Many thanks to Mark for shooting this one over. I love seeing famous nakmuay’s in random Thai ads. As you know Somrak is fast approaching his fight with JCVD. It’s going to be a complete circus but honestly I can’t wait.
let’s just hope JCVD doesn’t have any delicious minty chocolate candies tucked away. For those of you who are new to MuayThai, that’s Somrak Khamsing, former Olympic Gold Medalist boxer and all around national hero. Somrak is know for his skills, Mae Mai MuayThai. In addition to being a MuayThai badass was also Sanchai’s former trainer.
His opponent, is none other than Khaosai Galaxy. Khaosai is another legendary figure in Thai sports. Khaosai is a member of the International boxing hall of fame, and is listed as no. 19 as Ring Magazines 100 greatest punchers of all time. Khaosai was a former WBA Champion, with a 49- 1 record, 43 of his wins coming by KO! Like a lot of champion thai boxers, Khaosai began his early life as a Nak Muay.

after seeing this, wouldn’t mind seeing khaosai lace ‘em up again either…he used to be famous for only eating one meal a day while in training for fights, and was also gunning/feenin’ for a fight w/ luisito espinosa, who beat the crap out of his bro khaokor in the late ’80′s….called out espinosa several times but to no avail…

I think he could have taken Espinosa- who was quite the puncher himself.

Before there was any Internet or easy acces to fights from foreign soil on American television, I would buy” Ring ” Magazine and always see this Khaosai Galaxy guy from Thailand listed on the Champions ranking and wonder just who the hell he was.There was also Sot Chitalada listed on the Rankings and a few othe Thai boxers listed.Now that ive seen him fight on Youtube I can see why he was always one of the Top fighters way back in the 80′s.
