Thanks to Rob Cox for posting the press clip, Poongsawat did a media meet and greet at a local muaythai gym. He did a few rounds of sparring and then transitioned to Thai pads as he gave the reporters a MuayThai demo. Poonsawat a former NakMuay (surprise, surprise) drew applause from the media with his display of flying knees, kicks and elbows.

Man, that was some sweet infighting by Poonsawat. I gotta learn how to close the distance like he does… Watching again… =)

Nopstar: I was yeah. The gym is “Bridgestone Muay Thai”. Got some pics of him and a video of him hitting the pads. It was mid-afternoon when he came in and I had to go back to work before the pic with all the lads above was taken. :( He was very nice though (but he had very limited English).

Gave away his shorts and t-shirt to two of our fighters which was also very decent. The applause for the Thai demo was mostly from the Nak Muays there. :) He still knows how to throw a knee and that’s for sure.

Very entertaining flight. Both guys just go at each other from the beginning. I didn’t think the fight would go on distance but neither did i expect the Irish to be dropped so abruptly. It’s interesting how Poonsawak just stalk his opponent the whole time–more like a NakMuay than a boxer. I guess it’s hard to get rid of an old habit.
