Friday TV5:
Mat Chwaing (Koh Kong) v Reachesay Chaokdeap … Mat Chawaing by decision. The fight ended very weirdly. With 10 seconds left in round 5 Deap stumbled and fell to one knee on his own accord. While down, Mat Chwaing kneed him in the head. Deap stood up quickly but a little bit dazed and [...]
Sunday November 29 at TV5. Not sure of the weight, but probably around 68kg.
Mai Chaimov is coming of a first place finish at the nationals, having scored a victory over Sen Bunthen in the finals when Bunthen had to abandon the fight due to a dislocated shoulder. Kam’s last outing was a decision victory over [...]
A good night of fights all around. Prime Minister Hun Sen gave main event fighters $1,000 each, and undercard fighters $500 each, including the two little guys, Rith Kao and Mtes Kmang, both about 14 years old. A Russian named Mitery, who was originally scheduled to fight Thun Sophea, did not make it for unspecified [...]

“I’m afraid to fight,” Sen Bunthen joked before the fight. “I just came here to watch.” The decision, however, was real. After five rounds, Sen Bunthen, the 27-year-old Kompong Cham native, had earned a huge upset decision over veteran Ot Phutang.
That’s the cover of the April edition of The Globe. (It’s Thun Sophea.) Virginie Noel has the photos and story.Unfortunately, The Globe doesn’t have a web site. The only way to get the story is to download the pdf. It’s a big file: 12MB. If you’re outside Cambodia things like that don’t matter so much.
Today was Po Vansak vs Chey Sinith and Kao Rumchang vs Nuon Mony. I am not sure if Sinith was sick or just convinced he couldn’t win, but he didn’t put up much of a fight and the referee called a stop to the fight in the opening seconds of the fourth round and awarded [...]
The Nationals are being held at Olympic Stadium this year. Same as last year, there’s two rings, one for the A division and one for B. B-division is in a hot, cramped room just barely big enough for a ring. A-division is in a large, comfortable hall the size of an airplane hanger. Day 1 [...]
Inside of three weeks, Chey Ratana, pictured, has beaten two of the top four Kun Khmer champions. Two weeks ago it was a point decision over Seung Kangsan at CTN. This past weekend, Ratana stopped Khun Makara in a stunning first round KO.
(PHOTO: Don’t know the guy’s name. He fought a good fight. Lost on points. As per usual, stitches with no anesthesia.)
In other notable news, it appears that Bheut Kam is back on the circuit. After losing to Lao Sinath a few weeks back, Kam came back for a rematch two weeks ago, which he won [...]
