“Lamnamkhong” has a chance to come back and take revenge on old rival “Khunphon Noi” as he aims to make his form stronger than ever. At One Lumbini 42 I hope to make a name to remember as a boxer for Lao PDR.
“Lamnamkhong BS.Muay Thai”, an action fighter who made history as the first Lao boxer to fight in the ONE Lumbini ring, has a streak to continue appearing on the show. They will meet their old rival “Kun Phon Noi S. Sommai”, a 30-year-old Muay Thai fighter from Nakhon Si Thammarat. Those who hope to return to good form and collect the first winning points. They will meet under Muay Thai rules, 136 pounds, ONE Lumpini 42, this Friday, November 24, at the Lumpini Boxing Stadium (Ramindra).
For “Mekong River”, his childhood at home was poor. Thus he had to choose a career in boxing to earn money to support his family. He started training Muay Thai at the age of 8 before getting the opportunity to cross the border to fight in Thailand for the first time at the age of 16. Currently a BS. Training at Muay Thai Gym. And on October 20, ONE Lumpini 37 got a chance to make its debut.
A 22-year-old boxer from Savannahgate County. Samoy Noi T, a Thai boxer from Myanmar. He got off to a good start in his first fight by knocking out Busuan in just the first round. A bonus of 350,000 baht or approximately 200 million kip is up for grabs to win and create the feverish trend that will make ONE Lumbini so popular among Lao fighting game fans.
“Lamnamkhong” admits he had to adjust a bit to fight at ONE Lumbini for the first time, but the response he got back was beyond his wildest dreams. It turns out to be a very valuable experience that is hard to forget.
“Before coming to the fight at One Lumbini, I had to adjust a lot. Especially the fighting style requires more aggression. Completely different from boxing in its 5 round format. You should switch to a smaller 4 ounce boxing glove. Whichever side misses a hit first is entitled to immediate abandonment. You don’t have to see much of anything. Let’s move forward and fight together.
“I am very happy to have won my first tournament. Received a large sum of money and took it back to the family. I feel completely relaxed now. It completely changed my life. A Laotian like me never expected to come this far. It was a good experience to get a chance to fight in a big show like One Lumbini.
The next test is for “Lamnamkhong” to face his old rival “Khunphon Noi” who he previously lost on points in a 5 round rules fight on September 6th. So he hopes to come back and take full revenge. Plus the chance to collect bonuses on a regular basis.
“I’ve met Khun Phon Noi once before in a 5-round fight, and at that time, even though my body wasn’t right, I did my best in the ring. This was treated as a loss of points with dignity. After losing that time there are many things I need to bring back to improve and do better. This time we will meet in round 3. Whoever misses will be hit first. We will find out soon,” he said.
“This fight, if I get the 350,000 baht bonus again. As before, the money would be used to build a new house for the family. I am willing to continue to fight to make my home building dream come true. As for my ultimate goal, if there is an opportunity, I would like to win a contract with someone to fight in a championship.
