foty-2014-muay-thai-pornsanae-vs-manawwhan

Fight rated 4 stars by AllTheBestFights.comReview: 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!
