Sylvie just fought Superball Paladon Gym in Hua Hin (that is the fighter she facing, I believe). Is "443" a fighter's name?

[cjsreport]

443 is her ring name. Some snooping revealed her real name to be Yoshimi Hatayama. Here is an article about one of her fights: http://www.mmarising.com/articles/2015/04/05/saya-ito-defeats-chihiro-kira-retains-wpmf-title-at-bom-7-in-tokyo/

That would be her, translating names from Japanese is not fun since they use phonetics for foreign words but are lacking several sounds.

She told Sylvie that she's returning to Pattaya in August too.

Yes, definitely seen how crazy that transliteration process is. You do a great job Charlie.

Oh, now that you mention it, it makes complete sense!

"443" is "ShiShi-san" -> Yoshimi :) :) At least in my manga&anime-based-Japanese-knowledge it makes totally sense!

(4 is shi and 3 is san in Japanese, "-san" is also used as a honorific ending, kinda like Mr. or Mrs.)

That is pretty awesome use of manga/anime knowledge!

[cjsreport]

Your manga knowledge is strong

This is so awesome. All my Japanese language knowledge comes from Anime, which just means it's super limited but I love when connections jump out.

Took me a long time to figure out that in Thai "555" is "hahaha" (5 = ha)

In the newspapers here Saya Ito is referred to with what would be pronounced Ai-toh, sometimes following that with a gym name.

I think she'll smash Superball, especially now that Saya's been working her clinch with O. Meekhun gym when she visits Thailand. Superball is Southpaw though, which can shake things up a bit. Saya's experienced enough that she's probably faced that plenty of times before.

[cjsreport]

It's funny that the pronounce it Ai-toh when in Japan it's pronounced E-toh

Having one set of characters represent r's and l's has made translating Thai names from Japanese one of my least favorite things to do.

I hope she does well. She seems to be having fights at a steady pace.

Is that Palapon Gym in Hua Hin? I fought a girl from there a couple of times and a friend of mine did some training over there. I hope we get to see a video of that fight. 

It's exciting that you guys will be training together again in August, Sylvie!

Seems likely that is the same gym. We only got 20 seconds of that fight, missing maybe the first minute, Sylvie's working on the blog post now. Made a GIF of it because it's so short. may take a little bit to load. The fight here.

On the same card as the superball fight, Rika Thongkraisaen will be fighting who ever this is

 

Something like Jomukuwan Shittonsaku

Thai does the same thing with "r" and "l" being largely interchangeable (in spoken Thai). So don't sweat it too much on the transliteration :)
