Slamm!! VII “Holland vs Thailand” – 27 may 2011 – Sporthal Stedenwijk, Almere

On Sunday the 27th of May 2012, Almere will once again become the stage for the new edition of “Holland vs Thailand. After a period of absence this concept will once again return to the Dutch soil. In November 2009 part VI was organised in the Top Sport hall of Almere, were the audience was able to enjoy four top fights, and in addition to this the “Best of Holland” programme. Anuwat Kaewsamrit was not able to conquer the role of audience favorite against the upcoming talents Mohamed Khamal and Mosab Amrani, who had a fight against Anuwat one year earlier, surprisingly knocked out Bovy sor Udomsorn in the first round. Finally it all ended in a draw for Thailand. The unapproachable Saiyok Pumphangmuang who fought for the first time on a Slamm!! Event made sure that Warren Stevelmans didn’t have a lot to bring into the fight. One year earlier, during his re-entrée, Fikri Tjarti also had to acknowledge Saiyok as his master, who at the moment still remains undisputed outside Thailand. Also the well-known Yodsaenklai Fartex won an impressive fight on points against Khalid Bourdif.

In the period of absence the organisation was often requested when the next Slamm!! Event would be organised. After a re-organisation the composition changed and behind the scenes the organization has worked very hard to bring back this concept. The goal was and will always be to bring the absolute top from Thailand to the Netherlands and to have them fight on full Muay Thai rules against Dutch opponents. In that same way the Dutch audience was a witness to the fact that Slamm!! was the organization who promoted top fighters such as Buakaw por Pramuk, Saenchai Sor Kingstar, Koaklai Kaennorasing, Saiyok Pumphangmuang, Yodsaenklai Fairtex, Anuwat Kaewsamrit, Bovy sor Udomsorn and Samranchai 96Penang on Dutch soil for the first time. The composition of the Thai delegation changed throughout the years, but the goal remained the same and the audience was treated with absolute top Muay Thai fights. Due to this Slamm!! is being acknowledged by the connoisseurs as the “favorite.” Not only the Thai fights guaranteed this, but also the composition of the remaining fights caused a lot of buzz. Also the hit between Joeri Mes and Andy Souwer has become a classic in the mean time. Due to this way of match-making Slamm!! has become the Dutch promoter of full Muaythai both locally as well as abroad.

For part VII, which is now planned to be held in the Sporthal Stedenwijk in Almere, Slamm!! has a lot in store once again. We are going back to the roots, especially since the first Slamm!! event was also held in this location where Marco Pique fought against Buakaw Por Pramuk. In a sold out hall this huge matchmaking should once again be achievable. Instead of launching the entire matchmaking we have decided that this time the promotion of the event will be combined with a contest. We hereby launch a number of names of the fighters of the “Holland vs Thailand” and the “Best of Holland” programme. The person who is able to put together the entire matchmaking of “Holland vs Thailand”, in else the four fights, will be the winner of two free entrance cards. To prevent any confusions, there are 12 fighters, of which 4 will not fight in the “Holland vs Thailand” programme, but who will participate in the “Best of Holland” programme. Put together the list in this topic and who knows you might be one of the first to win two cards.
