Event Synopsis:

On July 19th, 2008, three legendary Muaythai fighters: Kaensak Soh., Kongnapa and Neungsiam will

enter the squared circle to test their incredible skills against champions from around the world Fabio Pinca,

Genki Yamamoto and Hector Pena as WCK Full Rules Muaythai makes its first appearance inside the

Pechanga Resort Casino ballroom.  The undercard features five more action packed bouts with local

professional stars Freddie Medrano (Murrieta) taking on Kevin Ross (Las Vegas) and Luis Bio (San

Diego) challenging Joe Davidson (Rancho Cucamonga).

Imperial Beach rising stars Sergio Lopez and Pepe Espinoza will test their skills against Victor Garcia

and Chris Benjamin respectively.

 

Muaythai is now sanctioned by the prestigious boxing organization the WBC.  The weight divisions and

rules and regulations are the same except Muaythai is not limited to just punching.  Fighters wear regulation

boxing gloves, fight three minute rounds and wear no protection on their knees, elbows and feet.  This is

WCK Full Rules Muaythai just like in Thailand.   

 

About Muaythai:

Muaythai known as the elite striking martial art combines the use of the all eight striking weapons of the

body:  elbow, knee, punch and kick.  Muaythai was developed as a martial art by the army of Thailand to

help repel outside intervention from European expansion into Southeast Asia.  Thailand was the only country

to defend itself successfully and to deny this expansion.  Muaythai fighting is credited with being a major

factor in helping keep Thailand independent.  Muaythai is the national sport of Thailand and is now part of

the Asian Olympic Games and is competed in over 112 countries throughout the world.
