Stephen doing huge things on the MT scene at the moment. Probably would only find fights at 61-63 kg in Aussie though so may have to go up in weight

Welcome to the forum mate. Irish has his finger on the pulse when it comes to Thailand so very lucky to have him on the forum.

Thanks JWP ,

Hot Sizzle Stephen has a contract with Petchyindee promotions to fight in the 130lb division which is perfect for him, that's his best weight to fight at power wise,

He would fight at 61kg max and your right thats where the good fights are in Aussie.

He has a big fight against Zeeoui up next on the Muay Thai Warriors show in China,

And there is talk of a fight with Pornsanaeh at 130lb after that.

When Stephen was put against Ch 7 Champion Rungravee, it was widely considered a mismatch. Although he lost the fight he broke two of Rungravee's ribs. This led to a great deal of interest in the Irishman.

His next fight was against Kongnapa, which he won and earned a place in the rankings.

130 pnds is a strong division in Lumpini, with big names like Seanchai and Singdam, so he has a tough road ahead. I really like Steve's style, he's aggressive and will push forward, but never drops his guard or goes for the big shot.

His main event fight against Kongnapa is one of the best Thai vs Farang clashes I've ever seen.

Very good informative post Wai Kru and thanks for sharing the video of the Kongnapa fight.
