Martial arts fans who know Muay Thai must have heard of the names Yodsanklai Fairtex and SAENCHAI PkSaenchaimuaythaigym. The two fighters are not only legends in the field of Muay Thai, but also represent two very different styles of Muay Thai. Today, Yasan Clay has officially announced his retirement, and Shanchai is 42 years old, reaching the end of his career, but their disciples and successors are in their current years.
In the "ONE: Strike Hard" major event on January 14, Saemapetch, known as "Yasang Clay's successor", met tawanchai, and two famous young players will decide who is the real new king of Muay Thai.
Samapage comes from the famous PhilTheth Boxing Gym, he is also another potential star cultivated by PhilTheays after Yasan Clay, he has now played an impressive record of 123 wins, 17 losses and 1 draw, and after signing the ONE Championship, he won the championship challenge with a wave of three consecutive wins. Although Samapage lost to super overlord Nong-O Gaiyanghadao in the championship match, his tough style and tenacious will left a deep impression on everyone.
After losing the title battle, Samapage beat Rodlek and Kulabdam Sor. Jor. Piek Uthai) two legendary kings, welcomed by The Lumpini champion Littewada Sitthikul. Surprisingly, facing the opponent of the debut ONE Championship, Samapage was defeated by TKO in the second leg.
Sampeperch inherited Yasan Clay's more traditional, tougher, and more aggressive style, but the young man lacked Yasan Clay's experience. I believe that the two games lost in the ONE Championship will enable Samapage to realize his shortcomings and complete his growth and transformation.
Davanchai is only 23 years old, but he won the title of the best boxer in the 2018 Lumpini Boxing Stadium at the age of 19, winning 125 wins, 31 losses and 2 draws in his career, and the longest winning streak reached 11 games.
After signing for the ONE Championship, Dawanchai made his debut with WBC and ISKA Muay Thai champion Sean Clancy. The Second World War ensued the Muay Thai king Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong, who ruled for an entire era. In the battle between the new and old Muay Thai kings, Dawanchai had an absolute advantage in the first half of the game, but as the game progressed, Sidiko's experience helped him complete the reversal, and finally Dawanchai lost the game with a very slight disadvantage and disagreement. This battle also allowed everyone to see that Dawanchai's ability was comparable to that of the Heavenly King Sittichai.
Dawanchai is a proud disciple of Shanchai, who is known for his extremely agile style, and although Davanchai's style tends to be more traditional Muay Thai, his reaction speed and agile style are in line with Shanchai.
The illustrious background of Samapage and Dawanchai makes this match a struggle between the successors of two legendary boxers in the eyes of fans, and for themselves, it is a duel between the strongest Muay Thai king of the new generation. Can they live up to the glory of the legendary division commander? In this narrow road encounter in the hard battle, what kind of performance will be presented? ONE: Strike January 14 will give us the answer.
