Review: 2013-03-30, another impressive performance and really tough fight between Brandon Rios and Mike Alvarado that fight toe-to-toe also in this rematch.

Review: 2013-03-16, we didn’t expected a war between Bradley and Provodnikov, because the American usually is not very aggressive, but this time the bout starts furiously. The performance of both boxers was outstanding: back-and-forth action, tough exchanges, one knockdown and everything you could want from a candidate for Fight of the Year 2013…or rather, there was something we didn’t like: the controversial ending!!! The undefeated Timothy Bradley (29-0-0, 12 KOs) entered as the No.3 welterweight in the world while Ruslan Provodnikov (22-1-0, 15 KOs) entered as the No.46 (after this fight Provodnikov is ranked as the No. 12).

Review: 2013-02-10, after a tactical opening round, as usual in muay thai, Fahpayab Kwaitonggym (red shorts) and Pedsenlek Rajanont start a real war with both fighters throwing bombs: punches, kicks, elbows. It’s unbelievable how thai fighters can eat powerful shots and still keep coming forward. Even though the pace slows down in the second part of the fight, both second and third rounds are astonishing, candidates for round of the year, and this is enough to be our favorite muay thai Fight of the Year so far, five stars! Unfortunately we don’t know the record of both fighters, we only found Fahpayab’s record, 39-12-0, but it is dated August 13, 2012. Fahpayab vs Pedsenlek was held at Channel 7 Stadium (Bangkok, Thailand). Watch the video!

In their first fight Salgado defeated Mendez by unanimous decision (September 10, 2011); this second bout is valid for the IBF super featherweight title (Salgado’s fourth defense). Watch the video!
Review: 2013-02-17, after a first boring round, Kritsana Erawan (red trunks) surprises Phetphatam Bermphudin knocking him down with a perfect right hook and trying to close the fight but the heart of a real warrior like Phetphatam never gives up and he starts to throw some vicious elbows… bringing the match to an awesome finish! With a more exciting first round the bout could have got five stars, but anyhow it is one of the best muay thai fights of 2013, four stars! Kritsana Erawan entered the fight with a record of 49-10-1 while Phetphatam Bermphudin had a record of 60-10-0. Kritsana vs Phetphatam was held at Channel 7 Stadium, Bangkok (Thailand).
