My Last 4 Fights With Commentary

Below is my most recent fight, fight #228, facing Hongmorakot Liangprasert, and experienced and tough opponent. Readers have been telling me that they love my fight commentary so I’ve started publishing my most recent fights with voiceover again, trying to give perspective on what I’m doing, and what it feels like for me. If you enjoy this, there are more commentary fights below too, including my fight vs World Champion Thanonchanok ( champ up 3 weight classes), and two successive fights I had vs the former Northern 112 lb champion Payayong, all with my commentary. Get caught up on my fights and my process. All in this post. You can also follow my process in real time, as a patron, study the techniques I’m studying as I train with legends and great krus all over Thailand documenting them in the Muay Thai Library project.

Giving Up 29 lbs! – Fight 228 vs Hongmorakot Liangprasert



This was a special fight for me because my parents were visiting, and facing a large, experienced opponent like this, as a clinch fighter is always a real challenge. Also, receiving my 200th stitch as a Muay Thai fighter is something of a milestone. Pretty much only John Wayne Parr and myself are distinguished for the great number of stitches we’ve taken over fight totals that reach past 100. A badge of honor. My chase of the all time fight total record of 470.

Fight 227 vs the World Champion Thanonchanok w/ commentary



This was an incredible fight for me. Thanonchanok is one of the highest IQ Thai female fighters ever. She held the WPMF World Champion belt at 48 kg for several years, and then held the 51 kg belt. In a few weeks she’s flying to Japan to go and try and take it back. It’s a huge thing to be fighting such an elite fighter, probably the most decorated Thai female fighter ever, and for her to have such a significant weight advantage, and for me to do well. She’s a benchmark fighter for me, someone I always admire and am a fan of.

2 Fights In Succession #225 and #226 vs Payayong



Such an instructive pair of fights because Payayong is a super smart opponent, Northern Champion at 112 lbs. These two fights occurred one after the other, and so provide really interesting lessons in adjustment and ringcraft. You can learn a lot of about Thai style scoring in this pair of fights as well. I was very fortunate to have the Muay Khao legend Langsuan in my corner in the 2nd fight, his presence and guidance made a big difference.
