Card: Lumpinee Stadium 60th Birthday – MuangThai, Panpayak, Yodpanomrung, and many more – 9/12/2016
This weekend will be a truly amazing one for the Muay Thai fans all over the world and in Thailand as well, as Lumpinee Stadium is celebrating its 60th birthday in a stunning fashion. The usual Lumpinee Champions Show is going down this Friday the 9th December 2016 and as always it will feature great names and exciting match-ups, with 2 Lumpinee and 3 Thailand titles on the line.
The main event will see the newly crowned ‘Lumpinee Stadium fighter of the year’, elbow KO artist, Muangthai PKSaenchaiMT against current Channel 7 Stadium Champion, Yodpanomrung Jitmuangnon. Both fighters have had a great year and to finalize it they will battle for the 140 pounds Thailand belt (agreed fight weight is 136lbs).
The co-main event will be the one a rematch between Petchmorakot Petchyindee and Manasak Sor Jor LekMuangnon, the pair fought last September and Manasak had the upper hand. This one will surely be another exciting fight as there is a great rivalry between the two, since Petchmorrakot represents Petchyindee promotions and Manasak represents Kiatpetch promotions, which is also the one organizing this event. Those are the 2 top promotions in Thailand.
Another amazing match-up will be the one between ‘Sport Writers Fighters of the Year’ and current Lumpinee Stadium champion at 126 pounds, Panpayak Jitmuangnon against current Channel 7 Stadium champion Rodlek Jaotalaytong. Rodlek had a great year, beating some big names and now he gets the chance to fight one of the strongest and most confident fighters around at the moment. Panpayak will give Rodlek a 2 pounds advantage (127 and 129lbs).
Another interesting one will be the come back to the Muay Thai stages of Mongkolchai KwaythongGym, former Channel 7 & Lumpinee champion who has been fighting amateur boxing for the Royal Thai Army. He will face Prajanchai PKSaenchaiMT, who hasn’t had a great year, so in our opinion the promoters thought an opponent with not such great momentum would be better to give a chance to Mongkholchai to shake off his Muay Thai ‘ring rust’.
Another re-match on this card will be the one between current 140 pounds Lumpinee Stadium champion, Chamuaktong FighterMuayThai and former 135 pounds Lumpinee champion Chujaroen DabranSarakam. The two fought last September and Chamuaktong was the winner on points.
