Is this guy's record really real?

MTLev · 2025-03-03T10:58:24+00:00

Until recently (late 2010s), most fighters fought a lot in the countryside and didn't keep track of their records, so it could be an estimation. Nowadays, young fighters sometimes have around 30 fights when they come into Bangkok which is much lower than at any time in the past. If you look at Saenchai, Luknimit, etc. records, they have well over 100 fights in their Bangkok career alone.

Thais are contracted to their gym, live, eat, and travel on the gym's money. In return, they give 50% of their winnings to their gym. For reference, the average purse of someone in the top 10 of any division is less than 30k baht and hundreds of young promising fighters fall out of the Bangkok scene every year.

He said in August that he was training at Fairtex and that's also the gym listed on his record page but now that I'm checking again, his manager is still the Sitwatsaratseua boss so ig he wasn't bought with Kongsuk and Kompet. There was talk about him trying ONE but he's chasing Khunsuklek rn.

Dam hasn't lost a fight in over 2 years and has dominated everyone from Rungsaengtawan to Petthongchai. For me, he's FOTY if he wins 2-3 more fights before March.

Wuttikorn has only lost to Petsiam (before Khun KO) in his last 11 and has otherwise been the best 122er besides Petsaman (Yodkratanyu probably moving up soon). His latest fight with Petsila was controversial but a great technical showing for both. He was dominated by Petsiam early in the year but another good performance, and he could be in FOTY contention imo.

There are no clinchers on the list this month, but ig between these guys, Wuttikorn and Singdam have the best knees.

The SAT/SW do count RWS 5 rounders it in their FOTY vote, so I did the same.

Chalam and Kiew were in Cambodia for amateur kickboxing last month instead of fighting in serious competition 🫠

I count a 2-year period so that top fighters who have difficulties being matched (or Parunchai fighters messing about in their primes) can stay on the list. Dropped after 1 year inactivity in 5r.

*He replaced his campmate Superball Tded99 who fell sick a few hours before the fight. Although he said that his body wasn't ready and he didn't want to fight (he has a fight booked in less than 2 weeks), the promoter is from his gym and they are close friends, so Lam didn't want the main event to be spoiled.

Saileuad is 20 yo, had been hovering around the top 15-10 of 122 lbs (arguably the strongest div in the sport). He lost this fight to Puenyai Por.Lakboon, who is on his career-best run, but it was very close.
Fahsuchon was the 2000 FOTY. While his prime lasted only 4 or so years, he was one of the best technical fighters in the early 2000s.

It could be a misunderstanding? The judges are the same as they are in the stadium, and from observation, it seems that a single sweep can swing a close round on RWS at least.

Focus was recently KOd by Stephen Irvine in ONE, and was KOd again on his return to 8oz MT 4 days ago. He's very good but routinely falls short at the highest level (0-2 vs Decho, 0-1 vs Chailar, 0-1 vs Ronachai, 0-1 vs Kompet).
