Erika Kamimura (Japan) vs Loma Sitajou (Thailand) - 12-2-2012

[Sylvie von Duuglas-Ittu]

Rare fight footage. Very little video of Erika Kamimura is around. Japan's Erika has been thought of as the best low-weight female Muay Thai fighter in the world until she retired about a year or more ago. She has unusual power for her size. Here she fights Loma Sitajou who is probably a weight class under her at the time. Erika held the 105 lb WPMF title, Loma easily fought at 100 lbs.

I've fought and lost to Loma twice and she is very difficult to deal with in the clinch, the best clinch fighter I've faced near my weight, by far. In this fight it's basically her clinch vs. Erika's power combinations. Loma is currently on the Thai National team.

I remember hearing about Erika's retirement. I think I read that she has a rare heart condition that makes it really dangerous for her to fight. Its too bad, it would have been cool to see a rematch with Loma, who is bigger now and no doubt more skilled.

She had so many wonderful ko's. Would have loved to see another fight with Rena

Here is Erika fighting another Thai fighter (Neung Siam Por .Pramuk). Erika's opponent here has fought overseas a fair bit ... she fought French fighter Florence Dela roche and Russian Ekaterina Vanderieva- both those at 53kg. There is an interview at 2min 50 sec and the fight after
