Review: 2014-04-19, Thai fighters usually use the first round to study their opponent, but this is not the case…both Pornsanae and Manawwhan start strong throwing heavy kicks and we don’t understand what their legs are made of: bones, wood or iron?!? Why champions like Anderson Silva (=Weidman vs Silva 2) or Tyrone Spong (=Spong vs Saki 2) have broken their legs with just one kick while these two Thai boxers kick each other furiously without getting hurt?!?! Anyway, this battle was one of the best muay thai fights of 2014 and it gets four stars! Pornsanae Sitmonchai (red trunks) entered this fight with a professional kickboxing record of 144-44-1 (or 109-52-1, wikipedia’s record) and he was ranked as the No.8 featherweight in the world in May 2013 (before his last 5 stars fight we posted: Pornsanae vs Saksuriya) but after that bout he lost five out of his last eight fights.
Unfortunately we don’t know the record of his opponent, Manawwhan Sittongpetchyindee (blue trunks), but he is ranked as the No.2 featherweight at Lumpinee Stadium in March 2014! Pornsanae vs Manawwhan is valid for the Omnoi Super Featherweight title. Watch the video and rate this fight!
