The fields are now down to the finalists, which should portend a lot of good fights today and tomorrow, when things wrap up. The most anticipated match will unfold on Friday, when Phon Phanna faces Lao Sinath in the 63.5 kilogram final.

Otherwise, Ministry of Defense fighters have pretty much run away with the field. Pich Seyha will face Ot Phutang at 67 kg, and Um Dara will face Thun Sophea in the 71 g final. All four are from the same team, so it seems likely that those match ups will amount to little more than sparring sessions.

Further down the list, Van Chanvey (Preah Khan Reach) will meet Put Chayrithy (Put Sereyvong, Kandal) in the 60 kg final. And Somruth Sopheap (MoD) will take on Chan Virea (Brigade 70) at 57.

At 51, Reacehsay Chaokdeap (Krung Ngean) will go against Chut Ngoy (MoD). And I am not sure who is in at 54.

Correction: TV5 is out this year, replaced by Bayon. So fights are live on Bayon 1, not TV5, as stated in the post below. Gone, too, are nearly all of the prizes of previous TV5 years. Tv5 annually gave away televisions, DVD players, fans and boxing shoes. This year, prizes are limited to cash and medals only. And flowers, if you consider that a reward for getting punched in the head.
