LAMSONGKHRAM CHUWATTANA
Born in December 12th 1983 (24)
WBC Muay Thai Middle Weight Champion
Rajadamnern Stadium Middle Weight 2nd place
Japan, China, Belgium, USA, England, Kyrgyztan・・・. The fighters who goes around the world
“ I like Kyrgyztan the best. Why? I liked the climate. I feel being more famous outside of Thailand. I get asked for autograph and shaking hands outside of Thailand. I enjoy fighting outside of Thailand. It is common that people like and get excited when I use high kick and elbow throw.
In Thailand, the Muay Thai fan means gambler. It is that they fluctuate between hope and despair by each rounds more so than they enjoy the contents of game.
It was not like that before. But it is true that Muay Thai in Thailand has strong tied with gamblingn which Lamsongkhram lament about.
Unlike Thailand, Muay Thai is respected as one of the martial arts and arts itself in other countries. Personally, I do not like Muay Thai as being gambling. I hope Thai government will put more effort to mane Muay Thai as a international sport.
The former middle weight Champion of Rajadamnern, when Lamsongkhram was asked “Which belts do you like better Rajadamnern or WBC?” he whispered “WBC”.
The belt for Rajadamnern is only being challenged by Thai fighters. But, WBC is mostly foreigners. Even by chance I loose, if I show the good match, they will respect and cheer me. If I loose in Thailand, participants and gamblers will be yearling at me. I personally wish to fight in France for next defending match. I have heard that in France there are many Nak Muay of my class.
By tall height (183cm) and long reach, he makes forcibly front kick and knee. He seems to have the momentum to build his long time championship.
