20 Great Muay Thai fights from the past 20 or so years

I made this a while back at a different forum, but it dropped off the page since most of the fuckers were UFC sheep, and would rather watch Chris fucking Leben before watching legitimate striking. I see there are some passionate fight fans here, so maybe you guys would enjoy this.

#20: From 2005, Nathan "Carnage" Corbett takes on K-1 veteran Magnum Sakai for the WBC Cruiserweight Championship. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5pvkz_nathan-corbett-vs-magnum-sakai_sport"

#19.5: This fight takes place sometime in the mid 90's. Two legends in this one, Therdkiat Settepitak takes on Jongsanan Fairtex. Not necessarily a great fight, but the way Therdkiat sets up the finish is amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM6BO0jgZKo

#19: Another fight from the mid 90's. Stadium champion Jaroenthong Kiatbanchong takes on a fairly unknown European fighter, Andrea. Probably my favorite knockout of all time. Perfection! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTpDSs2R-ac

#18: Dutch legend Peter Smit travels to Thailand to take on the much smaller Changphuak Kiatsongrit. Fight is from the early 90's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAYkFscC77o

#17: 2 youngsters here. Both fighters are somewhere from 16-18 years old. You'll recognize one of them. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3ohqb_yodsanklai-vs-nopparat-lumpini_extreme

#16: This fight is only a few weeks old. 2 unknowns, but one hell of a fight. http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/NFKelqV0f4c/

#15: Another fight between 2 teenagers. Samkor Kiatmonthep vs. Pichitnoi Sitbangrajan. This was WAY before Samkor became a legend, and his style of fighting was completely different back then. It really doesn't even look like Samkor, but it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKhxShe0RXU

#14: A lot at stake in this fight. Not only is it a championship fight at Lumpinee stadium, but the winner of this fight becomes the 2008 Fighter of the Year in Thailand. Saecnhai Sor Kingstar vs. Petchboonchu F.A Group. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHuOZlj_PJ4

#13: The man who is largely responsible for the success of Buakaw, Namsaknoi Yuttakarnkamtorn takes on fellow super star Attachai Por Samranchai. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-XfzLURC4A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGotjivPYkQ&feature=related

#12: One of the most popular fighters from 90's was Pongsiri "Rambo" Por Rumrudee. I believe this fight was at the annual king's birthday show which in Thailand. Somewhere around 250,000 fans were on hand. http://www.megavideo.com/?v=DTRKKUQ9

#11: This fight is equivalent to Muay Thai as Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya was to boxing, or GSP vs. Penn in MMA. Samkor Kiatmonthep the much younger fighter goes up in weight to fight the much older Sangtiennoi Sor Rungrot who's better days are behind him. None the less Sangtiennoi is game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP_CGh0XZWc

#10: Another huge fight from the 90's. Orono Por Muangubon was the 1994 Fighter of the Year in Thailand. Den Muangsurin was a multiple time champion at both Lumpinee and Ratchadamnern Stadiums. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1srmx_orono-por-muang-ubon-vs-den-muangsu_sport

#9:"The new Rambo" Bovy Sor Udomsorn has built up quite the reputation in Thailand. Win or lose, the guy brings it every time. This imo is his best fight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2LCTdOMFbU&feature=related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQricqIemC4&feature=related

#8: Didn't think Bovy was exciting? Well get used to this next name. Narunat Chengzimaewgym. The next 3 fights all involve him, and they all took place in 2008. Might be the most exciting fighter in the world right now, not just in Muay Thai, but in any combat sport. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xa4h1p_kinsaeng-manoprovit-vs-narunath_sport

#7: Another fight from Narunat. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6b576_naruenart-chengsimewgym-vs-maneedan

#6: Yep its Narunat again. http://www.zoopy.com/video/9hz/august-8-2008-channel-7-fight-4-ko

#5: Finally a Ramon Dekkers fight. In this fight he takes on Sakmongkol Sitnchuchoke. Sakmongkol was just 17. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP8HtTJu4dU

#4.5: Ramon Dekkers vs. Coban Lookchaomaesaitong #1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT8I4gux5c8 I really can't decide what is better, the KO, or the celebration dance.:D Time had passed and Dekkers was making a name for himself in the sport, and this is one of the fights that made him uber popular. #2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOFJMlqJSi8 Now that they each had 1 win and 1 KO against each other this is #4.5 and the 3rd fight between the two. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2tim1_ramon-dekkers-coban-par-youchoc_sport

#4: Another War from Attachai Por Samranchai. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x12cko_attachai-por-samranchai-vs-kunpinit_sport

#3: Neither of these two fighters are particularly special fighters, but this fight is special. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo2oSZmsIBg

#2: In 2002 Singdam Kiatmoo9 was the best fighter in Thailand, he was a unanimous choice for Fighter of the Year. Just weeks after being awarded FOTY he happened to run into a fighter named Anuwat, and here's what happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuIrHFGbKZQ After that KO, Anuwat was now the man. When it was time for a new FOTY it was awarded to Anuwat. During all of this Singdam was also winning his fights, and he wanted a rematch. 2004 rolled around and the still had not happened. Singdam claimed that Anuwat knew he was lucky the first time around, and that he was afraid of Singdam. Time continued to pass, and they both kept winning. Finally the fight had been set up, and there was a lot on the line. Singdam 02 FOTY, Anuwat 03 FOTY, and the rematch was to determine the 04 FOTY. Here is what happened https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDoxGinCnZY

#1: "The War" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3vrziWRjwY
