The last memory I have of Zaza going to Japan and getting overwhelmed in a fight. Do you remember that fight Emma? Not sure if I remember the name correctly, but I was very surprised.

Kevin, I believe she was knocked out by Rena.

Was hoping you would jump in Charlie. Well, there's no shame in that, Rena is very tough. I just remember thinking that she did not look as sharp as I expected given how famous her name was in Thailand. Maybe I would see it with different eyes if I watched now.

That was a 'Shootboxing' match, wasn't it? I know she had a couple of those fights, but didn't do so well.. :mellow: It must be very difficult transitioning over to fighting with different rules!

Gave it a Google because it's been a long time since I saw it. It was this incredible liver shot combo that KO'd her:

Below is the full fight, starting at 4:10:

I see two hip throws that certainly aren't MT, and a long choke lock that would have been legal in MT and caused serious knee problems, but then eventually broken. But Rena's hands and combinations, and her clinch are all just too much, and Zaza finds herself in several compromised positions with her head down that could be KOs by knee. I think it's a blowout even in full rules MT. Rena is just too good. Too strong, too dynamic. No shame in that though, she is a special fighter.

Hate body shots, always makes me wince when I see the 'victim' rolling on the floor. Great liver shot though

I just met Krathaithong Por. Promin at my last fight in Hua Hin. She's only had about a dozen fights!

Oh really? I've found that most Thai girls I've asked tell me they've had ten fights regardless of what the actual number is, so I'm always wary. It's hard to tell when you only have short clips to go by, but it does look as though this could have been a better match up! 

EDIT: I checked Por. Promin's Facebook page to see if there was any info on her, and it said that she had her 11th fight in April, so that sounds about right  :smile:
