Born to a working class family in rural New York I grew up working like a dog and drinking Natural light in the woods. After a brief stint attempting to escape the poverty of employment via university I gave up on escaping the grind and moved to sunny California where the burritos are as generous as the weather. I work in the service industry slinging booze and food.
I got into Muay Thai as a recreational activity. I saw an interclub fight and decided to try it out, everyone has to test their mettle somehow. A few fights and a year later I was in Thailand training, and fighting. I haven’t quit stepping into the ring since. I currently live in West Oakland and balance my time blocking punches with my head with attempting to prevent brain deterioration through writing, studying Thai; language, culture and history, and going to wild dance parties with my friends.

yeah this fight goes hard..
i think that the epics rungravee vs seooui (first fight) & kem vs sudsakorn (second fight) are badass too

Wowser, I still cant believe either of them answered the 8 count and came back fighting the way they did. Wow..its only in the rings of muay thai that I have seen such tenacity. These boys sure put on a show, couldnt tell you who was gonna win that..never expected that outcome!

I just watched this fight again… it’s got to be one of the craziest fights I’ve seen in a while. The back and forth reminds me of the pro wrestling matches watched in my childhood.
