Golden Muscle Wine 60kg belt

Golden Muscle Wine is promoting a 12-man tournament for a sponsored 60kg belt. The 12 contenders are:

  1. Van Chanvey
  2. Po Vansak
  3. Nourn Phirak
  4. Em Samnang
  5. Phun Sophorn
  6. Sang Sarith
  7. Heng Samrang
  8. Nourn Mony
  9. Keo Rumchang
  10. Long Sophy
  11. Chey Sineth
  12. Sek Kimphan

All 12 fighters are from different clubs. It’s a tough field. Noticeably absent from the field is Bheut Kham (instead, representing Club Saravan is Long Sophy). It would be great to see the winner of this tournament go against BK.

I’ll go out on a limb and make a prediction: Van Chanvey. Po Vansak, Keo Rumchang and Chey Sinath have to be favorites, too. I’m pretty sure everybody will fight everybody and the winner will be the guy with the most points, second place to second number of points, and so on. One or two fights per weekend, I am not sure.

  1. Chanvey is powerful. Po Vansak I have seen only once. Rumchang is excellent, but gets kinda wild towards the later rounds. Sinath I have seen to be able to throw some powerful kicks.

    I’m surprise you did not include Phirak and Sophy. The are pretty tall fighters.

  2. They are all tough, no doubt. As a little taste of things to come, Chanvay and Po Vansak fought two days ago in the Nationals. Short rounds — 2 minutes — but wow what a fight! Vansak went down twice in the second — an elbow-knee combo and knee, i think — but kept on. Very impressive. Chanvay got the decision.

  3. Sophy beat Chanvay on points yesterday during the nationals. Can’t wait to see them fight again in the muscle wine tournament.
