Adul Srisothorn "The Diamond Crown Champ"
BOXING TRAINING: Adul's first trainer was Kru Uthai Palatanya. At 14, Adul had his first bout at a make-shift ring at Bang Pakong District in his hometown province. Heading for the capital, Adul had his first Bangkok bout at Rajadamnern Stadium, using the boxing name "Adul Benjamasis" and KO'ed his opponent from the Suksawadi Camp, Petchaboon

Province. After this, he had Boonsong Kijklamsuan as his manager and began to use "Adul Srisotorn" as his boxing name ever since. Adul Srisotorn was a perfect model of what a boxer should be. He had the. combined skills, politeness, and forte. His calm temperament shone both in and out of the ring, the respectable quality that won him great popularity. Win or lose, Adul always received thunderous applause and deafening cheer from his fans. His name guaranteed a ticket sell out. With Adul, organizers would not know the word loss. Adul's fight represented the genuine Muay Thai art of self-defense. When Adul's time passed and he quit boxing, many Muay Thai fans simply quit going to the stadium altogether.


With a total of more than 200 bouts to his credit, Adul was a remarkable boxer in both Muay Thai and international-style boxing. As for Muay Thai, he won as many as six championship titles of various divisions. When he was in the Flyweight division, Adul outcored Sa-ngob Roongpanoo and won the "Golden Glove" championship title. He gained his alias from his point victory over Kirisak Barbos in the "Lord of the Land" championship contest. He won a diamond studded pin and was called the Diamond Crown Boxer ever since. In this division, Adul was also champion of the "King of the Land" contest by outscoring Adisak Kwangmeechai.


In the Featherweight division, Adul was champion of the Lumpini Stadium with a point victory over Isarasak Pantainorasingha. He was also champion of Lumpinni Stadium's Lightweight division by outscoring Danchai Yontrakij. He won the championship of the same division of the Rajadamnern Stadium from a point victory over Adisak Kwangmeechai.


His boxing skills equally shone in the international style boxing ring. He was Lightweight champion of the Rajadamnern Stadium by KO Danchai Yontrakit in the seventh round. The most important of his life was in 1963 when he TKO'ed Adisak ltti-anuchit in the 8th round of the match before His Majesty the King who gave him the Royal trophy for his victory. He was also no.8 contender for world champion of this division for some time.


Adul had his last Muay Thai bout on October 18, 1968. After being outscored by his opponent Mongkoldej Pitakchai, Adul declared his decision to hang up his gloves. A college graduate, Adul joined the police force after he finished his studies while pursuing his cherished Muay Thai career at tile same time. On February 10, 1976 the fateful day came. The 34-year-old Police Lieutenant Adul drove along the Asian Highway. The car overturned and what was left of this Diamond Crown Boxer was only his name to remember him by."

Vicharnnoi Porntawee "The Immortal Boxer"

Trained by Chaleao Tinnamora who was his first mentor when he was a boy As a young boy he took up his first boxing name of Vicharnoi Srimuangnont. He started his boxing career in 1960 weighing 47 kilograms and continued to box until he was 34. He officially hung up his gloves in 1981. During his twenty-year boxing career, from a thin small boy to a

Lightweight champion, Vicharnnoi changed his camp three times. He started with "Srimuangnont", then switched to "Porntawee", before finally joining the "Petchyindee" camp where he stayed until the end of his boxing career.
Altogether, he has boxed in more than one hundred matches.
The combination of his high-skills and his extraordinarily long prime in the boxing ring when compared to other boxers accounted for his being named the "Immortal Boxer".


Vicharnnoi won public admiration as a real fighter. He has a lengthy fighting history and great success to his credit. He was a three-time champion of Thai boxing, a Flyweight champion of both stadiums and a Junior Lightweight champion of Rajadamnern Stadium.


A highly skilled fighter, his bout always guaranteed an exciting match for boxing fans. This is why Vicharnnoi often appeared in the crowd-drawing leading pair in various charity matches. Sometimes he had to fight an opponent more than 10 pounds heavier than himself. But one thing the crowd could be sure of, Vicharnnoi always gave his best. Win or lose, Vicharnnoi always impressed his fans with his guts and style.

This "Immortal Boxer" has one special characteristic. He only agreed to fight when he felt he was physica!ly fit. With'the slightest hint of not being at his peak condition, Vicharnnoi would ask to postpone his fight fearing he would give his fans less than his best. And he admitted his worst fear was to be booed out of the ring by his fans. His fears were well-justified. He had earlier been dismissed from the ring twice for not fighting up to his honour. The rumours that Vicharnnoi had been "bought" was later cleared. He was simply not physically fit enough to give a good fight.


Vicharnnoi was an exceptional model to other boxers. From a humble origin, the poor boy with only a primary school education has successfully built himself up to be a highly respectable figure in his community. Financially, he also operates a successful business, set up with his hardearned savings. And socially, Vicharnnoi has been elected municipality council member of the Nonthaburi Province for several terms up to the present. Indeed, his success is certainly not confined to the boxing ring.


But the love of boxing is in his blood. Even after he has quit professional boxing, Vicharnnoi still cannot divorce himself from the boxing circle. With money to support his devotion to boxing, he has set up a boxing camp of his own which he named "Vicharnnoi Store." And his store has produced several young boxers who seem to be well on their way to their own prominence.
He said: "Thai boxing is. an art' of self-defence and a profession which can yield fruitful and fulfilling results. It is a national heritage we Thai people should cherish and protect with utmost love ....Forever.

Well I think it's safe to say Vicharnnoi liked a scrap! Good old clips Vic, good fighter although he's not really my cup of tea stylewise.

Amazing really he seems to have had a succesful career with his only weapons seeming to be his heavy hands. He looks uncomfortable when thowing anything except his mitts and maybe a few low kicks and even they look a bit pinched, surprising lack of elbows considering how he steamrolls in with his fists. Odd in his bio you posted that he didn't move over to boxing Muay Sakorn with his hands being so heavy and his primary weapons.

In the last clip of him it's a great example to the powers of recovery alot of Thai fighters have. Huasai takes three pretty savage beatings and with what look like horse hair 6oz gloves and gets up each time straight away!!!!!!!!

Great stuff yaca....

Love this, a Young Dieselnoi Chor Thanasukarn:

http://message.axkickboxing.com/imag...gdieselnoi.jpg

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Dieselnoi held the belt for over 4 years… it was apparently very difficult to get him any fights and was the primary reason for his retirement. Won of his challengers who also came up short was another Muay Thai legend Samart Pakayaroon. Dieselnoi was a lanky fighter and was widely regarded to have the most devastating knee attacks in Muay Thai.

Titles:
1985 Lumpinee Stadium Lightweight champion
1984 Lumpinee Stadium Lightweight champion
1983 Lumpinee Stadium Lightweight champion
1982 Lumpinee Stadium Lightweight champion
1981 Lumpinee Stadium Lightweight champion

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Dieselnoi was the undefeated lightweight champion of Lumpinee stadium from 1981 until 1985, when he retired. Dieselnoi was forced to retire and stripped from his title only due to the fact that there was no one left to fight him in his division. When in 1982 Dieselnoi had to defend his title against Samart Pyakaroon, it went into the Muay Thai history books as the most important fight the 1980's and the price money of 400.000 bath was at that time unheard of. Like every other fight during that period, Dieselnoi won by outscoring Samart with his trademark knee strikes.

Fighter of the Year in 2011......for the sports writers.....

http://www.muaythai2000.com/muaythai...attanakiat.gif

"Known for his stoic lifestyle and strict training regime, Sam-A said he was humbled to receive the Lumpinee award."

“I am just thankful that I was born with talent to fight Muay Thai. There are hundreds of teenagers in Buri Ram who dream of fighting at Lumpinee Stadium. Winning the stadium’s fighter of the year award is truly a great honour. It makes me feel so proud to be born a Thai and to be able to live the life of Muay Thai.”

Muaythai2000: Who is your most common opponent?
-Sam-A: Yodsaenklai Fairtex, back when he was fighting out of Petchyindee, we fought 7 times."

http://www.siamfightmag.com/images/b...mg_4693%20.jpg

"Sam-A Thor Ratonakiat has been at the top of the fight game for several years now and a constant feature on most of Petchyindee promotions biggest shows. Hailing from Buriram province in Thailand's Northeast, one of the stongest parts of Thailand for producing quality fighters, Sam-A is a tecnical master and possesses one of the most damaging left kicks in the game. Sam-A has held Lumpini titles at 115 and 122 pounds and the Thailand 115 pound title in the past. His razor sharp left leg has seen no lesser fighters than Kompayak Fairtex, Petchboonchu FA Group and Detnarong Sitjaaboon stop in their tracks and he also possesses a very sharp and dangerous punch and elbow that has seen more than a few K.O's come his way."

"The left leg and the punch of Sam-A electrocuted a lot of his opponents. This technical fighter in the devastating power makes left at present the Top 10 of the best fighters all categories confused. It is one of the rare boxers to gain purse today so important as Seanchai and Nong O, both current stars of the Thai circuit. Sam-A beat champions as Yodseanklai Petchyindee, Chatchai Sor Thanayong, Petawang Sean, Petalong Kor Samfai, Deatnarong Sitjaboon, Thong Puideenaidee, Pen Eke Sitnoomnoi (KO), Wutidet Lukbanyai, Rungruanglek Lookprabaht (KO), Phonsanee Sitmonchai, Pakorn Sakyothin, Phettawee Sor Kittichai, Rungphet Wor Sungprapai, Manasak Pinsinchai, Kompayak Fairtex, Petchboonchu FA Group!"
