Somrak vs Jonhod nr 2

The spring of 2013 is just around the corner now in our location up in the north of Europe, in about one month time we will start to see some grass popping up when the snow starts to smelt and the sun will shine more often. I will now really try to write more often as I got many responds on my e mail that people wish me to write more often and when I see that the number of readers increases every month it calls me to write more consistently

. 

This seventh of February it will be a big big day for MuayThai that will sure be remembered in the history books, when the Thai hero and legend Somrak Kamsing will challenge the mighty champion Jomhod for a rematch after Jomhod won the first historic fight between the 2 in the begining of December last year.

This match has made a boom in the Muaythai world and specially in Thailand cause this 2 fighters were superstars in the nineties and both of them had times when the dominated. Now after more then 10 years after their retirement they both did late last year a chocking comeback specially for the cause to face each other in the ring.

Not to mansion there was a five million Baht betting on the first fight 2.5 million each.

                                                                                                                              Famous legend Jean Claude Van Damme was up in Somraks the ring corner.

                                                                                             Jomhod looking strong after his morning run yet again very very strong and fit for fight

                                                                                        Jomhod the happy winner from the first meeting back in Dec 

Back in Sweden at our local gym we are training hard as usual making our best and aiming to the top.

The next test for the local Karlstad Muaythai fighters will be this Saturday 9 of Feb when they get a visit from some of Sweden’s best to challenge them at their home ground.

As many of you by now has sure seen or at least knows the results of the Muaythai finals in Falun Sweden from the 25^th of January. In 54kg Giang Hoang managed to win over our local Kalifen.

In 60kg yet again and not surprising the Rinkeby fighter Hamza Bogamza was crowned as champion for the second year in a row.  

In 67kg Karim Chorr showed good basic style and hard punches that helped him to win over Andy Nguyen after 5 hard rounds of war. Just before the decision I was thought maybe its a chance for Andy to be the winner as he was all over his opponent in the last round scoring with his knees and being not far away from knocking out Chorr witch had nothing left to offer with about 90 sec to go. But after an 8 count in the first round and an unnecessary point reduction by the man in charge in the ring it was to many points already dividing this 2 fighters.

Simon Ogolla representing VBC dominated the heavy weight fight of the evening and making sure the Champion belt will be on his by finishing of the fight be for time with some heavy punches to the body. To see this fights and more click on this link.http://www.svtplay.se/video/971691/25-1-13-00
