Liam Harrison stops Andrei Kulebin at “The Main Event in Manchester” – RESULTS
This past weekend, England’s Liam Harrison further cemented himself as one of the worlds top fighters after he dismantled highly respected Andrei Kulebin with vicious leg kicks en route to a TKO win in Rd. 3 of their bout at “The Main Event Manchester” event in the UK. Throughout the fight Kulebin struggled to mount any sort of offense against the Bad Company Gym standout. As Kulebin tried to get his offense started, Harrison would consistently counter with vicious low kicks or attack with a series of combinations that would end with low kicks to the inside and outside of Kulebins legs. Towards the end of round two, it was apparent that Harrison’s kicks were beginning to take their toll on the talented Belarussian. In round 3, Harrison unleashed a barrage of leg kicks for everyone of Kulebin’s attempted attacks and at about 30 seconds into the third round Harrison struck with a quick jab low kick combo that ended the fight as Kulebin limped to his corner seeming to motion to the referee that he could not continue. It was a very impressive performance by Harrison as he made Kulebin look like a far less threat than he truly is. Kulebin has and is considered a top fighter in the world, most recently winning the WKN’s Big 8 Tournament in his home country of Belarus. However, on this night Harrison simply put on a masterful performance to further lay claim that he is the top foreign nakmuay in … Continue reading

Not only does the show have an 8 man 59kg tournament that could headline any show, but it also has a main card filled with big names in UK Muay Thai such as Andy Thrasher, Davy Macintosh, Jordan Calder, Gordon Smith etc. Andy Thrasher is going from strength to strength in his stint out in Thailand, most recently winning the Toyota Marathon 8-man tournament. Andy first faced a Ugandan opponent and then a Mexican fighter in his second fight, winning both bouts on points. In the final, he faced Lumpini No. 1 ranked fighter Prakeyseng Sit Or and won by KO in round 2! Andy is now 300,000 Baht richer and more confident than ever for his upcoming bout with another famous Thai fighter in Samingprai Kiatphontip. Jordan Calder is one of the biggest prospects coming out of Scotland. At only 18 years of age, Jordan moved up a weight class and had an impressive win over K-Star’s Carl Copestake to capture the ISKA Commonwealth Title. Gordon Smith, a stablemate of Jordans, recently defended his STBA Scottish title with a KO win over Wullie Dempster. The 8-man on this show will be an exciting one to say the least.

Liam Harrison vs Saenchai Sor Sinbi 2 at Duel at The Dome on April 9th, 2011
The long awaited rematch between the UK’s Liam “The Hitman” Harrison vs Saenchai Sor Sinbi is set to take place April 9th, 2011 at the Doncaster Dome in the UK. Fight Sport Industries “Duel At The Dome” promotion will serve as the stage of this epic rematch! Saenchai took the first fight on points, but I have to say that having seen the first fight, I think Liam put on what is possibly one of the best performances I have seen from any foreign nakmuay that has had the honor of facing off with the Muay Thai great. In the first fight, the pair went toe to toe in a very technical and exciting fight that saw Liam Harrison matching Saenchai’s infamous cartwheel kick with one of his own! There is a lot of mutual respect between these guys. Saenchai has stated that Liam Harrison is currently one of his favorite foreign nakmuays and knows that Liam always comes prepared and ready to fight. You can be sure both fighters are training incredibly hard in preparation for this long anticipated rematch! In my opinion, Liam Harrison is currently one of the best foreign nakmuays on the planet and if anyone can give Saenchai some problems, it’s Liam. Expect fireworks, as Liam goes for the KO with his always dangerous hands and crisp Thai style, while Seanchai looks to solidify his already legendary status of Muay Thai deity! Either way, this is a fight featuring two of the sports greatest! Other … Continue reading
