Once again it was an action packed week over in Thailand. Over the course of the next few weeks there are some huge cards to look forward to. It never slows down and that's why Thailand's Muay Thai scene is the best fight scene in the world in my opinion.

My favorite fight this week was Sam-D Petchyindeeacademy vs. Wanchai Rambo-Esarn. Wanchai is an all action fighter that relentlessly comes forward with knees and punches and has some of the most heart in the game. Sam-D's great footwork and ring generalship were on full display in this fight. Wanchai was able to catch up at times and put together some big shots but that would be his undoing. Sam-D was timing counter elbows off Wanchai's punches and eventually found two elbows in a row that send Wanchai face first into the canvas, earning him a huge stoppage win.

Another very impressive stoppage was Pongmongkol K.T. Gym over Saengmorakot Tor. Manothumraksa. Saengmorakot is super tough so it's surprising to see him get stopped. However, it was a really impressive performance form Pongmongkol, who ended things with a vicious right straight to the body followed by a knee to the exact same spot that sealed the deal.

Delving more into this past week's stoppages, Thepnimit Sitmonchai stopped Kwanpet Sor. Suwanpakdee in true Sitmonchai fashion a series of devastating low kicks over the course of the fight, with the finish coming via a vicious uppercut. Definitely watch out for Thepnimit in the future.

Yuthachai Kiatpataraphan and Yodtuantong Petchyindeeacademy put on another great, grueling fight. These two have fought a few times before in similar battles. They're very evenly matched.
