- Van Chanvait v Naem Chenda
- Long Sophy v Kao Roomchang Khon Reach
Kao Roomchang will take a fourth crack at Long Sophy on Sunday at TV5. Coming of two huge victories over Lao Sinath and Nuon Soriya, Kao Roomchang steps into the ring with momentum behind him. He will need it. He has faced Long Sophy thrice and lost each time is 1-2. Yok “My Name is Kill” Yakill and Chan Ratana should be an exciting rematch of their first fight two weeks ago that Yakill won on points.
In the lighter weight divisions, Hul Dara will take on a very tough Reachesay Baba, and Vung Noi will try to draw even with Bich Buntheoun. In the last two weekends of fights, three of RCAF club’s mainstays have been stopped: Vung Noi by Bich Buntoeun, Somruth Sopheap by Khann Sovan, and Ly Chin Hour by Morn Samet.
Sunday Update: Kao Roomchang was a scratch. Khon Reach took his place and turned in a lackluster effort. TV5 is gearing up for am 8-man tourney at 57kg. Bheut Kam gets back in the ring next Sunday with Pao Puot, likely at 65kg.

Solid cards everywhere, although nothing terribly compelling. Sunday at CTN, Yul Samal v Nuon Likho should be a high-wattage affair. The little big men from Club Salavon always put on a good show: Hul Dara and Cheng Rithy, two of the best at 57kg. Both will have their hands full on the weekend, especially Dara. Lao Sinath and Long Sophy should be a good fight, too, as well as Sarim Vonthon and Phal Sophat. Van Chanvey and the return of Pich Arun are also worthwhile. Everywhere is good this weekend.
In home team action, Angkor Youth Boxing Club boxer Saeng Ratana goes against Phal Sophat on Friday at TV5. In recent months, Ratana has become the boxer to beat at 60kg.

- Nuon Sokheng v Morn Kimlong
The big fight this weekend is May Sopheap and Sen Bunthen at TV5 on Sunday. Elsewhere, on Friday American Alex Scarborough will make his professional kick-boxing debut against Di Somrath. Fighting at the announced wieght of 80 kilograms, these guys are heavy-weights by local standards.
Kao Bunheng returns to the ring after a long layoff in the main event Friday. He faces Pich Sombath. The pair have fought many times. Bunheng usually wins, but coming off the layoff, and perhaps slightly under-trained, Sombath is the favorite Friday.
Leap Samnang v Hul Dara will be a good matchup up two top-notch fighters at 57kg. On Saturday, all eyes will be on Mun Seyla, a rookie under the tutelage of Chuon Samnang. Young and talented, he is an up-and-comer to watch. Card at CTN on Saturday is solid throughout. The main event between Reachesay Chanra and Sok Sovan should be an action-packed affair, as the two 57-kg scrappers are both fierce, unrelenting fighters. Sovan is from the Koh Kong klan; Chanra traines with Nuon Soriya, who is slowly making a name for himself as a trainer in addition to master student of the Cambodian fight science.

Many good fights this weekend, including the return of several fighters who have been away for a while. The top match is probably Kao Roomchang v Lao Sinath on Sunday at TV5. Sinath is the 60-kg champion. KR is explosive, with knockout power. Should be a good fight. Sarim Vonthon v Yak “My Name is Kill” Yakill will be interesting and Van Chanvey against Phal Sophat, the 63.5 champ, should also be a good fight.
Vung Noy retuns to face Aem Vichet, who is coming off last Sunday’s stunning first-round knockout of Somruth Sopheap. Yim Deap returns to face Sung Savon, and Som Chanta, once a rising star with Long Saravon before disappearing, goes against Chey Chanroath.

Great fights many places over the weekend. The biggest, the rematch between Ot and Sen Bunthen was cancelled. Ot is out of the country. The second big fight of the weekend is the Saturday rematch of Sarim Vonthon and Phal Sophat at Bayon. Sunday card at CTN is also very tempting, with three Anlong fights (all named Khon), as well as Kao Roomchang, one of the most exciting fighters active today.

If you could only be one place this weekend, that place would have to be TV5 on Sunday to see Auth Phutang against Sen Bunthen. The two first met March 29. Sen Bunthen surprised a lot of people by winning. Was it a fluke win as some have suggested? We will know Sunday. On the undercard, Po Vannsak v Van Chanwait should be a good matchup as well. Elsewhere, Van Chanvey against Les Tuk promises to be a war. If you’re looking for an excuse to get out to the new TV5 stadium in Takmao, it does not get any more tempting than this. The rematch between Kao Roomchang and Long Sophy on Sunday at CTN should also be good. Kao Roomchang is, in my estimation, one of the most exciting fighters out there today.
If you’re rooting for the home team — that would be Angkor Youth Boxing Club — Suang Panya is fighting on Saturday at CTN. Payna has won something like nine of his last 10 fights.

Twelve guys are headed to Koh Kong to take on 12 Thai fighters on 14-15. From the sounds of it, most of the fighters are from Koh Kong Club: Somruth Sopheap, Sok Sovan, Chlam Saw, and others. Still not exactly sure who.
There are also some KNY fights happening in Poipet, according to Poipet native Yak “My Name is Kill” Yakil. If you’re in either place, drop in.
Happy New Year.

No fights at TV5 this weekend. TV5 fights next weekend will be held in Takeo, not exactly sure where. It’s supposed to be televised.
Khon Reach v Long Sophy is the big fight of the weekend. Reach is one of the few who have have knocked out Long Sophy. The pair’s last fight ended in the third (maybe fourth) roundwith a side kick — a relatively rare move.
At the lighter weights, Aem Vichet v Rith Arun could aslo be interesting. Rith Arun is a relative newcomer, with less than 20 fights. But he rarely loses. Aem Vichet will be tough for him, and a win would help propel him up the ranks.
Chai Oy and especially Chey Sinith are always enjoyble to watch.
Looking ahead to next weekend, Pich Seyha will face 67-kg title holder May Sopheap at the TV5 Takeo stadium next Friday, the 17th. The Takeo staduim is new territory for TV5 boxing, and it’s not quite clear what the station wants to achieve holding fights so far away from the city.
In previous Khmer New Years, the station has held fights at Mondial Center, a pretty sorry place to hold fights. Outdoors, Modial was incredibly hot, crowded, no place to sit and hard to see the action without. Takeo will probably be similar. It really makes no sense.
