Results and Recap for WCK Muay Thai "Hot Summer Fights", Nakamoto remains undefeated

Muay Thai Authority — Mon, 26 Aug 2013 02:14:00 +0000

WCK Muay Thai “Hot Summer Fights” took place last night at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, CA. In the night’s main event Aleide Lawant tried to Dethrone “The Queen of Mean” Miriam Nakamoto and not only take her WBC Muay Thai World Title, but also hand her the first loss of her career. Nakamoto, however, would have none of it. Lawant came out aggressive, but Nakamoto remained poised and calmly took the center of the ring. They both exchanged heavy blows and Lawant opened a cut on Nakamoto’s brow with an elbow, but before she could capitalize on the cut Nakamoto returned the favor. As the fight wore on Nakamoto seemed to get stronger as Lawant slowed down. In the end Nakamoto walked away still undefeated and still the champ after all three judges scored the fight in her favor giving her the unanimous decision victory.

In the night’s co-main event Mike Lemaire won the WBC Muay Thai Cruiserweight National Title with a first round (T)KO of Ryan Madigan. Early in the first round after some exchanged strikes Madigan fell to the canvas clutching his right knee. After getting back to his feet Lemaire went on the attack and pushed him against the ropes. Lemarie looked to deliver a flying knee, but Madigan fell to his back clutching his knee again and the fight was stopped.

In another WBC Muay Thai title fight Luis Bio defended his WBC Muay Thai Mexican National Title by edging a very game Raul Rodriguez in a split decision. Bio started strong and used his strong clinch to get the better of Rodriguez early, but as the fight went on it seemed Rodriguez got stronger. He began to use his boxing a bit more and connect with clean punches in the later rounds, but Bio continued to use his clinch game to neutralize Rodriguez’s boxing. It was a close fight but Bio remained the champion when it was all said and done.

Adam Rothweiler improved to 3-0 with a (T)KO stoppage of Levon Sarkysan. Rothweiler and Sarkysan went toe to toe, but the difference was that Rothweiler continuously delivered leg kicks to Sarkysan’s lead leg that went unchecked. By the fourth round Sarkysan could no longer take the leg kicks and he hit the canvas. After beating the referee’s count Rothweiler went on the attack with more leg kicks knocking Sarkysan down against and forcing the referee to stop the fight.

In some of the night’s other action Leyna Ovchynnikova won a unanimous decision over Emily Bearden. Jacob Poss, John Vargas, and Alfred Kashakyan all scored spectacular first round knockouts as well.

Results:

Miriam Nakamoto def. Aleide Lawant via Unanimous Decision

Mike Lemaire def. Ryan Madigan via (T)KO in Rd. 1

Luis Bio def. Raul Rodriguez via Split Decision

Leyna Ovchynnikova def. Emily Bearden via Unanimous Decision

Adam Rothweiler def. Levon Sarkysan via (T)KO in Rd. 4

Updated North American Super Welterweight Rankings 5/23/2013

Muay Thai Authority — Thu, 23 May 2013 14:52:00 +0000

Since the last update three fighters were in action. Michael Mananquil won the 154lb Road to Glory USA tournament, Bryce Krause defeated Douglas Edwards at M-One “Reborn”, and Cyrus Washington lost in the opening round of the 154lb Road to Glory USA tournament. The only move in the rankings is Bryce Krause moving up to number four after his win, while Cyrus Washington drops to number five after his loss.

1.
Chike Lindsay (18-4)
Lindsay is currently on a five fight win streak that includes victories over
the likes of Somluck Kamsing, Malaipet Sasiprapa, and Cyrus Washington. The Atlanta based fighter has
clearly established himself as one of the top North American fighters in the
last year. His next fight will easily be the toughest test of his career as he
is slated to fight Muay Thai legend Yodsanklai Fairtex at Lion Fight 10 on July 26th. A win
by Lindsay against Yodsanklai would be huge not only for his career for the sport
in North America.

2. Michael Mananquil (19-4)
Michael Mananquil is now 5-0 since jumping up to 154lbs. He most recently won the Road to Glory USA 154lb tournament. Despite being known as a technical fighter, Mananquil has shown that he is not afraid to let the leather fly and get involved in an all out war. One of the most intriguing fights at 154 would be against Chike Lindsay.

3.
Luis Bio (11-4) (@LuisBio1)
Bio last won at WCK Muay Thai’s “Matter
of
Pride” event this past November where he won a unanimous decision over
Zhipeng
Zhou. Bio has easily established himself as the best fighter out Mexico
in the
last few years. In his most recent bout he dropped a decision to Zhipeng
Zhou in the Wu Lin Feng 154lb 8-man tournament in China this past
December. His next fight is currently unknown

4. Bryce Krause (10-4-1)
Krause returned to action for the first time since September of 2012 and bounced back with a decision win over Douglas Edwards. Krause showed a technical counter game to score points. What was most impressing was his accuracy, he was on point with this striking and being known for his heavy hands this just adds another dangerous aspect to his game.

5.
Cyrus Washington (51-22-1) (@BlackDynamiteMT)

After winning back to back fights Washington was eliminated in the opening round of the Road to Glory 154lb tournament by Troy Sheridan. Washington’s next bout is currently unknown but earlier this year Take-On Productions announced they had inked Washington to a deal so his return could be for them.

Matches to make after M-One “Reborn”

Muay Thai Authority — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:42:00 +0000

M-One “Reborn” took place this past week and it was a nice return for the M-One promotion after a year long hiatus. The theme of the event was Team Thailand vs. The World, and Team Thailand walked away with a clean 4-0 sweep. Despite only one North American based fighter being on the world team, there were several other on the fight card. So what’s next for the winning fighters after M-One “Reborn”? Here are a few match ups that we feel would be good moves for the four North American winner on the under card, and for the only North American on the world team, Romie Adanza, whether they be on a future M-One card or another promotion.

Romie Adanza vs. Jomhod Sagami
Their bout at M-One ended early due to a nicely placed elbow from Jomhod that opened up a cut on Adanza’s head. There is no saying what would have happened had Adanza not been cut so early in the bout. Fans definitely weren’t happy about the stoppage, and would probably be more than excited to see a re-match.

Bryce Krause vs. Luis Bio
Bryce Krause defeated Douglas Edwards by unanimous decision at M-One “Reborn”. Krause used some accurate counter striking to find his mark and out point Edwards. A match-up that would not only be exciting, but would make sense would be against Mexico’s Luis Bio. Both are two of the top 154lb fighters in North America and would likely engage in an exciting bout. Krause’s heavy hands vs. Bio’s clinch and elbow game would be a treat for the fans.

Glen Spencer vs. Shawn Yarborough or Brandon Banda
Glen Spencer stumbled out of the gates as a pro dropping a decision to Mike Lemaire, but has won his last two bouts by (T)KO. His victory over Sebastian Lopez at M-One was a solid victory for the Sityodtong LA product, but it would be nice to see Spencer face a more seasoned veteran his next time out. Shawn Yarborough or Brandon Banda would each fit the bill. Both are veterans that, although not as active lately have been solid fighters throughout their career, and could test Spencer in a five round fight.

Adam Rothweiler vs. Jason Andrada
Adam Rothweiler was active in the MMA scene before switching to Muay Thai, and so far it seems like it has been the right choice. Rothweiler defeated Adrian Morilla in his pro debut, and at M-One “Reborn” scored a spectacular head kick knockout over Jessie Magusen. Rothweiler was known as an exciting fighter when he was competing in MMA never holding anything back and it seems that he’s bringing that trait over to Muay Thai. Rothweiler keeps a fast pace and doesn’t seem to slow down. Andrada is another young fighter who doesn’t seem to have a pause button. From start to finish both of these fighters go full force, and if you place them both in the same ring the only result possible seems to be one of the craziest fights that could ever take place.

Joey Pagliuso vs. Jose Palacios
Joey Pagliuso has seemed like a man possessed in his last two fights. Both fights have been one sided stoppages of his opponents, with Karlos Aldama being his victim at M-One “Reborn”. Pagliuso has come out fighting like a bat out of hell looking to let the leather fly early and it has paid dividends. In 2011 Pagliuso suffered a knockout loss to Jose Palacios after a head kick dropped him in the final round of the bout. Up until that point many thought Pagliuso was on his way to winning a decision. It would be interesting to see these two meet again.

North American Super Welterweight Rankings 5/2/2013

Muay Thai Authority — Fri, 03 May 2013 00:10:00 +0000

Since
the last update Michael Mananquil has entered the 154lb rankings after
originally being the number one 147lb fighter in North America, Mananquil has
been active in the 154lb division as of late and is now set to compete in the
154lb Road to Glory USA tournament on May 11th. Luis Bio drops to number three
with the addition of Mananquil and Shane Oblonsky falls out of the ranking due
to inactivity. Cyrus Washington enters at number four and like Mananquil will
compete in the Road to Glory USA
154lb tournament. Bryce Krause drops to number five, while previous number five,
Joe Sampieri is no longer on the list after deciding to drop down to 147lbs.

2. Michael Mananquil (16-4)
It seems 154 is the division where Mananquil will likely reside. His last two
wins have been in the 154lb division, and he is now expected to return to action in
the Road to Glory USA 154lb tournament on May 11th in Milwaukee. One
of the most technical fighters in the sport, he has to be considered an early
favorite to win the Road to Glory USA tournament.

3.
Luis Bio (11-4) (@LuisBio1)
Bio last won at WCK Muay Thai’s “Matter
of Pride” event this past November where he won a unanimous decision over Zhipeng
Zhou. Bio has easily established himself as the best fighter out Mexico in the
last few years. In his most recent bout he dropped a decision to Zhipeng Zhou in the Wu Lin Feng 154lb 8-man tournament in China this past December. His next fight is currently unknown

4.
Cyrus Washington (51-22-1) (@BlackDynamiteMT)
Washington has won back to back fights against Jeremy Carper
and Strahinja Ivanovic. He is next slated to competed in the Road to Glory USA 154lb tournament in Milwaukee on May 11th. With Glory’s
fast paced style it will be interesting to see if “Black Dynamite” can use his
explosiveness en route to the tournament crown.

5.
Bryce Krause (9-4-1)
Krause returned to action after another year long layoff to be part of the K-1
Max tournament. He faced Justin Greskiewicz in the opening round and early on
it looked as if Krause might be on his way to victory, but Greskiewicz turned
the tables and defeated Krause by (T)KO. Currently Krause is now set to fight
Douglas Edwards at M-One “Reborn” on May 16th^.

Results and Recap: Matter of Pride

Muay Thai Authority — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 18:52:00 +0000

WCK: Matter of Pride took place Sunday November 14, 2012 at the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. The event was a mix of Muay Thai and Wulingfeng bouts. In the main event Jemyma Betrian defeated Tiana Caverley by unanimous decision to take home the WBC Muay Thai Bantamweight World Title. It was a fairly one sided fight as Betrian was able to land her strikes at will. All three judges scored the bout 50-45 in favor of Betrian.

In the co-main event Zeqi Deng scored an upset over Lerdsila Chumpairtour. Deng took home a split decision over Lerdsila, a bout many expected Lerdsila to win. Deng fought smart and stuck to his game plan while Lerdsila might have hurt himself by show boating a little too much. It is big win for Deng and Lerdsila’s second consecutive loss.

In the WCK vs. Wulinfeng portion of the fight card both sides scored three victories a piece. For the Wulingfeng team Xifeng Tang defeated Lena Ovchynnikova by unanimous decision, Yinghua Tie defeated Artem Sharoshkin by unanimous decision, and Zhaoyu Zheng defeated Joe Davidson in a controversial (T)KO. Zheng connected with a low blow on Davidson who was then unable to continue and the victory was awarded to Zheng.

For the WCK team Luis Bio (@LuisBio1) scored a unanimous decision over Zhipeng Zhou, Raul Rodriguez defeated Chuang Xie by unanimous decision, and Mike Lemaire (@MikeLemaire) took home a split decision over Baoming Li.

In the nights only other pro Muay Thai bout Bryan Humes (@Bryan815) scored a (T)KO over Anthony Newman in the second round.

Updated North American Super Welterweight Rankings 10/18/2012

Muay Thai Authority — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 20:09:00 +0000

Baxter Humby drops out of the
rankings due to inactivity. Chike Lindsay moves up to number one after his win
over Malaipet in June and Luis Bio’s loss to Michael Mananquil, Bio drops to
number two. Shane Oblonsky passes Bryce Krause and gets into the three
spot after Krause’s loss to Justin Greskiewicz. Rounding out the rankings is
new addition Joe Sampieri.

1. Chike Lindsay (16-4)
Lindsay most recently defeated Malaipet
Sasiprapa at Bangkok Fight Night in
Atlanta,
GA this past June. The pair had
met in August 2011 a fight with Lindsay had also won. Lindsay was then forced
to withdraw from a bout in September due to injury and currently his next fight
is unknown.

2. Luis Bio (11-4) (@LuisBio1)
Luis Bio dropped his fight to Michael Mananquil
after the bout was stopped in the third round due to a cut. It was a close back
and forth fight up until that point. Before his loss to Mananquil, Bio had won
his last two bouts due to cut stoppages because of elbows against some of
Mexico’s top
fighters (Brian Hernandez and Erik Mejia). Bio will be back in action on
November 11^th at the WCK WuLinFeng show against Zhou Zhipeng.

3. Shane Oblonsky (7-3)
Oblonsky was last in action at Lion Fight
Promotions “Battle in the Desert 5” on February
25th in Las Vegas.
Oblonsky rebounded from a decision loss in China in January by earning a
unanimous decision win over Jose Palacios. Oblonsky is a talented fighter and
when focused can give you his opposition fits in the ring. He is now training
with Colin Oyama which will undoubtedly help Oblonsky reach the next level. His
next bout is scheduled for the November 11
^th WCK WuLinFeng event
against Tie Yinghua.

4. Bryce Krause (9-4-1)
Krause returned to action after another year
long layoff to be part of the K-1 Max tournament. He faced Justin Greskiewicz
in the opening round and early on it looked as if Krause might be on his way to
victory, but Greskiewicz turned the tables and defeated Krause by (T)KO.
Currently Krause next bout is unknown, but hopefully fans don’t have to wait
another year to see him fight.

5. Joe Sampieri (8-2) (@JoeSampieri)
Joe Sampieri most recently defeated Mike Erosa
at the August Friday Night Fights Muay Thai event by decision. It had been
almost a year since Sampieri had a fought, his previous fight being a decision
over Harris Norwood in September of 2011. Sampieri’s next bout is currently unknown.
