Kem Sitsongpeenong vs Fabio Pinca

Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoS-oaIDeTQ



Fabio has fought many big names, including Attachai Fairtex, Bovy Sor Udomson and...Saenchai Sor Kingstar.

I've mentioned Kem before. He is one of the rising stars in Thailand at 67-70 kg. Like most of the internationally well known Thai's, Kem made his way up at the lighter weights in Thailand and then started picking up more fights at the internationally popular 70kg weight class.

I don't know what weight this fight was at though. I was under the impression Fabio was lighter than Kem

Here's Kaew now with Lerdsila. This was obviously taken from the crowd, but you still get a decent view of the action. Enjoy this back and forth technical bout!

*Spoiler*
I don't see the lil guy winning very often, but damn he has sick skills. Ah well...

Lerdsila Chumpairtour vs Yodbuangarm Lookbaanyai (Video)

Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0BhLsWzLsc


Lerdsilla Chumpairtour is a tricky little bugger, and a former Raja champ. Of the modern fighters out there, he has become one of my favourite. If you think you've seen fighters skilled at slipping, you haven't seen Lerdsila. No one lands a head kick on this guy. Lerdsila also has a very mean teep. He is very much a counter fighter.

He also comes in smaller than most of his opponents (or at least shorter)...always a plus in my book.

Yodbuangarm is currently ranked pretty high in Lumpinee and Thailand overall; just a bit higher than Lertsila. Both are top dogs on the Thai circuits right now.

For those of you new to watching MT, you may not be able to appreciate the pace and the strength of the techniques going on here...but trust me, there's a ton of skill and timing being applied in this fight. Those of you who have been with us for a while, enjoy!
