Simon Marcus on Muay Thai Authority: The Fighting Prophet and fight with Kaoklai

Muay Thai Authority did an article on Simon Marcus, which details his entrance into Muay Thai and his ambitions in the sport. It's a pretty good read, and also a true story about how passion and drive can be used to change you for the better.

This is an example of someone who found purpose in a self directed dream. Chok Dee Bad bwoy

Also notable is Muay Thai Authority's report on Simon potentially fighting Kaoklai on Muay Thai day: http://www.muaythaiauthority.com/2012/02/kevin-ross-vs-coke-eminent-air-and.html
This will no doubt be a great fight, which will pit Simon against one of the older but most accomplished fighters at his weight.

What DO you do?

Exactly what is Moo Tie?

Weekend Fight Video: Damien Alamos vs Apisak KT

Kru Jen posted this fight on the facebook group. It features Damien Alamos, a young french fighter who has several WMPF world titles, but most importantly captured the Lumpinee stadium title at 140 lbs (probably the most important title in the world along with the Rajadamnern title).

This is one of his fights prior to becoming Lumpinee champ.

There are a few other top French fighters fighting the Thai circuits, like Antoine Siangboxing, and his lesser known (outside of Thailand) but veeeeery skilled brother Leo. Mehdi Zatout is another skilled French fighter who had competed in Thailand many times as a youngster, and now has a successful pro career.

Still, Damien might be one of the only to have actually won the coveted Lumpinee belt. Maybe in the future we'll see a Canadian prospect make it there...I have a couple in mind

Slamm to return this May

A news flash from Muaythaiislife.com: Slamm is back! For those who aren't in the know, Slamm is a Dutch promotion of full Muay Thai rules fights that are known to pit high level Thai fighters against high level European fighters.

Outside of Thailand, Eurpoean countries like France and the Netherlands have the largest pools of pro Muay Thai contenders fighting at a high level. Slamm has put on some crazy shows in the past, with headliners like Yodsanklai vs Andy Souwer and Kaoklai vs Tyrone Spong.

Get excited. These will be good fights.
