Results and Recap: M-One "Team Thailand vs. Team America"
by Faye Lucas
Los Angeles, CA -- Club Nokia played host to M-One's "Team Thailand vs. Team America" on Friday night. Representing the United States were Kevin Ross, Joe Schilling and Romie Adanza; the Thai team was composed of Sakkedao Petchpayathai, Kaoklai Kaennorsing and Langsuanlek Sasiprapa. It was a best of three and America had an opportunity to make a statement and that is exactly what they did.
The night's first American vs. Thai fight featured Kevin Ross against Sakkedao and as expected Ross came out looking to make a statement early. His boxing looked crisp as he worked the body for Sakkedao, which he then used to set up his attacks up high. Sakkedao seemed to be playing the feeling out game early on, but for Ross it was business from the first bell. At the start of the second round Sakkedao began to pick up the pace as he began to press some of the action and score with knees and elbows, especially in the clinch. Ross was more than willing to fire back, including a few spinning elbows. As the third round started Ross was bleeding from the bridge of his nose and

Pictures: M-One "Team Thailand vs. Team America" weigh-ins
Scott Hirano was on hand at the weigh-ins for M-One's "Team Thailand vs. Team America". All of the nights fighters looked ready for the action that will take place tomorrow night at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, CA. The "Team Thailand vs. Team America" portion will feature Joe Schilling vs. Kaoklai, Kevin Ross vs. Sakkedao and Romie Adanza vs. Langsuanlek Sasiprapa.
Who wins, Team America or Team Thailand? Predictions for M-One "Team Thailand vs. Team America"
Kevin Ross vs. Sakkedao Petchpayathai - WBC Muay Thai super lightweight world title
Ross goes from a fight with Saenchai to a fight with Sakkedao. While most people would like an easier fight their next time out that isn't the case with Ross, he continues to want to take on the best. Sakkedao has defeated Saenchai twice, but as Ross has stated, it doesn't matter because they are both different and the fact that they both have fought Saenchai is a mute point.
Romie Adanza - From Sparring Dummy to Champion
It is safe to say that some 13 years ago Adanza probably wouldn't have predicted he would be considered one of the best American Muay Thai fighters, let alone be representing the country along with Kevin Ross and Joe Schilling against some of Thailand's top fighters.

Pictures: Kaoklai Kaennorsing training for Joe Schillling
Scott Hirano was on hand for Muay Thai Authority at Sasiprapa Gym in Rancho Cucamonga, CA to capture Kaoklai Kaennorsing performing a light workout a few days before his fight with Joe Schilling at M-One's "Team Thailand vs. Team America". Kaoklai will headline the event against Schilling and is expected to be the toughest test of Schilling's career thus far.
12 Rounds with Kevin Ross
by Flip English
On October 21st Kevin Ross will be fighting the dangerous Sakkedao Petchpayathai, the last man to beat his previous opponent, Muay Thai legend Saenchai SinbiMuayThai. No doubt this fight will be another grinder for Ross, a gritty test for his rugged reputation. Anytime a fighter is coming off a loss there is that added pressure to win the next one to keep the career afloat, but if your last fight was with Saenchai and your next bout with Sakkedao, I can imagine how this could be for Ross like a tornado dropping him on the path of torrential typhoon, or exiting a burning building only to enter a raging street riot outside. But before Ross crosses the Green Zone and into combat again, he is still in the eye of the hurricane, still in the calm between the old storm that was Saenchai and the new struggle that will be Sakkedao. So how is he doing? Is this training period enough time to repair the damages and prepare retaliation for a loss? We will see. Two weeks before his next performance at the M-One event at the Nokia Club in Los Angeles, Kevin grants MuayThaiAuthority.com an interview where he and I go for a dozen rounds of questioning.

Knees of Fury 34 results: Team Australia sweeps Team America
Knees of Fury 34 took place in Australia on September 16th in what was dubbed as Team KOF Australia vs. Team America MMA. The Muay Thai show featured two notable American Muay Thai fighters in WBC Muay Thai Super Heavyweight International Champion Steven "Panda" Banks and William "The Bull" Sriyapai. The third fighter rounding out "Team America" was Jon Owens who mainly fights MMA. Team Australia featured Paul Slowinski, Kym Johnson and Myles Simpson, all three proved to be too much for "Team America" as each stopped their American opponent before the final bell.
Slowinski and Banks punished each other for three rounds before a body shot ended Banks night. The loss is the first of Banks Muay Thai career, he had won his first thirteen fights. Sriyapai was stopped in the fourth round by Johnson after the referee had seen enough and stepped in to keep him from taking any more punishment. Owens was a victim of Simpson's leg kicks as the damage mounted up and eventually he could not continue.
