Another All-Female Tournament Put On Hold

Posted on January 18, 2018August 28, 2019 By Angela Chang

On December 9, Korat was home to “Ladies Fight Thailand”, a promotion with almost all females on the card. There was a title fight (WMC @ 40 kg) as well as the kick-off of the featured 8-woman tournament @ 53 kg.

The semi-finals of the tournament were supposed to be held on January 25th, but problems have arised, according to the promoter. Not even a month after the finals of the World Muay Thai Angels tournament, which was infamous for being poorly organized and resulted in the loss of two of the semifinalists, Ladies Fight Thailand seems to be having similar issues.

The promoter, who goes by the nickname Noi, griped that because he has trouble finding sponsors for the show, he has trouble setting it up to begin with, and doesn’t have money to pay the fighters at the moment. With no date in sight in the near future for the second installment of the tournament, it gives the fighters a resentful echo of Muay Thai Angels.

The favored contestant, Wondergirl Lookjaroonsak, won her match in December with a controversial decision. The promoter trains Wondergirl, so there was a lot of speculation if she truly deserved that victory or not.

Noi reportedly also underpaid some of the fighters at the show after promising them a certain amount. Because of these circumstances, there are doubts on the validity of a 200k Baht grand prize for winning the tournament.

Hopefully, Ladies Fight Thailand can get their act together and learn from the mistakes of Muay Thai Angels. Muay Thai fans are waiting to see who will come out on top as the best 53 kg female fighter.

COVID-19 is Back in Thailand. And Muay Thai is Gone. Again.

Posted on January 4, 2021January 4, 2021

Thailand was doing so well. The country had their lockdown, had their share of hardships, opened back up domestically (then internationally with restrictions), and was praised for what they did to contain the novel coronavirus and “flatten the curve” relatively quickly.

But now the country is reverting back to familiar stages, putting many in a state of anxiety and unemployment. And, no more Muay Thai. Again. What happened?

WHAT IS MUAY THAI?

มวยไทย
Thai boxing
The art of eight limbs

No matter what you call it, this sport has changed lives.

Driven by economical means in Thailand, children from poorer regions of the country start training and fighting to help support their families.

This sport with humble beginnings has grown exponentially all over the world. Although most non-Thais do not fight as an economical means, their passion for the sport has helped pave the way for Muay Thai to become profitable on the international scene.
