This post from the WBC on Facebook caught my eye. A fight for the vacant Women's WBC Minimum Weight International Title is taking place on 7/26/2023 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Huynh Ha Huu Hieu (Vietnam) vs Pornthip Khamthongpanow (Thailand).

Sylvie fought Elisabetta Solinas (Italy) for the vacant Women's WBC Minimum Weight World Title on 2/4/2023. Fight #275 on the way to #471. 

When I first say the FB post I didn't realize there were 3 belts at each weight class: World, International, and European. I was trying to figure out why 2 other women were fighting for "Sylvie's Belt" instead of Sylvie defending it.

Women's WBC Rankings,  Huynh Ha Huu Hieu (Vietnam) is ranked 5th and Pornthip Khamthongpanow (Thailand) is ranked 7th.

Good catch Kristen.

Looks like this is the Vietnamese fighter:

 

Does Sylvie know the Thai woman? I looked through Sylvie's fight record but didn't see a name that matched. I know Thai fighters often change their fight names or their names are transliterated different ways in English.

I don't think so. We've been pretty much told over and over that no Thai in the country around Sylvie's weight will fight her, so unless they were fighting a few years before we've lost touch with some of the names who are active at this size.

      Finding a Bangkok Gym After 1-year hiatus

      By AandAinThailand · Posted

      I'm not sure where Fani Peloumpi trains nowadays - might be that she still gives privates at MTA academy which is quite central. I would contact her on facebook, as we did. We enjoyed our privates with her. Luckily, in my experience in Thailand, the pads are held by Thai trainers who have control and no need to use strength to show off, so my main worry would be rather to avoid touristy gyms near where half the people training there are mainly concerned with getting the right shots for their social media. If you stay for one month, i would try out different gyms and see which fits best.  Getting different experiences and approaches would be a plus, in my opinion, and Bangkok is like a candy store in that regard. Add to that a few privates e.g. with Namsaknoi, or any trainers at established gyms such as Sasiprapa, Petchyindee, Kaewsamrit, Eminent Air, Luktupfah.

      Finding a Bangkok Gym After 1-year hiatus

      By An-Idea65 · Posted

      I am going to Bangkok in a few weeks and plan to stay there for one month, working remotely. I'm coming off a 1-year hiatus and will need to slowly ramp up my training again, so looking for a place that I can pop into 2-3x per week to start, and then slowly progress. I am a casual student so don't think training camps are for me right now. I also want something in between traditional and Westernized - just a gym culture that is welcoming to intermediate women, and makes sure that egos are checked at the door (I've been to way too many gyms holding pads for large, powerful dudes with egos that went unchecked, which led to a lot of unnecessary injuries for me - part of why I took a hiatus). Given this, I wonder if taking just private classes is better, until I "sniff out" the vibes of the other students, before holding pads with them.. I've been looking through lists on here and quite frankly, overwhelmed by the choice. Budget-wise, id like to keep the privates down to less than 40/hr Anyone have recommendations?

      Finding The Most Authentic Muay Thai Gyms in Thailand

      By Kevin von Duuglas-Ittu · Posted

      I'd add to the list The TDet99 gym in Bangkok which we recently film in for the Muay Thai Library (Kru Hem), watch that here: It's a Bangkok kaimuay, a gambling stadium trad gym, with not a lot of Westerners (last we checked), and a top kru.

      Poot Lorlek vs Posai Sittiboonlert

      By RyanAWag · Posted

      The first fight between Poot Lorlek and Posai Sittiboonlert was recently uploaded to youtube. Posai is one of the earliest great Muay Khao fighters and influential to Dieselnoi, but there's very little footage of him. Poot is one of the GOATs and one of Posai's best wins, it's really cool to see how Posai's style looked against another elite fighter.

      Muay-Thai training camps-Europe??

      By FuckedElbow-Muay · Posted

      Yeah, this is certainly possible. Thanks! I just like the idea of a training camp pre-fight because of focus and getting more "locked in".. Do you know of any high level gyms in europe you would recommend?

      Muay-Thai training camps-Europe??

      By SJC74 · Posted

      You could just pick a high-level gym in a European city, just live and train there for however long you want (a month?). Lots of gyms have morning and evening classes.

      Muay-Thai training camps-Europe??

      By FuckedElbow-Muay · Posted

      Hi, i have a general question concerning Muay-Thai training camps, are there any serious ones in Europe at all? I know there are some for kickboxing in the Netherlands, but that's not interesting to me or what i aim for. I have found some regarding Muay-Thai in google searches, but what iv'e found seem to be only "retreats" with Muay-Thai on a level compareable to fitness-boxing, yoga or mindfullness.. So what i look for, but can't seem to find anywhere, are camps similar to those in Thailand. Grueling, high-intensity workouts with trainers who have actually fought and don't just do this as a hobby/fitness regime. A place where you can actually grow, improve technique and build strength and gas-tank with high intensity, not a vacation... No hate whatsoever to those who do fitness-boxing and attend retreats like these, i just find it VERY ODD that there ain't any training camps like those in Thailand out there, or perhaps i haven't looked good enough?..  Appericiate all responses, thank you!
