This was one of the most anticipated Muay Thai match ups in quite sometime. There was a bit of hype around this match, some of it due to the fact that Sarm A called Kongsak out in a series of clips on youtube. When I last checked the video had about 78,000 views… I think it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a Thai nak muay call another one out… can anyone think of another instance? I have a sneaking suspicion were going to be seeing a lot more.
I’m too surprised by the outcome, it was pretty tense throughout the whole bout, these guys were showing each other lots of respect, a proper feel out round. I was amazed by the speed of these guys, particularly Sarm A (Sarm is 3 in thai) so he’s (AAA) Keep an eye out for his kick on at 11:40. I’m used to seeing Kongsak, kicking the his opponent silly.
These guys are going definitely meeting again. As always, thanks to banana128 for the upload.

I think many of us have seen Yod call out Buakaw years back.

I normally dislike decisions like this, but I can see how the decision would’ve been justified in this fight. Personally i had Kongsak winning on pure aggression, but Sam A seemed to have an answer for everything he threw, often countering with two strikes.
Very high level technical match up.

Very nice fight. Pretty even match up. I had Sam A winning by a small margin.
