Buakaw Por. Pramuk was back in action this weekend in a fight that was only rumored last week. The former MAX kingpin competed at a Wu Ling Feng event in China on June 19, taking on Chinese K-1 MAX fighter Xu Yan (best known for his defeat of Nagashima last year).
19 июня Буакау Пор Прамук выступил на шоу Wu Ling Feng в Китае, где его оппонентом стал китаец Xu Yan, ветеран K-1 MAX. Буакав победил решением после трех раундов.
With Buakaw taking more small fights representing Muay Thai, chances are looking slim of seeing him in K-1 this year. MAX has already stated they will bring in Pajonsuk if Buakaw does not take part in this year’s tournament, and at this point, my bet is on Pajonsuk getting the call.
At the same Wu Ling Feng show, Thai fighter Saenchai sor Kingstar competed. One of the top pound for pound Muay Thai fighters on the planet, Saenchai took on an unknown opponent in sanda rules and was defeated. This marks two straight loses for Saenchai, who also lost to Petchmankong Petchfergus in Thailand earlier this month. That fight had some odd weight class issues, so neither fight is exactly a clean loss, but it’s still surprising to see him drop two in a row.
На том же шоу топовый таец Saenchai sor Kingstar выступил в бое по правилам саньды и проиграл. Это уже второе его поражение – первое ему нанес Petchmankong Petchfergus в этом месяце в Тайланде.
Finally, in other Muay Thai news, Khem Sitsongpeenong, last seen by international fans in his excellent fight with Giorgio Petrosyan at It’s Showtime’s Milan show this spring, competed in the K-1 MAX Explosion tournament in France this weekend. Khem walked away victorious, defeating Ludovic Millet and Abdallah Mabel, both via decision.
А еще Khem Sitsongpeenong, которого видели последний раз в отличном бою против Гиоргио Петросяна на It’s Showtime в Милане, выступил на K-1 MAX Explosion во Франции в прошедшие выходные. Кем взял турнир, а проиграли ему решениями Ludovic Millet и Abdallah Mabel.
