Two caps show that in 1976 Rajadamnern was surging in popularity, and Lumpinee struggling. This post mentions that Lumpinee's prospects should be looking better now that the young promoter SongChai has regularly started promoting there. SongChai would of course end up ushering in the great Golden Age of Muay Thai principally centered around his promotions at Lumpinee in the 1980s and 1990s. thank you to Lev for the call out machine translate: "Chapter 2: “The Rise of Ratchadamnoen” Yes... Now that we've mentioned Lumpini Stadium, we should also talk about Rajadamnern Stadium, especially the "promoters" of Rajadamnern, who were strong and generated the highest income for the stadium in 1975, breaking records from the past to the present. The promoters of Rajadamnern were different from those of Lumpinee. During the time that "Sia Saelee" began to become famous in this industry as an assistant promoter of the Blue Corner fights, almost every promoter of the stadium surrendered under his "paws" because he had many boxers under his control. He invested his money to bring many boxers under his control. Even Napha Nakpathom, the great man of "Lord of the East" at present, had to submit and follow him like he was a subordinate! This is because Sia is a “connector” between the promoters of Rajadamnern Stadium, since many people depend on him for cooperation in organizing boxing matches. Sia’s name is therefore heard throughout the industry, generating a lot of income for Rajadamnern Stadium last year. Rajadamnern Stadium is like a mother stadium because promoters try to find fresh boxers to join the program, trying to find boxers with potential to join (read on page 20)" "• Before leaving, Colonel Uthai predicted that the Lumpini stage was going to start to get better, and it seems to be true because now they have hired a skilled young man, Songchai Ratanasuban, as the new promoter.... As for the secret behind “Ko Hong” Phong Thawornwiwatbut being dragged into refusing to be the Lumpini promoter, Colonel Uthai knows who it is...." -

In the issue there is this ranking of Lumpinee in 1971. The lowest weight ranked in 106 lbs, called Light Flyweight (notable because small fighters are being represented, as discussed below). It may be 108 lbs, but it graphically looks like 106. The champion is Daotong Sityodtong. Ranked number 1 is Orachunnoi Hor.Mahachai. Glairung is the 112 lb champion. The highest weight is 126 lb, Featherweight. The champion is Soleman Ittianuchit, Fahsai Taweechai is number 1 rank. Notable that the weights do not reach into the 130-145 lb classes. thank you Lev for the call out of the graphic. It looks like Kru Tao (discussed below), organized the Lumpinee Belt around low weight fighters in the early 70s:

Hey! I totally get what you mean about pushing through—it can sometimes backfire, especially with mood swings and fatigue. Regarding repeated head blows and depression, there’s research showing a link, especially with conditions like CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). More athletes are recognizing the importance of mental health alongside training. -

Hi all, I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be traveling to Thailand soon for just over a month of traveling and training. I am a complete beginner and do not own any training gear. One of the first stops on my trip will be to explore Bangkok and purchase equipment. What should be on my list? Clearly, gloves, wraps, shorts and mouthguard are required. I would be grateful for some more insight e.g. should I buy bag gloves and sparring gloves, whether shin pads are worthwhile for a beginner, etc. I'm partiularly conscious of the heat and humidity, it would make sense to pack two pairs of running shoes, two sets of gloves, several handwraps and lots of shorts. Any nuggets of wisdom are most welcome. Thanks in advance for your contributions! -

3½ years late of a reply haha. I'm in Phuket and have went to quite a few physios. The best so far is Meaw at OptimiseFit at the Blue Tree in north Phuket. She doesn't dry needle me as another Dr. has here but all my muscle tension came back soon so it's a waste of money.
