Anuwat in Wushu for First Asian Martial Arts Games

For some reason, somebody thought it appropriate to put bonafide Muay Thai champ Anuwat Kaewsamrit into an amateur Wushu tournament (First Asian Martial Arts Games). To the organizers of this event...SERIOUSLY? It may not be Muay Thai but Anuwat's a world class scary ass striker none the less.

Here's a brief video at what happened: http://news.mcot.net/sport/inside.php?value=bmlkPTM0MjkzJm50eXBlPWNsaXA=

If you don't know Anuwat, search him...he's basically the number one K.O. artist in recent Muay Thai history.


Who thought this guy should be fighting amateur Sanda guys? lol

Saenchai Sor Kingstar looking to leave Muaythai Scene in Thailand

I don't know how many of you actually keep up with the MT scene in Thailand, but for now I'll continue to post up news of interest from the East.



According to Muaymag.com, Saenchai Sor Kingstar (arguably the pound or pound best Muay Thai fighter in the world) is looking to quit fighting soon...at least at home.

He has expressed interest in picking up fights here and there overseas and, more interestingly, play some football (soccer) with the Muangthong Nongchok team in Bangkok

Details here: http://muaymag.com/saenchai-may-quit-muaythai-this-year-due-to-trouble-finding-opponents.html



To be quite honest, unless he starts giving up ridiculous amounts of weight, I think Saenchai will probably walk through most of his overseas opponents until he really starts getting too "over the hill" for fighting.

If you have never heard of Saenchai, go look him up! I posted a video or two of him on the blog too

Fighter Profile: Sangtiennoi Sor. Rungrot, the "Deadly Kisser"

Sangtiennoi Sor. Rungrot was one of the most famous fighters of his time. He was known as the "Deadly Kisser" for..um, kissing his opponents. Yeah...



He's gone on to fight past his prime against much younger opponents, and eventually moved on to training great fighters like Samkor and John Wayne Parr

To be honest, as a fan, I'm not incredibly impressed by Sangtiennoi compared to the other fighters of his era. I'm sure a lot of Muay Thai enthusiasts will crap on me for saying that. However, he is still one of the greatest, with precise strikes and a methodical fighting style.
