Rise and fall of the great warrior

Kaoklai Kaennorsing "was the first Thai K-1 Grand Prix winner at Seoul in July of 2004 at only 176lbs, beating fighters of 195 and 216lbs in the process. As well as winning the GP in seoul, two of Kaoklai's other great moments in K-1 came as he demonstrated the true attributes of a great Muay-Thai fighter. Beating the giant 6'5, 258lbs Belarussian Alexey 'the Red Scorpion' Ignashov to a decision over 4 gruelling rounds and his spectacular 1st round KO over the American Mighty Mo weighing in at 273lbs!

Kaoklai has proved time again that being the smallest fighter is no disadvantage by mastering the art of Muay-Thai; with bone shattering, lightning fast techniques and exhibitng immense levels of conditioning and endurance." (from Wikipedia)
