Some different styles but all equally as brutal :)

cant believe i missed out Buakaw Por pramuk, samkor and yod! Will stick them on my list too!

yodsenklai is very talented also. Can't help but think contender asia was a fix with him and John Wayne-Parr in the final. He fights for Fairtex doesn't he? Maz thats an epic list pal, You seem to be a bit more clued up on the U.K thai fighters, Not seen many fights between U.K fighters. Something I intend to remedy.

Have you got any videos maz, Training or fights? Would be awesome with that many names on it. Im stickying this thread anyway lads.

Saenchai Sor Kingstar - agree with Ross90 awsome old school style fighter.

Ross, there is loads of footage on youtube of Bad COmpany Fighters, with the exception of Jordan but you can get hold of DVD's of all their shows through the website. same probably goes for Wicker Camp fighters (TOmmi and Helene) there are plenty of dvd's around with domestic/european/world bouts on them.
you should watch more UK shows/fights, the Thai Boxing scene in the UK is probably one of the strongest in the world outside thailand, with some of the best fighters in the world battling it out every week up and down the country.

get yourself along to the M.E.N arena in manchester next week for the second MSA Show. if you are interested in thai boxing, you're not really going to get a better card in ENgland than this one...Liam v Anuwat rematch, Damien Trainor v Kaoklai, Michael Dicks v Bovy S.U, and then the domestic bouts of Andy Howson v Dean James and Keiron Keddle v Imran Kahn. it doesnt really get much better for £30..until the May MSA Show when Jordan fights Buakaw!

quality list thre mate.. gotta rep bad company fighters.. they are badass :D

Bovy, Pajonsuk and Fabio Pinca

I have to go with Namsaknoi.

Having sparred with him and Clinched with him can only say he is on another planet. That was with him pretty much playing about aswell.

I was lucky enough to share a fight card with him @ Bangla Staduim and see him fight live.

Its a pitty the ways things have turned out for him.

P.S he is quite a funny guy and loves a sing song.

T'is a good list there, although i find it as Biased as mine is about to be.
Having trained at BC before (albeit briefly), I am now training at Minotour Gym Burnt Oak - #1 MT gym in the country. IMO.

Best Thai Fighters IMO:

Saenchai Sor Kingstar - Just Amazing
Baukaw Por Pramuk - People knock him but he is always evolving his style and is unpredictable.
Yodsenklai Fairtex - Quick, Powerful and Smart.

Uk Fighters:

Christian Knowles - Minotour Gym
Samuel Wilson - Minotour Gym
Lyndon Knowles - Minotour Gym
Olly Watson - Minotour Gym
Dillan White - Red Dragons


BTW - I have not put J. Watson on this list although i will be seeing him at the Seni on May 29th when he fights Baukaw Por Pramuk - on the same card as Chris Knowles and Olly Watson :)
