Thailand VS Germany 2012 Highlight

[eliteboxing]

Elite Boxing’s Thailand VS Challenger Series gained the support of both the German and Thai governments this year as the annual Thailand VS Germany event was incorporated into the celebrations marking 150 years of bilateral relations between the two countries. While Thailand just came out on top with a 3-2 victory at the 1,500-seat Congress Centrum in Heidenheim, this year’s event was about much more than muaythai.

Thailand got off to a great start when Phisit Saengwilai won on points against Michael Wolfinger. Although Phisit is a proud Thai, he grew up and still lives in Germany. Although he is a relative newcomer to muay thai, he was able to outscore his German opponent and he dedicated his victory to his newborn child.


In the second fight, Sebastian Harms Mendez beat Namyapa KauKlomKiow by KO. Although Mendez suffered a cut in the first round, the popular local fighter from Southern Germany came back strong and beat his Thai opponent to level the scores on the night.






Thailand were soon back in front, however, as Jaochalarm Chatkranok Gym knocked out Alex Vogel. The German fighter could not handle the Thai’s strong leg work and succumbed to a barrage of kicks.




The Thais took an unbeatable lead in the fourth fight as Changpuek Elite Fight Club overcame Andi Roegner by a unanimous points decision in what was one of the most exciting fights of the evening. Changpuerk, who fights for EB Fight Club Bangkok, was comfortably ahead after the first 3 rounds but got knocked to the floor in round 4. However, he recovered quickly and came back strong again in round 5.



With Thailand having secured overall victory on the night, there was only pride left to fight for in the final bout. Enriko “The Hurricane” Kehl against Nonsai Sor Sanyakorn had been billed as the main fight of the evening and the two fighters didn’t hold back. Technically superior, Nonsai was ahead on points in what was a very exciting and intelligent fight. However, Enriko refused to give up and knocked out his Thai opponent with a spinning elbow to reduce the deficit to 3-2.



EB is already working on a rematch between these two great warriors for Thailand VS Europe, which has now been rescheduled for March 23, 2013.
