fought), Orono Wor Petchpun is one of the best fighters in Thailand today.
Orono started Muay Thai at 15 years old, which by Thai standards is pretty late; but that clearly hasn't stopped him from reaching the top.
Holding wins over Yodsanklai (2 KOs!) and Buakao (2 decisions) (when they were both fighting at light weights) and Saenchai Sor Kingstar, he is a very crafty and famous fighter.
Orono is now ranked 7th at 130lbs in Lumpinee and 9th in all of Thailand.
He's a good name to know since he's fought and defeated so many great fighters.
Vitals:
DOB: August 22, 1978
Weight: 130-140 lbs (he seems to be moving up now)
Record (according to Wikipedia): 110 Wins (20 (T) KO's, 90 decisions), 41 Losses
Titles:
* WPMF World Muay Thai champion 140lb
* Lumpinee champion 130lb
* Thailand champion 130lb
* Thailand champion 126lb
* WMC Muay Thai World champion 122lb
