Saenchai (born July 30, 1980), formerly known as Saenchai Sor. Kingstar (Thai: แสนชัย ส.คิงสตาร์), is a Thai Muay Thai kickboxer. He won the Lumpinee Championship title in four different weight divisions, along with the WMC and WBC World titles, while mostly fighting above his natural weight; therefore he is considered one of the best pound for pound Muay Thai fighters in the world. Saenchai often gives up 5 lbs. + in weight to find worthy opponents in Thailand. Against foreigners the skill is so far apart he will go up as high as 147 pounds, which is 15+ pounds above his best weight. He is known for having excellent ring vision and speed.

[edit] Biography

[edit] Early career

Saenchai started learning Muay Thai when he was 8 years old. He decided to start learning Muay Thai in Jockey gym when his friend's elder brother received prize after boxing bout. He debuted after training in 1 week, and he won his first bout with decision. He received 30 Baht(≒$1).

He started fighting in Bangkok when he was 14 years old. And then, he transferred to Kamsing gym owned by Somluck Kamsing. Kamsing paid 300,000 Baht as a transfer fee. This is the reason Saenchai's ring name was "Saenchai Sor.Kamsing".

When he was 15, Saenchai won the title of Lumpinee stadium championship at super flyweight.When he was 18, he won the title of Lumpinee stadium championship at bantamweight.

[edit] Turning to boxing

In 2002, Saenchai turned to boxing. He debuted as "Sangpetch Patanakan Gym" at featherweight. He fought against Rud 4K Kevkatchewon from Philippines to challenge the vacant interim title of PABA on November 27, 2003, and he won the title with unanimous decision. In January 2004, he retained his PABA title against Rud.

In 2004, he decided to go back to Muay Thai again.

[edit] Discord with Khamsing

Saenchai visited Japan twice to fight and Khamsing agreed at those times, but Khamsing disagreed the 3rd time. Although Khamsing tried to stop Saenchai from going to Japan, he went there with some Muay Thai fighters from another gym. For this incident, Khamsing broke off relation with Saenchai, and Saenchai moved to Kingstar gym. At this time, Khamsing received 300,000 Baht from Kingstar gym as a transfer fee. [1] On July 3, 2006, Saenchai fought against Sang-Soo Lim from Korea in Japan. Saenchai was going to fight against Shinya Ishige but he was replaced two weeks earlier as he had been injured during training. Lim was taller 21 cm and heavier 10 kg than Saenchai but Saanchai knocked out Lim at 2R with right hook.[2]

On July 3, 2009, Saenchai fought against two muay thai fighters in the single bout at Lumpinee stadium. During 1 to 3 round, he fought against Petchboonchu F.A. Group. Petchboonchu tried to attack aggressively at 1R, but Saenchai carried throughout his stamina-saving style and broke Petchboonchu's balance several times. During 4 to 5 round, Saenchai fought against Sakeddaow Petchpayathai. Saenchai　controlled his critical distance with front-kicks and middle-kicks and he threw telling blows more than Sakeddaow did. The referee announced Saenchai's victory with unanimous decision after 5R.

[edit] Winning world title

Saenchai vs Tetsuya Yamato on March 2010.

On March 14, 2010, Saenchai fought against Tetsuya Yamato from Japan to challenge the vacant world lightweight title sanctioned by Muay Thai Association of America (MTAA) in Los Angeles. Saenchai knocked out Yamato with left high kick at 1R, and won the MTAA title.

[edit] First loss to a foreigner

On January 21, 2012 Saenchai lost for the first time against a foreigner in Muay Thai rules. The fight took place in Milan Italy against top foreign Thai boxer, Fabio Pinca. Saenchai had beaten Pinca years earlier, but this time Pinca was bigger and better. Despite going all the way up to 145, Saenchai still put up a good fight, but by the 3rd round the size difference was starting to pay off for Pinca. He used his strength to tie Saenchai up and win a close but controversial decision. Saenchai's streak of 20 or more straight wins against foreign fighters was snapped.
