Here’s the clip a lot of us have been waiting for… Fabio Pinca 65kg vs. Sanchai Sinbi Muay Thai. 60kg I’m not sure these two are working off of the same script. The Harlem Globe Trotters are supposed to throw buckets of confetti and the Washington Generals are supposed to watch bewildered… they aren’t supposed to fight back…
Many thanks to Nakmuaybrixia for the upload.

Wow! what a load of shit! Saenchai landed way more strikes, especially kicks. I guess Fabio won if headbutts score you points hehehe….
January 24, 2012 at 1:52 am
wow fabio was such a fucking douche, even moreso than usual, this match.
wouldnt even touch gloves after headbutting or touch gloves after any douche move he did. whata fucking oaf, he never changes, maybe his gym can teach him some sportsmanship
January 24, 2012 at 8:51 am
Not touching gloves after the headbutt and trying to kick him while Saenchai’s gloves were still out was pretty fuckin dirty
January 24, 2012 at 1:58 am
at the same time i think saenchai should have done more. maybe he thought he barely scraped a win, but how many times does he do that? maybe a decisive one?
January 24, 2012 at 2:42 am
Shame on the decision, but I hope this will be Saenchai’s wakeup call…
January 24, 2012 at 2:44 am
he should totally retire
January 24, 2012 at 3:10 am
^^^
Retire!? what an idiot.
January 24, 2012 at 3:41 am
Youre not very bright are you?
January 24, 2012 at 5:28 am
Im smart enough to know a douche bag when I see one.
BTW,why are you so bitter and hateful? Did’nt you get hugged as a child.
January 24, 2012 at 3:49 am
Fabio certainly didn’t give the Doctor the respect he usually receives
January 24, 2012 at 6:13 am
lol
January 24, 2012 at 1:34 pm
What Rob Cox said about the saenchai/pinca fight on MuayThaiLand:
“Saenchai is fighting in 10 days time at Lumpini against F16 and has to make 130 pounds, as said this fight with Fabio at 145 and there is 1 million baht bet on the fight, this will definitely have had a bearing on how seriously he took the fight”
January 24, 2012 at 1:48 pm
Fabio Pinca switching to Lethwei in round 3, nice strategy
January 24, 2012 at 7:09 pm
I`d wish Petrosyan make 65 kg and teach Pinca a good lesson in his usual manner.
January 25, 2012 at 3:41 am
that would be very interesting, theres no way petro is walking through pinca in any way.
January 25, 2012 at 5:26 am
I was gonna say the same thing. Adrenalin seems to be underestimating Pinca’s skills. It would be a great match but it definitely wouldn’t be a slaughter.
January 25, 2012 at 10:11 am
Nope, I`m not understimating Pinca`s skill, and okey – that wouldn`t be a slaughter from Petro, but… if they meet my money is on Petro. It`s about style and character. Pinca is a raging kill-machine, but Petro got so much tactic and skill, and strong will, i`m pretty sure Petro will win. Because (imo) skill&tactic can defeat brutal meat.
January 25, 2012 at 11:04 am
again, you are wrong. dont let bias cloud your judgement. pinca is cocky but has all the skill to back it up. which is easy to see in his fights. very easy. to say that he is all ‘brutal meat’ really makes me question your validity.
January 24, 2012 at 8:32 pm
Saenchai definitely got robbed here. Usually enjoy watching Pinca but agree, he was even more douchey than usual here
January 24, 2012 at 8:34 pm
Hey! great fight many thanks for sharing it.
Regarding to the fight itself, although I like Pinca and I think he is a good fighter, SHAME ON HIM!! I really hate to see shuch a dirty behaviour on the ring. Fully agree with Nopstar; they seem to play different games, and in the end, barely (and arguably) winning an opponent 5 Kg lighter… I think that says much
Im rushing now to see our Abraham’s fight!! :-)
Cheers from Spain!
January 25, 2012 at 12:50 am
Well, what can I say.
Stupid judgement, a stupid Pinca and a lesson learned for Thais fighting abroad, no matter who you are, better be safe than sorry.
January 25, 2012 at 2:17 am
Saenchai vs F siphok…wow now thats an event..
January 25, 2012 at 2:18 am
BTW, Anyone seen anything on the black lion lately -Singdam. Looking for some training inspiration from him
January 25, 2012 at 5:28 am
I love Singdam’s knees!!! I definitely look up to him as well!!!!
January 25, 2012 at 3:39 am
i can only imagine what its like to spar with pinca…
January 25, 2012 at 6:15 pm
Imagine seeing training footage from top lumpinee fighters on f.e the heavybag or pads… Rare these days =( atleast new videos… Would like to see Kongsak kicking the pads, or sarm-a
January 26, 2012 at 3:42 am
Whilst I have been at Lookprabat I have been making quite a few videos of there top fighters training routines which I will put up on Youtube soon. Especially there 118lbs lumpinee champ Kaotam who’s a beast.
You’d be suprised on how lazy some of these world class fighters can be! Seriously, some of them don’t even train for a fight properly…
January 25, 2012 at 8:21 pm
was this modified rules?
January 25, 2012 at 10:13 pm
Petro would definitely beat Fabio Pinca. It would be a cool fight but Pinca would lose.
January 26, 2012 at 1:55 am
“Definitely”???? Ok…If u say so!!! Petchmongkon and Singmanee were supposed to definitely beat Pinca too! Sudsakorn was supposed to “definitely beat Pinca!!!! Anyway, Pinca and Petro fought in the past and Pinca lost a decision, it was good fight…but at their level nowadays for you to say that Petrosyan would “DEFINITELY” lose to Petrosyan leaves a lot to be said about ur judgement! Can Petrosyan beat Pinca?..Yes!….Can Pinca beat Petrosyan?…Yes!
January 25, 2012 at 11:21 pm
I like both of the fighters. In this fight, I think Saenchai should fight harder. Showing some of his moves such as hugging, pulling down your opponent do not catch the western judges’ eyes. of course in thailand, he can do that by taking the advantages of ring rules.. He always does.
In the part of Pinca, if he is bold and aggressive enough, he should use elbow, knee,front kicks consistently from the beginning of the fight.If we review all of Saenchai’s loses, he lost to aggressive fighters making him exhausted.
About Pinca vs Petro. in K=1 or Fight Code rules. I think Pinca will lose,although he is good at both attack and tactic. We can see the different btw the two fighters.
January 26, 2012 at 4:30 am
I am sorry but Petrosyan is on another level to pinca in my eyes anyway. It would be a good fight and definetly one to watch but Petrosyan is something else. I remember once when I was talking to Tim (the owner of Sitsongpeenong) about the fight between Kem and Petrosyan. Tim told me Petrosyan has the eye meaning he can predict an opponents strike before it happens not like in a psychic way lol but in a quick reaction way just like Samart Payakaroon. Like that signal you get in the brain when an opponets about to kick or punch you, just a little faster then the average fighter. I think Sarm-a is another fighter who has it with his matrix like reflexes. So I think he is a great fighter and under rated. He gave Buakaw a problem in there fight in 07 which was when Buakaw was at his peak and I don’t think Fabio could of ever done that!
January 26, 2012 at 10:22 am
i agree 100%. imo there is no possibility in this life that Pinca can beat Petrosyan, nobody can beat Petrosyan in k1. maaaybe only Kyshenko could, but just because he’s a natural 78kg punching beast with hunger for victory
January 26, 2012 at 1:41 pm
LOL kyshenkoe will get embarrassed, just like when petro did k1 and ran through everyone with a scratch on his face.
January 26, 2012 at 1:41 pm
*without a scratch on his face
January 26, 2012 at 4:10 pm
next week i’ll see Arthur fight here in italy: lemme watch and later i will tell you if he has chances against Petrosyan
January 27, 2012 at 9:16 am
I do agree about the eye!!!!! I do agree with Petrosyan being on another level to Pinca as well…Petro is on a K-1 Level……Pinca is on a Muay Thai level….Both have fought in the other’s style….but both are better at their respective art.
January 27, 2012 at 9:18 am
I’d have to also say that if my memory serves me right….Pinca fights at 147lbs…and Petro at 155lbs.
January 26, 2012 at 7:21 am
Petro v kyshenko scheduled for march 24 in Milan.. that will be a real cracker! petro, kyshenko, fabio.. all 3 would give each other a run for the money.. kyshenko came off with a win over yodsanklai. Fabio over Saenchai ( but fabio lost to Kem ) and Petro..well hes beaten fabio and kem ( also beaten sudsakorn ) but hey thats k1 rules but still a brilliant tactical fighter with lightening reflexes and he does have experience in MT Rules :)
January 26, 2012 at 7:24 am
I was just becoming a fan of fabio pinca.What I saw of him up to recent I thot he was a decent person with respect and honor but hes just pissed all over that now..
January 26, 2012 at 10:18 am
Jojo-
Unfortunately, I’ve got to agree with you on that…
January 27, 2012 at 9:21 am
hahahaha……Pinca was alwasy a prick though….u guys are acting all surprised!!!! We were just talking about that in a prior post when he fought Bovi. Pinca is a dick…he doesn’t like to touch gloves, he is a connoisseur in the art of dirty tactics…..but the dude also has skills…..we can’t deny that….neither can Petchmonkon….lol
January 28, 2012 at 9:46 am
I have to respectfully disagree . Personally I am sick of Sanchai’s showboating, especially when he fights abroad. It can be entertaining but dicking around from the start shows a lack of respect for your opponent, which is why I loved when Pinca caught the cartwheel kick and kicked him as he was coming down, that he wasn’t phased by his shuffle step. I will say that the headbutt was completely out of line. kicking someone right off the “glove touch” might seem dirty some of you but the Thais do it all the time. It shows you’re game.
If you respect yourself, your country, your gym and your trainers you are not going take Sanchai constantly putting his hand up in the clinch or jokingly kissing you. It will piss you off, and it disrespects the whole european muay thai scene. I would much rather someone who says “F you, lets fight” and the result? Sanchai fought on the back foot and Pinca won, deservedly. Sorry sanchai but if you don’t come to fight u deserve to lose. Conversely, I hate it when foreign fighters give Sanchai way too much respect, (Liam comes to mind)… it’s like they have accepted defeat before the fight began and are in there as fans, not fighters. I’m sorry but after Sanchais totally ungracious showboating and celebration, for Liam to drop to his knees and virtually kiss his feet was sickening.
But it’s like people’s eyes glaze over when they watch Sanchai, he can do no wrong.
January 28, 2012 at 2:07 pm
It does not matter if you like his style or not, in my opinion he fooled around too much, too.
Nevertheless, he should have won it scoringwise, being on the backfoot etc does not automatically mean that you will lose.
According to Liam Harrison, the judgement was just aweful and the judges had no idea of proper MuayThai scoring.
But of course, as a Thai fighting abroad you could expect the scoring to be far from being perfect, so better be save than sorry.
January 28, 2012 at 9:37 pm
Ok I’m less confident Pinca won this squarely having watched this again, that’s why I hate these three rounders. Over 5 I would think that Sanchai would turn it up a bit for a clear victory. I understand Sanchai is being cautious, with the size difference and an upcoming fight in Thailand, but I don’t discredit Fabio for his approach to this fight, particularly after being schooled by Sanchai in the past.
January 28, 2012 at 9:52 pm
I will concede that Saenchai should have had the victory here.
January 29, 2012 at 5:12 am
Both of you guys make some very valid points. But I honestly don’t see Seanchai’s behavior as showboating….I see it more as entertaining the crowd. I truthfully don’t think he means to put the fighter down in anyway (even though I would understand why ppl would think that he is”. Have u ever sparred with someone and u get moved by the other guys punches but looking at his eyes you can tell that he’s not really tryin to hurt you (his just heavy handed)???….and then u turn around and spar someone else who also hits you hard but looking at his face tensing up after every strike you realize that this dude is really trying to maliciously take your head off? I feel the same way about Seanchai….but I guess it’s all in the eye of the beholder.
January 26, 2012 at 8:53 am
Sorry SE I really don`t care what you ever think of me, of my validity etc. I suggest you to read Joshua1990`s comment, and to think a couple more times on Petrosyan`s superiority.
January 26, 2012 at 12:48 pm
are you basing your opinion on pinca’s fighting off of this fight only? Because this is a very poor representation of his overall skill, it’s saenchai he’s fighting, Petro is definitely more tactical and calm, but pinca is no slouch and also knows his way around a slick counter as well.
Also would this fight be in MuayThai rules or K-1 rules? Petrosyan clearly stated he’s only doing k-1 style fights from now on, indefinitely.
January 26, 2012 at 3:06 pm
I do not base my opinion just on this fight, seen many Pinca`s fights. Actually, i like his “thai” style, he`s really talented, he`s in the top list no dought, but i`m sure – Petro is superior, though i don`t really like Petro`s style. And, I think Petro is not calm at all, he just do not waste energy on raging. He`s working like a computer.. efficiently, and he has better reflexes, as Sitsongpeenong`s owner noticed.
January 26, 2012 at 5:50 pm
Kyshenko is the most monstrous 70kg fighter of all time….just by that virtue alone he would smash the tiny Pinca who would probably be 30 pounds lighter than him.
Yod fights at 73kg and he was dwarfed by Kyshenko.
For Petro vs Kyshenko…Skill wise clearly Petro but size is a big advantage and Kyshenko will have a big size and power edge..50/50 fight
January 27, 2012 at 9:10 am
I don’t think Kyshenko can touch Petro!…lol…Yod didn’t seem to be fighting like himself during his loss to Kyshenko. The “most monstrous 70kg fighter of all time” must have found a match because if memory serves me right Robin van Roosmalen Knocked him the hell out in the first round and Hinata middle kick damaged his ego. Putting him against tiny Pinca would be senseless though I do agree with you on that. If by “monstrous” however you meant “BIG IN SIZE for his weight class” then u might just be right, my friend!!!
January 27, 2012 at 9:01 pm
Yea when I said “monstrous” I mean huge…He would be a good sized 78kg fighter let alone a 70kg.
Yes Robin van Roosmalen did knock him out in the 1st round…Roosmalen is a very good strong fighter himself and he is fighting tomorrow against Murat Direcki….
Kyshenko would be absolutely huge compared to Pinca…Not a fair fight…He will be huge compared to Petro to.
January 28, 2012 at 7:50 am
Yea….u are right about the size difference. It would definitely be a factor…to be honest wit u, I have no idea how Kyshenko even makes it down to 70kg…that’s just insane. Back on track though….I watched the video again and Seanchai looks absolutely devastated after hearing the decision….I don’t think I’ve ever seen him on his knees that way. He definitely deserved the win.
January 29, 2012 at 9:28 pm
Watched the fight all over again, and I stand by what i said earlier, Saenchai won that fight and was robbed simply because he tried to play up to,and entertain the crowd that came out to see him.
You could have put Pinca, or any other human punching bag in the ring with him and the Fans would have still shown up and paid to see it.Pinca is good, but not at Saenchai Level.
