Thanks to Dave Fox sending these and UPSmiles for taking the time to share. The fight I’ve been waiting for a long time… It’ pits last years champion Fabio Pinca and rising star against Kem Sitsongpeenong, one of the strongest nak muay’s around. It’s sort of crazy to think that these guys were training together under the same roof leading up to this bout…

Like what I said before, Kem and Buakaw are on a different level to Fabio! Fabio looked good against Mosab but Kem is way to experienced and his “ring IQ” is on a higher level. You can tell just by the way Kem avoided brawling with Fabio and kept it at a distance. He made Fabio play his game!
But good fight from them both, like I keep saying Fabio has the heart of a lion! And he is an inspiration to all the foreign NakMuay out there just on how far he has gotten in his career, gives me a reason to train that extra bit harder!

I honestly thought it was going to be closer then this… but Kem fought a very smart match. I agree with Josh, he didn’t get sucked into trading blows with Fabio, and turned it up a notch. Nice fight, congrats to Kem and the Sitsongpeenong team.

The fight wasn’t as closed as I would have wanted it to be but Khem definitely deserves that win. U can definitely tell that Khem is a few notches above Fabio….but Fabio is definitely one of the closest thing I have seen to real Muay Thai in the foreigners’ circle. I would love to see Buakaw vs Khem especially since it seems that everyone on the internet has this preconceived notion that Buakaw would have absolutely no chance….Well….either way, it would be a good fight (one that will NEVER happen)….U have as much a chance of seeing Buakaw vs Khem as u have of seeing Buakaw vs Yodseanklai. Hopefully I’m wrong.
