Anuwat Kaewsamrit vs. Santiparp Sitou-Ubon
August 29, 2008 by nopstar
What’s up Nak Muays?… it’s been sort of a crazy week, I’ve been meaning to spend more time on the blog. This thing called work keeps interfering… don’t they know this is important business?
Anyway, I leave you this weekend in the hands of Anuwat Kaewsamrit, aka “The Iron Hands of Siam” vs. Santiparp Sitou-Ubon. (brownie points if you can tell me what Santiparp’s ironic name means) This next clip was from the 22nd Eminent Air show at Lumpini. The other big fight on the card was Sagetdao Petchpayathai vs. Jomthong Chuwattana. I doubt we’ll be getting footage of that show. Anyone interested in the results can find them on MuayThaiFocus.com
For those of you who don’t have access to veoh you can watch it here.
I love watching Anuwat, still probably one of my favorite fighters of all time. Personally I think he’s slowing down… it seems he’s lost half a step. Like Bovy, I think he just taken too much damage. That shit is going to catch up with you sooner or later.
Is it me or did Anuwat’s kicks seem strange, even slightly unorthodox in this fight? His jab to the body followed by a hook with the same hand, is nasty. Hopefully I’ll get my passport/immigration issues sorted out soon, I’m really looking forward to seeing him beat up on Mosab Amrani at Slamm.
Hope you guys have an excellent weekend.
Santiparp…….isn’t that something like freedom or Liberty?
Santiparp means peace lol.
Hey Nop if u can get that clip of sagetdao that would be awesome. I trained with him and he’s one of my Isaan boys haha.
are you sure you want to go to slamm?
even tough i had a vip spot last year, i was kinda dissapointed by the fighters slamm picked. they are definetly marketing experts without any doubt spending money in fighters that will do anything to make their first step.
last year they made atleast some type of investment in souwer but this year is just playing catchup.
they crush our good reputation with godspeed like this.
i know all the dutch fighters, 1 even personal. and im telling you, bovy, seanchai, anuwat they all win WITHOUT any doubt!
we have alot more and alot better to offer! :( damn slamm
Speaking of taking too much damage: I just realized Anuwat is 10 years younger than me – to the day. That makes him… uh… relatively old (26) for a nak muay in Thailand, doesn’t it? (and wtf does that make me? Answer: “training hard for my next life”)
I wonder if and when he’ll take the recommended Muay Thai Superstar retirement and enjoy his golden years beating up jumpy Westerners for a living…
Nopstar… maybe he could be head trainer at your soon-to-be-opening gym in London?(coughcough!)
Just wondering, why is 26 old for a nak muay? Fighters in other sports (including kickboxing and boxing) seem to be in their prime in the late 20’s/early 30’s. Is it because the Thais start fighting when they’re kids?
Anuwatt certainly isn’t at his prime anymore, but he is still the man.
greghow, Thai guys have like 150+ fights, when they reach 25. Since MT is very tough, absorbing so many shots lead into injuries… this certainly slows you down and demotivates you I guess.
