Review: 2013-02-10, after a tactical opening round, as usual in muay thai, Fahpayab Kwaitonggym (red shorts) and Pedsenlek Rajanont start a real war with both fighters throwing bombs: punches, kicks, elbows. It’s unbelievable how thai fighters can eat powerful shots and still keep coming forward. Even though the pace slows down in the second part of the fight, both second and third rounds are astonishing, candidates for round of the year, and this is enough to be our favorite muay thai Fight of the Year so far, five stars! Unfortunately we don’t know the record of both fighters, we only found Fahpayab’s record, 39-12-0, but it is dated August 13, 2012. Fahpayab vs Pedsenlek was held at Channel 7 Stadium (Bangkok, Thailand). Watch the video!

Review: 2013-03-09, the much anticipated fight between Bernard Hopkins and Tavoris Cloud was really disappointing and boring: it gets only one star! The 48-year-old Bernard Hopkins ranked as the No.1 light heavyweight in the world, entered the fight with a record of 52-6-2 while the undefeated Tavoris Cloud had a record of 24-0-0 (Cloud is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since February 18, 2012 when he defeated Gabriel Campillo by a controversial decision; but it was one of the best boxing fights of 2012). Hopkins vs Cloud is valid for the IBF light heavyweight title (Cloud’s fifth defense). Watch the video!
