Wot happened in the last one?? That's not the ref is it??

Must have caught a big elbow breaking up the clinch :-0

FB'Slim

Thats Kaoponglek v JCS,Frankie is fighting him very soon i think he will do it good luck from the Nongkee boys Frank.

who is that landing the upper cut on eval?

i'd forgotten about that pic of me... I had it as my screensaver for a while! :)
cheers colin!

some great pics there.

Whos's he fighting JCS or Kaoponglek? I don't see him beating JCS and hasn't he already been stopped by Kaoponlek?

Good spot Vinny

The uppercut is Chris Allen

He got cut and its Kaoponglek he is fighting not JCS says he is raring to go and i also was told by the promoter when i was there he was winning the fight,they asked for a rematch as it was a great fight for the fans.

correct franky worked a lot on the weak parts to his game in thailand last time and is now a lot stronger than before

What's Chris Allen up to these days ?

I trained with him very briefly on Kho Pha Ngan about 5 years ago, not heard from him since .

Any offers ?

Cheers

How was the training on Koh Pha Ngan, I have thought about going.

Not bad at all to be honest. Farang run gym but very good tuition. That was 5 years ago though.
Nice place to go and stay and great place if you're into dance music as well.

Cheers

Firstly thanks for the memories!I watched Peter Hopkins fight many times and he was one of the first English fighters to take on and realy fight "Thai style" I know that people often talk about the old days as better than now but i think the one thing we had back then was innocence!The thing to remember that in the 90s when Thais came over to fight it was all brand new to us ,exciting for the fighters and exciting for the fans.

Also have you been through my home phota albumn!There are four of my trainers one of my best friends and one of my heroes on those photos!!!!

Here's an old photo........it's been on before but some may not have seen it.......

FB'Slim

I have seen that one many times.......................the little box with the cross in it.

Rdouble,

I take it you cannot see it??? It is there.........I can see it.

FB'Slim

no cant..............explain it in 50 words or less he he

I can see it Fatboy.... I've got it on P.C Too from 3 years ago.

Peter is awesome and is a perfect gent as is Colin Hopkins too.

curtosy of colin i believe....

theres an old guy in this picture!!! :) LOL

Jesus MR C how old is that jordon looks about 10 and mark is slim,lol

Check out andys sideburns haha.

mest b old, mr C had abs!

Vinny recon you have some old photos!!!How about some of the Vinster himself fighting?

got abs now, thaisoon ya cheeky bugga! :)

Cadden is the only one who hasnt aged from that photo.

He looked 45 then!























bbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (sound of a machine gun)

I have always looked old...same as wily the high school handy man on the simpsons!!!! :)



PS I pack a sniper rifle not a machine gun....I'll get ya from miles away!

Noi dont put yourself down you dont look like mr Burns from the Simpsons that much!

"I used to be much stronger"

Lol...what when the hoods over the camera and the big flashes,Olivers got one me and him in his gym with me with a black eye and hair like Tom baker.

Have to agree with Rdouble about when Thais 1st started coming over on Toddys show and Master skens it was magical really as the crowd really wanted our boys to win as they was up against it guess we are a bit spoilt now.

the Muaysiam cover is of Muu Haapalang who was shot dead at ringside. He was a major underworld figure and had several top boxers under his control such as Chamuekpetch Haapalang and Panomthuenleek Haapalang. If you have the best of Songchai sereis 2 vcd the fight it happened in is on it. It was between Langsuan Panyuthapoom and Chamuekpetch Haapalang and the assasination takes place at the end of the 4th round. On the cd Songchai explains about what happens and you hear the gunshots at the end.

Sorry i've not replied. Been away doing the three peaks challenge. It makes your legs ache :-)

Rdouble. Got more. Thanks for the comments on Peter.

Ta Vinny. Much appreciated. Seeya soon.

some quality pics on here

WCN v Leveque

Nokweed Davy

Angelo Dundee, Julie Cross and Me (..dont laugh!)

Danny Bille and Budgie just before Budgie fought Abel El Quandili in Paris

Bit of a trademark knee for WCN that eh Colin?

Diesel Noi

My favourite fighter!Orono!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!orono orono orono!!!!!!

Now there is a fighter to admire tough and tallented and a truly dedicated trainer and so so humble too.

Pudpad Noi

Colin jackson getting kneed by Wanchanoi.

aw pudadnoi do a demmo in France back in the early ninetees still amasing then>Mind you a terrible ref!Not because he was not skilled but too emotional he he,saw him shouting eeeh eeeh when a Thai was fighting Gilbert Ballentine on the show In France.Strange there is a picture of Danny Bill because on that same show a 16 year old Danny won by ko.(he was the new boy then)

What were the results of the fights on the two posters up the top?

pudpadnoi alltime great

Best kicker ever i was told.

wasnt that apeidej?

noi666, I've heard the same. Apidej was the best kicker ever.

I think Pudpad noi had the most beutiful kicks(obviously devistating) Apidej was a brutal armbreaker.

Songchai said about Nampon nongkee pahuyuth same too.

Namphon was heavy or beutiful kicker?

Excuse my ignorance but is that the numphon that fought Dekkers...im thinking not?

the very same fighter Rdouble and brother to another top fighter Namkabuan Nongkeepahuyuth

Namkabuan is my favourite ever he was the boy,go on Coxy throw in Samart lol.

:) Namkabuan is one of my favorites also, but Samart technically was something special!

Samart was the daddy of teeps lets not also forget krongsak another awesome kicker this is doing my head in as ive loads of old photos and pics and cant sodding find em .

Namkabuam is Numohons brother! I didnt know that,man hate to see a family dispute!

Tat2 ..........................find them!!!

Dokmai pahs brother also imagine being there Dad and they was giving ya cheek.

I'm an idiot with photoshop, sorry for the triple post and funny sizing.

Dokmai Pah what a left kick.....Pickets lock centre.Leroy Atkinson.........Sombat.......Ronnie Green.jumpers for goalposts.

NOI - what book is that from? Looks like an awesome book would love to get hold of it. Thanks for posting!

Interesting how fashon changes aswell in the 50s they seemed to wear shorts more like the small mma type we see today,and im sorry but Ghost Tiger is wearing a gym skirt.

They forgot to put his name, Ghost Tiger's name is Sakchai Nakpayak.

I was given this book from someone that went to a Muay Thai Convention in Hong Kong. I believe you may be able to get a copy from Alex Tsui who is the president of the "Khunchieng MuayThai Society". It has lots of history in there, things going on in the international scene throughout the years as well.

Thanks for the info - what is the title of the book?

HongKong Boxing Association Executive Committee
2005-2010
Inauguration Commemorative Issue
Extra Feature: Khunchieng MuayThai Honours Award System

Noi got any more old stuff like thats great or anybody else?
Post more pic's please.

Sweet lovely stuff.

I have an old clipof a fight from what looks like ratchadamnern before the roof was put on but I cant post it here

Wagon wheels were never big, you were just small:)

Noi,thanks for posting the pictures,there is one of my teachers teacher..Pol Phrapradaeng(the wild boar),awesome thanks.

Colin keep em coming,wicked bro.

Colin,
Steve Scott trained in my mma class at the Wolfslair last week. I did a double take when he walked in. He is a little bit older now but still has skills.

A little bit older, does he age slower than us? :-)
Good luck to him.

Dave, did anyone ever get a vdo of the All Star Promotion that i've posted above?

Dave,say hello to Steve Scott from me please.

He is coming back to train next week as he is workin in the area for a while. I promise I will get a pic of me and "young Steve"!

I will say hello from you Paul

Quality thread this. When was the Bad Co pic taken? Also, whats the craic with Mark Lee, saw him fight on Master Skens shows a few time, looked very handy indeed.

The last time I saw Mark Lee was a few months ago when I was cycling home from work and he overtook me on his bike. It'll be some time over winter but I can't remember exactly when. Haven't seen him down at Bad Co for ages.

Personally I'm interested to know when Dave Jackson had hair, and what the woman kneeling next to the Thai in red shorts is about to do.

Thanks Dave,and yeah when did you have hair?:)

Did anyone ever get a vdo of the All Star Promotion? (program picture above)
