The Champion of Champions this year will be held at the Montego Bay, Jamaica, on June 26, 2009 and will host bouts of top fighters from around the world including Thailand’s Contender Asia champion Yodsaenklai, two-time two time K-1 MAX winner Buakaw, and Lumpini and Rajadamnern champion Anuwat, according to Sakchai Tapsuwan, chairman of the Amateur Muaythai Association of Thailand (AMAT).
Also on the fight card are our very own Nathan “Carnage” Corbet, Eugene “Boom boom” Ekkelboom, John Wayne Parr and Angie Parr. This looks set to be an absolute ripper
Finally the Buakaw of old is almost back.
The first round he tried his punching game and in the last as you can see he started to kick and grapple finally.
Thanks again to mymuaythai.com for the footage
Saw this vid embedded on www.mymuaythai.com and had to put it up here.
This is the Buakaw of old. Fantastic to watch. I wish he’d go back to this style instead of trying to outbox everyone as he does now
Dane beecham won his over a 5 rounds.
Corbett won his fight against the much lighter but taller thai.
Corbett took him out with an elbow which took the thai to a count. When he got up Corbett just finished the job
Zidov was demolished by a body shot from Eli
Sean wright defeated the preacher with solid boxing skills
JWPs fight was apparently awesome. Any other fighter would have been knocked out by Askerov but Parr weathered the storm and went on to win on points.
Thanks to Scottya for the pics
