We often describe Thailand as the hardest country to score a win in as a visiting fighter. Their are a number of reasons for this though they aren't all to do with the officials of the Thai environment, which are both very unfriendly. Sometimes it's down to the Thai fighters involved in the bout. That was on show in 1999 when Sornpichai Kratingdaenggym pulled a KO out of no-where to stop Venezuelan Leo Gamez and claim the WBA Flyweight title. The bout swung one way then the other. Games was down twice early on though had Sornpichai ready to go after a serious flurry that buckled the Thai's legs. It seemed as if Gamez was set to score a huge upset and then...bang! The ending is really is a great one and well worth watching over and over. (Note-The eagle eyed amongst you may recognise adverts for both 3K Battery and Kratingdeang, or Red Bull, both of which are famous sponsors in Thai boxing.)
