Muay Thai hearts
This years Swedish Muay Thai championships will definatly be remeberd for its close and well fought fights, but most of all it will be remeberd for all of the emotions and fighter hearts that was shown. Down below you will find my fight reports from this great event.

In the main event of the evening we saw K-1 star Warren Stevelmans from Holland ( South Africa ) take on the Muay Thai superstar and WMC Champion Orono Won Petchpun from Thailand.



While making his way to the ring Orono spread joy and expectations around him as he took his time dancing and entertaining the crowd, Warren didn't look to impressed by Orono`s dancing and instead focused on warming up with some intense shadow boxing. Before the fight started Orono also showed us how a perfect Wai Kru is performed and a lot of people in the audience gave him standing ovations for it.



The fight starts at a rather slow pace, Orono scans Stevelmans every move and also controls the centre of the ring keeping Stevelmans at bay with front kicks and jabs. Stevelmans tries several times to close the gap with hard hooks and jab, lowkick combinations but Orono is constantly one step ahead of him countering with knees and kicks. The second round has a much higher pace and Stevelmans lands a hard hook combination, Orono answers back with boxing and knees from clinch. The fight progresses in the same way in the third and fourth round, with Stevelmans looking for an opening with his hard hooks and Orono scoring points with kicks and straight knees to the body. Knowing that he is probably behind on the scorecards Stevelmans throws everything at Orono in the fifth round, after a moment of clinching Stevelmans finds the gap in Orono`s defence and lands a perfect left right combination that shakes Orono and forces him up against the ropes. Stevelmans puts Orono under more pressure as he unleashes more of his hard hooks but thanks to experience and perfect timing Orono manages to survive the storm and lock up the attacks in clinch where he once again score points with the knees. After five hard and well fought rounds the unanimous decision win went to a very happy Orono Won Petchpun.

The fight between Fadi Merza from Austria and the Swede [/JoakimB] [B]"Yukay" Karlsson had been much debated even before it begun. Many critics had said that the 38 year old Joakim would not stand a chance against the more experienced and technical European and World champion Fadi Merza. The underdog situation is nothing new for Joakim and it was once again time for him to try and silence the critics.



With the crowd in his back Joakim opens up with some solid boxing, Merza answers with the same medicine combined with hard low kicks. There is a lot of tuff toe to toe boxing where Joakim fires away series of uppercuts and Merza put together combinations with left hooks and accurate right low kicks. As the bell rings to end the first round its apparent that Joakim`s legs a hurting badly. In the second round Joakim lands a beautiful right and gets Merza under pressure, Merza answers with a left jumping knee that connects to Joakim`s chin, both fighters seem shaken as they end up in more toe to toe action. Joakim looks very tired as the second round ends and his legs look stiff after receiving a lot of Merza`s perfect low kicks. The third and final round sees a tormented and exhausted Joakim fighting straight from the heart, Merza knows that Joakim`s legs are hurting and focus on more low kicks. When the crowd starts to cheer Joakim`s name he somehow once again finds the energy to attack and let his hands work the body and face of Fadi Merza. In the dying seconds of the fight Merza puts together more combos that passes Joakim`s guard. After three hard, technical and close rounds the fight went to the score cards. Winner by split decision, 2-1, Joakim, "Yuakay" Karlsson!

Fadi Merza did not seem totally satisfied with that decision, but he showed what a great fighter and person he is as he congratulated Joakim to the win, Joakim himself had once again silenced the critics thanks to his fighting spirit and Muay Thai heart.

Current -70 Kg Dutch champion Otmar Diagne told us during the press conference that the fight versus Kongpipop Petchyindee would be his biggest challenge so far in his career. Kongpipop who has more then three times as many fights under his belts then Otmar, the belts also happens to be two Lumpinee titles, two Thailand champion titles and one WBC World champion title. In other words a tuff challenge for the young and promising Dutchman but no way an impossible task.

Dancing seems to be an common interest for both Otmar and Kongpipop as they both showed of some groovy dance moves on the catwalk while entering the ring. When well in the ring we also saw some beautiful Wai Kru from Kongpipop.



Kongpipop knows how to control a fight and he does it well standing in the centre of the ring and defending his position with front kicks and jabs. Otmar doesn't seem to like Kongpipop`s bully tactics and works his way through the kicks and attacks with some nice rapid boxing and hard kicks of his own. In the second round Kongpipop shows his strength in the clinch as he tosses and trips Otmar from it, but Otmar is always quickly back on his feet and ready to get back in to the action. The third round is fought at a higher pace and Otmar lands a couple of hard hooks, but as Kongpipop locks up in clinch he also connects with a hard clinch knee that strikes Otmar over the nose. The referee halts the fight and is quick to take Otmar to the doctor as his noose is bleeding badly. It doesn't take long for the doctor to stop the fight, Otmar`s nose is probably broken and there is no way that the fight could continue. So the result is that Kongpipop gets another fine win to ad to his already 81 win record this time due to a third round doctor stoppage.
