Round 1 of the Kun Khmer Champion series is complete. There are now six fighters left. They will take this weekend off, and pick up fighting again next Sunday. The three fights left, in order, are:

• Cheam Adam v Seung Kangsan
• Ai Kosal v Khon Makara
• Rak Vichay v Nhean La
• Cheam Adam v Rak Vichay (Cheam Adam by decision)
• Seung Kangsan v Khon Makara (Seung Kangsan by decision)
• Ai Kosal v Nhean La

The three winners will automatically make it through to the semi-finals. The three losers will face each other in some sort of non-fight contest of strength and agility. The winner of that contest will pick his opponent. The loser of the fight and the fighter not chosen will both go home. The winner will advance to the semifinals.

In the final fight of round one, Ai Kosal vs Khun Reach, Reach got TKOd in the fourth after three eight counts.

UPDATE

The original list above was wrong. It’s been corrected. Cheam Adam KO’s Rak Vichay in the fifth. It was the best fight so far. The difference was fitness. Rak Vichay may actually be the better fighter, but Cheam Adam was stronger in the later rounds.
