2012 best K-1 MUAY THAI fight – Monchailek vs Chartchay Kiatyongyuth – full fight Video

by

4_stars_k1_muay_thai_ranking_allthebestfights Review: 2012-08-19, the first round between Monchailek Sor. Sommai (red trunks) and Chartchay Kiatyongyuth has not been particularly exciting but in the second period both fighters pick up the pace and begin to throw brutal elbows till the end… This fight has not been as ferocious as the memorable Pidsanu vs Siragnern (five-stars-fight of 2012), but it deserves equally a great rating: four stars! Monchailek Sor. Sommai, 20 years old, entered the fight with a record of 52-13-0 while Chartchay Kiatyongyuth, 21 years old, had a record of 40-10-0.

4_stars_k1_muay_thai_ranking_allthebestfightsReview: 2012-09-09, great start from the first round and this is not very common in Thailand, but Kataphet Sor. Suradej (red trunks) seems confident of his powerful kicks. In the second period he continues his demolition work on his opponent, but Sipayak Sithom surprises him with a spectacular high kick at the end of the second round. The fight goes on and in the third round the relentless Kataphet starts with some dangerous elbows, but shortly after, the fight ends…one of the best knockouts of the year, four stars. Kataphet Sor. Suradej entered the fight with a record of 46-14-0 while Sipayak Sithom had a record of 48-14-1. Kataphet vs Sipayak was held at Channel 7 Stadium (Bangkok, Thailand). Watch the video!

We have rated the Olympic Freestyle wrestling Finals but they will not get in our ranking of the best mma fights of 2012.
