Review: 2014-02-22, if a woman had a similar reaction (look at the picture), probably the fight between Yodsanklai Fairtex and Keo Rumchong was not so friendly…Muay Thai is already one of the toughest sport in the world but if in addition the two fighters don’t use normal boxing gloves and they use just some rope around their hands (like in the ancient muay thai: “Kaad Chuek” or “Kard Chuek” style fight), the bout could be brutal and savage, and it was! Both fighters seem full of rage (look at what Rumchong tried to do when the first round had already finished…) and they exchanged shot for shot, mostly elbows, in one of the craziest and exciting fights we have ever seen: Yodsanklai Fairtex vs Keo Rumchong is a candidate for Fight of the Year 2014 and it gets five stars. Yodsanklai Fairtex entered this fight with a professional kickboxing record of 188-71-4 and he is ranked as the No.3 middleweight in the world while his opponent, Keo Rumchong from Cambodia, has an official record of 86-8-5. Yodsanklai comes off 11 consecutive wins after having suffered his last defeat in 2011 when he faced Artur Kyshenko (=Kyshenko vs Fairtex, fight rated 4 stars). Watch the video and rate this fight!
Review: 2014-02-22, simply one of the best knockouts of the year: Akifumi Shimoda vs Marvin Sonsona gets four stars. Akifumi Shimoda entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 28-3-2 (12 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.18 featherweight in the world, he suffered his last defeat in 2011 when he faced Rico Ramos losing also his WBA super bantamweight title (=Ramos vs Shimoda).
His opponent, Marvin Sonsona, has an official record of 17-1-1 (14 KOs=82%) and he entered as the No.52 in the same weight class, he is 23 years old (six years younger than Shimoda) and like the Japanese, he also won a world belt (WBO super flyweight title) in the past years but when he tried to move up in weight class to the super bantamweight division, he lost to Wilfredo Vazquez Jr (on February 27, 2010).

Review: 2014-02-22, fantastic performance, strength and determination by both fighters in a very exciting fight with 8 knockdowns: Tommy Coyle vs Daniel Brizuela is one of the best boxing fights of 2014 and it gets four stars (with a better referee and a more spectacular first part of the bout, it could have been a candidate for “Fight of the Year 2014”).
