Sanchai in America

January 21, 2010 by nopstar 

Props to Doug for the heads up! You nakmuay’s in Socal Cali are in for a treat.  Sanchai is coming to town!  I know it’s a trek for you guys in SF/Oak but it’s the doctor himself… for those of you who never seen him in action now’s your chance.  I can’t imagine he’s going to be coming through California with any great regularity so clear you calendars and get out there.

Props to thefighgame.tv for posting this…

Anyone from the Bay going to represent?

  2. twin on January 21st, 2010 7:53 pm

    I’ve been knowing about this for a couple of weeks now..
    And I am thrilled to know that he is coming down here….

    I am definitely going to be there.

  3. manant on January 21st, 2010 8:20 pm

    I wonder how many games of Footy(soccer)he’l have in preperation for this fight?!!haha

  4. manant on January 21st, 2010 8:24 pm

    Forgive my ignorance I dont know anything about Saenchais opponant or the guy fighting Kaoklai.Looked on youtube for a fight but got no hits except for some manga stuff?Anyone tell me (us)anything about them please?

  5. Ryan. on January 21st, 2010 8:57 pm

    cool, im going to thailand… and saenchais coming within an hour of my house.

  6. MuayThaiMex on January 21st, 2010 9:07 pm

    ROADTRIP!!

    Not sure how many of the regulars on here are from Cali but it would be nice to grab some beers at the fights..

  7. SE on January 21st, 2010 9:50 pm

    thats 40 mins away. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. FUCK YES.

    kru rex gonna be there too. so i can holla at him too. bryan dobler has his own gym in fontana. its very traditional he even used to come to smokers and do krabi kabong demos. wondering how he will do.

  8. SE on January 21st, 2010 9:51 pm

    im gonna cheer SO hard for sanchai and kaoklai. sanchai is arguably the best lb for lb but kaoklai is one of the tuffest nak muays i have seen. hes a gangster. when he KO’ed mighty mo that kinda defined muay thai for me.

  9. natemuaythaimaster on January 22nd, 2010 12:11 am

    Im down to grab some beers

  10. chris13 on January 22nd, 2010 1:05 am

    Dont really know about saenchai’s opponent.
    But Magnum Sakai is a nice guy, he used to be a decent fighter and took on some good challenge out of japan. He fought in S1 in thailand, faced mister Carnage (it was a carnage btw), recently fought Taei Kin in rise.

    Wish i could see this event

  11. SE on January 22nd, 2010 1:13 am

    im down to show people the man behind the asshole posts. hahaha

  12. jake on January 22nd, 2010 1:21 am

    this will help me get over the MP v FM fiasco

  15. djmattyd on January 22nd, 2010 2:10 am

    Fuck yes I am going to this!

  16. David Huerta on January 22nd, 2010 5:15 am

    I cant wait for this show! this is going to be great, its been a while since so cal gets a chance to see top thai fighters at there best. Tetsuya Yamato is one of the top japanese fighters right now! he is currently ranked 14th for the wbc muay thai and is the wmc world champion! he koed Kansaek last year here in so cal. Saenchai will be moving up in weight for this fight. check out Muaythaiassociationofamerica.com for more info!

  17. SE on January 22nd, 2010 5:32 am

    haha no more gay ass dennis warner?

  18. Loco on January 22nd, 2010 8:28 am

    Dats what Im talking about! This is gunna be a good fight. Im there!

  19. iMuayThai.com on January 22nd, 2010 9:49 am

    This is definitely going to be a mind-blowing event. I will cover the photography, and if you can’t make it there on March 14th, be sure to bookmark http://www.imuaythai.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80 for results and photos.

  20. manant on January 22nd, 2010 10:46 am

    Chris 13 and Dave Huerta – Thanks for the info guys, is there any fights of these 2 guys available on the net anywhere to watch do you know?Even with just this much knowledge on them I would still (respectfully) suggest Saenchai and Koaklai to win in any way they choose!!

  21. nopstar on January 22nd, 2010 5:43 pm

    Manant-

    “Even with just this much knowledge on them I would still (respectfully) suggest Saenchai and Koaklai to win in any way they choose!!”

    If Magnum has good hands Kaoklai is going to sleep. I’ve never seen another nakmuay who get’s caught as much… and still continues to fight with his hands down at his waist.

  22. manant on January 22nd, 2010 11:36 pm

    Funny you should say that Nop, youtubed that magnum guy and he does seem very boxy and hes big Not very tidy from what little I saw but powerful and pretty robust and in the fights I watched he looked very keen on winning?!!So you never know?

  23. SE on January 23rd, 2010 1:49 am

    theres no way in hell kaoklai is losing to a japanese fool in so cal.

    NOT. GONE. HAPPEN.

  24. David Huerta on January 23rd, 2010 2:27 am

    magnum sakai is a really tough opponent and has a good chance of beating kaoklai. he is naturally bigger and has fought full rules many times. you can see some of his fights on dailymotion.com check out his fight against Nathan “carnage”Corbett and you will be able to see how much heart this guy has. Nathan is one of the best in that weight class and has beat both kaoklai and magnum. saenchai is also going to have a tough fight but i think he should be able to win with all his experience and slickness.

  25. MUAYTHAI7 on January 23rd, 2010 3:12 am

    ive been hearing about this for some time now. im glad to see it finally happen. MT is going to be blowing up in socal soon. all the promoters have come outta the wordworks to split the dennis warner promotions “monopoly”. i am a student under Kru Bryan Dobler and Kru Rex. SE where do you train at?

  26. David Huerta on January 23rd, 2010 4:46 am

    im also excited to see bryan dobler fight against shane! i havent had a chance to see bryan fight live but ive seen some of his past fights.

  27. Ryan. on January 23rd, 2010 7:25 am

    SE yeahhh Rex will for sure be there. I was talking to him about these fights the other day. He now teaches at Brian dobblers gym if you didnt know.

    Man, wish i was going to this. I still havent gotten to watch Saenchai in person.

  28. Terapak on January 23rd, 2010 8:23 am

    Sanchai is one of my favorite Muay Thai fighter today

  29. manant on January 23rd, 2010 10:44 am

    Fairplay anyone has a punchers chance agaisnt Koaklai but I promise (Il eat my hat if this is untrue)I very much doubt Saenchai will have a hard fight with his guy.Saenchai rarely has a hard fight!!

    The fight will go as follows, Saenchai from round 1 saenchai will dance around doing all kinds of fancy shit and at the same time throw some frightening shots at a weirdly blistering pace that even though hes playing still hurt his opponant.He will also off balance Yamoto and thorw him around in multiple different ways.Either his opponant will be able to take this for 5 rounds or at some point he’l get hurt and not want to carry on.If hes as tough as is thought saenchi will just mess around putting on a great demonstration of fancy classical MT techniques and eke out an easy points victory to ensure people think hes stil beatable but look amazing,classy and gentlemanly enough to make promotors want to have him back!!!

    Still, amazing too watch

    “im down to show people the man behind the asshole posts” lol

  31. SE on January 23rd, 2010 9:30 pm

    i used to train with kru rex when he was in van nuys.

  32. Ryan. on January 24th, 2010 9:59 pm

    yeah i did too. now im still with kru neil at the new place and go visit Rex to get chicken wings haha.

  33. SE on January 25th, 2010 3:24 am

    yo ryan, how did you feel about the vibe there? i was cool to everyone i met. there were crazy egos there and a lot of ‘im letting you know youre in my house’ sparring sessions. like the more old school students had some sort of resentment from the newer ones. the sparring there was so wild and mostly never supervised, lmao. i met a lot of cool people ther e too though. ive also watched some crazy battles when kru rex just said ‘play around’. a lot of people dont know the meaning of ‘play around’ in that gym.

  34. Ryan. on January 25th, 2010 7:40 am

    I loved that gym, it had its moments, and had its certain people i didnt mind not being about. But, during my time there i felt like the people with the egos or attitude ended up not staying due to not being able to hang. I loved training with Kru Rex, Hes become like a father figure after the last years of knowing him.

  35. diimak on January 25th, 2010 10:11 am

    Interesting thoughts on these fights. I have to add, I just saw Kaoklai fight some tall lanky german dude at Thailand vs. Challenger…

    Kaoklai.. gotta love him.. was actually toying with the dude and showing some personality in the ring.. Kept smiling at the guy.. kind of a piss take.

    Here’s the thing.. round 3.. hands dropping.. and pretty much gassed. Rounds 4 and 5 not so hot. He still won, but just no gas in the later rounds. Ya gotta wonder how hard he trains any more.

    Don’t get me wrong, he is good, and entertaining. I am a fan. But if anyone has good hands and brings it hard for 5 rounds.. Yikes.

  36. MUAYTHAI7 on January 25th, 2010 6:50 pm

    rex is for sure like a father figure. i love training with him and just hangin at the gym to talk MT. his fighting fish are awesome too lol

  37. EmilylK on January 26th, 2010 1:34 pm

    Some people shouldn’t drop to read connecting to this post. Someone should notice the freelance writers in the internet.

  45. SE on February 9th, 2010 10:24 pm

  46. MUAYTHAI7 on February 9th, 2010 11:30 pm

    i think it will. kru bryan told me that the venue only holds 1800 people.

  47. MUAYTHAI7 on February 9th, 2010 11:31 pm

    and kristin shepard is a monster in the ring too. she beats me up from time to time at our sparring sessions. lookin forward to seeing her take care of business.

  48. CHinaman on February 10th, 2010 12:05 am

    go MALIA from F&F.

  49. SE on February 10th, 2010 12:29 am

  52. nopstar on February 10th, 2010 10:15 am

    David Huerta-

    Is this your show? if so can we get a press pass for my northern cali MMT contributor?

  53. MUAYTHAI7 on February 10th, 2010 8:30 pm

    yo SE bring your gear. have a lil fun at the gym. and CHinaman nothing but respect for malia and the fighers from F&F. Kristin still gonna put it down =)

  54. AtKIRSTEN on February 11th, 2010 12:42 am

    Various fields of life utilize lots of time, therefore why should we waste life time for business term paper creating? That’s better to utilize some experienced essay writing service to purchase the persuasive term paper from, I think.

  55. David Huerta on February 11th, 2010 6:49 am

    @ nopstar my trainer is setting up the show. hit me up on my email and i will see what he can do. kingtong715@sbcglobal.net
