Who is the greatest Muay Thai king of this era? Anyone who has a certain understanding of Muay Thai on this issue will not hesitate to say a name - Saenchai P.k. Saenchaimuaythaigym. But at the age of 41, the jury is still out on who will be his successor, and Prajanchai P.K. Saenchaimuaythaigym may be one of the most promising candidates.
In the ONE 157 event on May 20, Prajanchai will play his own grassweight Muay Thai World Championship defense to meet the challenge of third-placed Joseph Lasiri.
Prajanchai was a disciple of Shanchai, and he also bore many similarities with his master. At his peak, Shanchai swept the entire Muay Thai world, winning a total of 5 Lunpini championships in 4 classes, and his most legendary battle was in the 2009 Lumpini and Canaan long boxing stadium jointly hosted the tournament, in five consecutive rounds of the Lumphini boxing champion Petchboonchu F.A. Group and canangon boxing champion Sagetdao Petpayathai, becoming the strongest.
Although Prajanchai did not have the feat of winning two major boxing championships in one night, he also won the 105-pound championship of Lumpini, the 112-pound championship and the Canaan Long 118-pound championship and 122-pound championship respectively, spanning the four levels of the two major boxing rings, which is enough to make Prajanchai a legendary fighter who can enter the history of Muay Thai.
In addition, in order to strengthen his boxing skills, He also crossed the professional boxing field and won five victories. Prajanchai also followed in the footsteps of his master and won all 3 battles in professional boxing, highlighting the comprehensiveness of his technique.
Unlike Good Guess, Prajan Guess today has more possibilities. For example, today's all-round rise of the ONE Championship has opened up a new top battlefield for the world's outstanding fighters, and Prajan guess naturally will not be absent.
In the "ONE: Race to the Battlefield" major fighting event last July, Prajanchai made his round cage debut, and in the first match, he played as a world champion challenger against the then grassweight kickboxing and Muay Thai double champion Sam Muay Thai. Sam-A Gaiyanghadao. In this battle, Prajan guessed that he did not insult the prestige of his master at all, and he knocked down the defending champion in the first leg, and finally won the gold belt. And what's even more surprising is that this has also become Sam The last battle of A's career, he retired from boxing.
In ONE 157, Prajanchai will usher in his first ONE World Championship defense, and his challenger Rushley has won four WMO World Championships from 2014 to 2017 and WMF, IFMA and other organizations in his amateur era. After entering the professional arena, he won the WBC Muay Thai World Championship in 2017 with Mohamed Bouchareb, and signed for the ONE Championship for the Round Cage the following year.
But Lashley's one-time championship journey didn't go well, with he was twice after signing four consecutive games, but just when he was almost on the verge of being terminated, he finally ushered in a very valuable victory. In this match, he fought three rounds with Hiroki Akimoto and won by a majority. Moreover, under the powerful attack of Rashley, Akimoto Haogui's left eye was beaten so bruised that he could hardly open it.
Later, it is well known that Akimoto Guilik Zhang Chenglong, Qiu Jianliang and former world champion Capitan Petchyindee Academy became the new king of the youngweight kickboxing. After that, Rushley defeated famous players such as Rocky Ogden and Asahi Shinagawa to rank third in the Muay Thai grassweight and win the championship challenge.
This match is an important battle for Prajanchai to consolidate his position, although the battle with The "shame and courage" Rashley is full of suspense, but if he can establish his absolute rule in the ONE Championship, it will undoubtedly be an important chip for him to become the successor of Shanchai.
