Cedric Doumbe announces his retirement from kickboxing just 5 minutes ago on Empire Fight.
"Kickboxing is done, normally my next fight should be in MMA"
Dominating LHW for nearly a decade gets you called a "chubby little fighter." Vakhitov went toe-to-toe with Simon Marcus when he was 20 years old lmao.
Katsuki Kitano 🇯🇵 with one of the coolest KOs I've ever seen, from March 2020 in NJKF.
The 135lbs WBC MT Japan and NJKF champion recently won a huge decision over Kosei Yamada (who was on an 11-fight win streak iirc) in RISE.
Petpanomrung Kiatmuu9 ⚪️ once again faced Kento Haraguchi ⚫️ and dominated him on the front foot for much of the fight to defend his GLORY Kickboxing title for the 8th time.
Khunsuklek Boomdeksian reaffirms his status as the P4P n°1 with his 31st win in a row, snapping top fighter Petchsiam Jor.Patreeya's 12-win streak with a jumping head kick in the third round.
Khunsuklek has been unbeaten since coming into the stadium scene 5 years ago.
7 years ago, Sittichai dominated prime Groenhart in one of his first kickboxing fights. Since then, he has gone on a 31-6 run, making him top 10 all-time in kickboxing.
He will face off against Mo Boutasaa 🇲🇦🇳🇱 (top Eurokick prospect) next, that is def a fight to look out for.
Rittewada 🔴 knocks out Ruslan Naghiyev 🔵 halfway into r1, earning himself 6 qualifying points in the 154 lbs RWS tournament, guranteeing himself a spot in the semi-finals.
Khunsuklek Boomdeksian has won arguably the biggest fight of his career in a dominant performance against Kumandoi Petcharoenvit for the Rajadamnern Stadium 118lb title.
With this win, Khunsuklek is now the best P4P fighter in the stadium circuit.
Sam-A vs Superlek fights were beautiful displays of skill from both. Superlek was styled on as he was only 17 here, but his speed was already apparent. Sam-A's knee intercepts tho 🥹
"Samart 2" Chatchai Paiseetong
He was one of the slickest fighters in the stadium circuit in the 90s. Unfortunately, Chatchai passed away in 2002, at 28 due to heart failure resulting from a stroke after a fight.
As former P4Per Petsiam Jor.Patreeya 🔴 sinks deeper into his slump, Petsangwan Sor.Samangarment 🔵 is finally coming into his own with one of the best KOs of the year.
Petsangwan was one of the best prospects of 2020 but has been mediocre against top opposition until now.
🇧🇷🇺🇦Alex Pereira was KOed only once in his Kickboxer career by a Ukrainian kickboxer back in 2016.
Later the kickboxer was suspended for 4 years for after testing positive for prohibited substances.
July 15, 2000 - Former FOTY candidate Singdam Or.Ukrit 🔴 and a surging Songkhla Kiatchaiyong 🔵 put on a beautiful technical battle in which Songkhla flipped the odds in the 4th with trips and a series of unanswered teeps for a big upset victory.
(Aug 23) Former FOTY Petsila Wor.Uracha 🔴 put on a strong performance against top 118er Kumandoi Petyindee 🔵, winning exchanges at all distances to take a clear decision.
Petsila is back in form with his third consecutive win while Kumandoi loses his third in a row.
Narak SJ.Tongprachin 🔵 knocked out top 126er Petnamngam V.K.Khaoyai 🔴 with a left overhand in r4 despite a scare earlier in the round. A big upset.
Narak was a top prospect in 2021-2022 but went on a 0-5-1 run once he reached the top level. He's now on a 2-1 run.
Saipet Yontarakit - the first foreign champion
Born in Puning, Guangdong, he fled China during WW2 and came to Thailand at 12 yo (1945). Saipet trained at the champion factory Yontharakit Gym and won the Rajadamnern Stadium 126 lbs title. He was a big draw in the 50s.
Rak Erawan fought a near-flawless fight against Nicolas Leite Silva earlier on ONE Lumpinee.
Probably one of the best 118ers in the sport, but he doesn't fit the brawling style of ONE.
Songpayak Boomdeksian 🔵 upsets Jaguar JakrayanMT 🔴 with a elbow KO at the opening of the 4th round! 1-0 Kiatpet.
Songpayak is on a 9-2 run, one of the top young fighters today.
Takeru went from a high school dropout with a future of fighting on Krush undercards to the best-paid kickboxer in the world. He is the main character.
Rest in peace to Morakot Sor.Thammarangsi. A legend of the late 80s to mid 90s, he fought Karuhat, Hippy (3-0!), Rambo, Chainoi, MuayEk, and many others.
He was rushed to the hospital and passed away last night at 55 years old.
A HUGE win for Wanchainoi ST.Hiewbangsaen 🔵 as he knocked down Kumandoi PetyindeeAcademy 🔴 in r3 and cruised to a decision win.
Just wow. How many people can say that they dropped Kumandoi? On a 11-1-1 run, he's clearly top 2 at 118lbs behind Khunsuklek and ahead of Petsila.
Samingdet Chor.Watcharin 🔴 hunting the cut against Pongchai Sor.Sawat 🔵 in 1998.
Samingdet was a popular action fighter in the 90s/2000s and won the Isuzu Cup that year against a relatively weak field (in hindsight).
Savvas Michael 🔵 and Samingdet Nor.Anuwatgym 🔴 put on an entertaining and competitive fight in which Samingdet took rounds 1, 3, and 5 to defend the Rajadamnern Stadium 135 lbs title.
On a 10-3-1 run, he sits at the top of the div in traditional MT alongside Lamnamoonlek.
Despite being knocked down with a left hook in r2, a strong effort late in r4 turned the odds for Ratchadet T.N.Muaythai 🔵, getting a comeback decision over the best brawler at 122 lbs Maisangkam Sor.Yingcharoenkanchang 🔴.
Can't see how Ratchadet won this, very controversial.
After being dominated by Yodnathi PhadungchaiMT's 🔵 elbows in r3, 19 yo Peck P.T.T.Tongtawee 🔴 landed a short elbow to drop Yodnathi early in r4 to win this year's Tiger Cement tournament, receiving a prize of 600k baht.
Peck is on a 6-fight win streak at CH7, very good run.
In their first fight, we saw his boxing style, in the second his kicking game, and now we see his knee-fighting game. Chalamchon SamartPayakaroongym 🔵 dominated the fight against Duan99 SJ.Tongprachin 🔴 to regain the Rajadamnern Stadium 105 lbs title.
He's now on a 9-1 run.
19 yo Jigsaw Sitthailand 🔴 went tooth and nail against a top-form Nuathoranee Jitmuangnon 🔵 and came out on top, snapping Nuathoranee's 6-fight win streak with a close decision.
Jigsaw is on a 7-2 run, now settling into the top 10 of a strong 112 lbs division.
19 yo Jitgsaw Sitthailand 🔵 put on a wonderful performance, opening a huge cut on veteran top fighter KaenUbon Por.Lakboon 🔴 in r3 and outfought him at all distances to capture the Rajadamnern 112 lbs title.
Jigsaw is on an 11-4 run with only losses to P4P-level fighters. Wow.
A great elbow sequence TKO by Songkhla Kiatchaiyong (2001). So much blood 😟
He was a top-ranker back in the day, a minor star at CH7 and in the S1 circuit. More recently, I think he was a trainer at TMT.
CH7 star Decho Singmawin 🔴 showed incredible durability against Petwichai Detdecho 🔵, weathering heavy knees in the 3rd and gradually taking over in the r4 and 5 to take a close decision.
He's on an excellent 6-2-1 run with 2 W's over Focus and L's to Petsamarn and Somraknoi.
In a immediate rematch, Petniwat Sor.Jaruwan 🔴 resolved to lock up Jomhodlek Nuisimunmuang 🔵 in the clinch and score with his kicks on the outside. Another controversial decision win for Petniwat, his third in a row.
Both are top prospects, Petniwat on a strong 6-2 run.
(August 15) 17 yo Captainteam Sitthailand 🔵 had a very good showing against top 118er Pangtor Por.Lakboon 🔴, but Pangtor's effort in r4 punctuated by 2 big elbows won the veteran the fight.
Captainteam has a lot of potential, already seriously challenging top fighters.
Top Jmuay prospect Iori Nakano (
@ioioio34
,
@warugaki9issei
) won by 2nd round body shot KO yesterday in Phuket. I believe that's his fourth knockout win in a row while training in Thailand.
He trains out of Dejdamrong's gym.
Despite struggling early on, top Petyindee prospect 16 yo Yokmongkol Kiatsongrit 🔴 took over in the 3rd round on the front foot and KOd Promlikhit Sitballthai 🔵 with knees and elbows.
Yokmongkol is on a decent 7-fight win streak and avenges his 2023 loss to Promlikhit.
Michael Savvas delivered the performance of his life in Surat Thani yesterday, outfighting Jom Parunchai with long knees and kicks. Jom narrowed the lead in the 4th but could not overcome Savvas.
Savvas is now on the best run of his career, beating a top fighter in his division.
Petnueng Petchmuaythai 🔵 came out in great form today, unexpectedly dropping Praewprao 🔴 with a cool sequence in r2 and forced a referee stoppage in r3.
Petnueng is on a very strong 8-3-2 run with only bad losses to Singdam (and robbed vs Domethong).
Top French Nak Muay 20 yo Elias Naji 🔴 put on a strong performance tonight against top Khmer fighter Lorn Panha 🔵 over three rounds for a decision victory (modified Khmer rules, 3 rounds, elbow pads)
Naji moves to a perfect 36-0.

Hercules Petsimuen 🔵 unexpectedly put on a very strong performance on the outside against Yodwicha 🔴 to convincingly win all three rounds.
While his current 9-3 run is quite underwhelming, he seems to have improved significantly since his loss against Tapaokaew.
2-2 into the 5th, Yothin FA Group drowned Chailar Por.Lakboon in the clinch, stabbing him with sharp knees to take the decisive round. Chailar had set the pace but Yothin took over once Chailar went on the backfoot.
At 31, Yothin captures the Rajadamnern Stadium 126 lbs title!
Former top fighter Fluknoi Kiatfalikhit comes back with a bang! He knocked out Chatpet P.K.Seanchai with an elbow in round 3.
Chatpet had just come back from a 17-month hiatus last December, and was a rising star in 2022 on an 8-1 run.
Last December, Dam Parunchai 🔵 took former FOTY candidate Fluknoi 🔴 to school at CH7. This was when he started to be considered a top fighter.
Just a year before he was a fading prospect on a 6-7 run until he came to Parunchai Gym (under Oley Kiatoneway).
October 1965 - Dejrit Ithianuchit ⚫️ TKO3 "The Mute" Weeradej Sor.Lukpitak ⚪️
Dejrit was the second-greatest fighter of the 60s, known for his pressure-fighting style. Weeradej was born mute and worked his way up to become a top fighter. His story is quite sad.
Top 102ers Monpraram 🔴 and Petsam Petchmuaythai 🔵 put on one of the year's best fights! Petsam started fast but couldn't keep the pace into the later rounds while Monpraram scored on the outside and tied him up inside for a razor-thin split dec to defend his CH7 102 lbs title.
Kaensak Sor.Ploenjit, the greatest anti-clinch fighter of all time, one of the best fighters of all time at his peak when he dominantly won FOTY twice in a row (1990-'91). This fight was against legendary knee fighter Lamnamoon.
After a 13-month hiatus, former top fighter Petphuthai Sitsarawatseua 🔴 returns on CH7, handily defeating veteran YodET Tded99 🔵 with his elbows and knees.
He took time off after getting KOd by Nakrob in his ONE debut, prior tp that, he was on an 8-1 run, L to Lamnamoonlek.
(Aug 15) After a rough r1, 18 yo Kiewthong Nuisimummuang 🔵 built a strong lead in r3, only for veteran top 126er Petnamnueng Tor.Surat 🔴 to even the odds in r4 for a decision draw.
Petnamnueng is on an 8-2-1 run, top 5 at 126 lbs and Kiewthong is on a 4-2-1 run, strong talent.
(June 14) Petrit P.K.Saenchai 🔵 completely outclassed Petbanrai Singmawin 🔴 with knees in the clinch and with teeps on the outside to take revenge and capture Petbanrai's CH7 112 lbs title.
Petrit is on a 7-3 run, n3 at 112 lbs behind Singdam and Laempo.
Having spent over 6 years near the top of multiple divisions, Kompatak Or.Atchariya finally got his first shot at a stadium title against Somraknoi Muayded789.
Kompatak seized the moment and mounted a dominant kicking showcase to capture the 130lbs Rajadamnern Stadium title.
(Yesterday) Comeback T.K.Yutthana 🔵 made an unsuccessful return to the stadium scene against Yodtong Or.Pimonsri 🔴 as Yodtong dominated the clinch in r3 and held onto the lead until the end.
Yodtong is on a 6-3-2 run against top competition.
Singpet Bor.Rungroj 🔴 and Jigsaw Sitthailand 🔵 put on an exciting and evenly-matched clinch fight where Jigsaw eked out the decision despite getting folded by Singpet's knees repeatedly.
Jigsaw is 6-1 in his last 7, his only loss was against top 112er Waewow.
November 7, 2020 - After being knocked down early in r1, Saoek 🔴 relentlessly chased Kumandoi 🔵 with elbows, opening 3 big cuts in r3 and 4 and won by doctor stoppage.
Saoek became the n2 122er behind Ronachai and would ultimately win the rivalry against Kumandoi 3-0-1.
Somraknoi Petyindee 🔴 knocked down and dominated Kiatpet standout Petwichai Sor.Chokmeechai 🔵 in r3. Despite showing heart by chasing until the end, Petwichai couldn't turn the odds, extending his losing streak.
Somraknoi is on a 13-3 run with losses to Chailar and Kompatak.
Dam Parunchai's 🔴shocking career revival continues as he dominated Petchaimet SJ.Tongprachin 🔵 with left kicks until he knocked out Petchaimet with the same kick in r3.
On an elite 8-fight win streak, he's top 2 at 140 lbs on paper today.
In a shocking turn of events, the incredibly inconsistent 19 yo Mek Parunchai 🔵 gets his revenge on CH7 star Ekalak Sor.Sommai 🔴 with a hellish knee in r2.
Mek is on a 4-4 run, having beaten and been beaten in turn by top fighters.
Yodyokpet Lukbunmee 🔴 was dominating the fight with kicks and had gotten a knockdown at the end of the second round, but through relentless pressure, 20-yo Yokpet Taipetchaburi 🇱🇦 🔵 came back with piercing body shots for a TKO win.
Yokpet adds another win to a strong 8-1 run.

Dani is unfortunately sitting in a dead division with a promoter that doesn't work with ONE (and he is far from dominant against his clincher peers), where the best 154ers are. If boxing-dominant fighters were dominating the sport, you'd be able to name some more, right?
(June 12) Former top fighter Kiew Parunchai 🔵 returned after 17 months out of the ring. He knocked down Methee S.S.Toipadriew 🔴 late in the 2nd and cruised to the end.
Not sure what's going on with Kiew. 2 fights in the past 3 years at 27 yo. He still looks good, though.
(Aug 15) Dokmaipa Tor.Tanthai 🔴 knocked down fellow rising star Petbuangkan Rongrienkelakorat 🔵 in r3 with a well-timed right hook and ended the fight moments later.
On a 4-1 run with back-to-back KOs over top talent, the 19 yo looks to break into the top 5 of 118 lbs.
@femalekissinger
Ho Chi Minh's body was also embalmed (inspired by Soviets) and is on display at the square where he declared VN's independence in 1945. HCM would hate it too, he wanted his ashes to be spread throughout the country iirc.
Yodkla Por.Wisetgym 🔵 put on a strong effort late in r4 to the the decision over Teerapong Kraisirapop 🔴 despite being dominated in clinch.
Another favorable decision for a Petyindee Gym fighter...
Yodkla is on a 4-1-1 run, Teerapong on a 1-4 run against top opposition.
21 yo Jay Snoddon (
@jk1snoddon
) impressed in his RISE debut against Norio Yokoyama, coming out on top in a firefight. An accidental elbow was counted as a knockdown in r2 but it was an easy win regardless.
(Yesterday) 17 yo Seuachan Sor.Issarachot 🔴 completely shut down Petyindee prospect Kompet SitjatikUbon 🔵 with his length, outpunching, kicking, and kneeing him at will.
Seuachan is now on a decent 4-fight win streak and is one of Palangmai's best prospects at 112 lbs.
Despite being knocked down in r2 by the infamous lead kick of Kompatak 🔴, Chalam Parunchai 🔵 was able to win rounds 1, 3, 4, and 5 to take a controversial decision for the Rajadamnern Stadium 130 lbs title.
Chalam has been unbeaten in his last 13 fights over nearly 5 years.
March 24, 2001 - Pinsinchai Gym standout SuperK Singthakam 🔴 took on future FOTY Wuttidet Lukprabat 🔵 and won a razor-thin decision in a great fight at Omnoi Stadium.
SuperK's biggest achievement was placing 3rd in a star-studded Isuzu cup, won by Saenchernglek against Pokaew.
