Saenchai Fight List

 Saenchai was drawn into the world of Muay Thai at 8 years of age.  After seeing his friend's older brother win a prize for a Muay Thai match, he decided to begin training.  After only a week of training, he took his first match and won the equivalent of $1 in prize money.

Saenchai began fighting in Bangkok when he was just 14 years of age.  At this time he had transferred to Kamsing gym.  Kamsing paid 300,000 Baht for the transfer fee.  This is the reason that Saenchai's ring name was Saenchai Sor Kamsing.

After about two years of training, when Saenchai was 16 years of age, he won the illustrious Lumpinee stadium championship at super flyweight.  Two years later, in 1999 he won the title again when he was 18 at bantamweight.

In 2002, he turned briefly to boxing and earned the PABA title after defeating Rud 4K Kevkatchewon in 2003 for the title.  His time in boxing would be short-lived as he transitioned back to Muay Thai again in 2004.

Saenchai would eventually leave his home gym of Khamsing over a disagreement regarding fights in Japan.  He would transition to Kingstar gym.

In 2009, Saenchai fought two different Muay Thai fighters in the same bout at Lumpinee stadium.  During the first three rounds, he fought against Petchboonchu FA Group.  During the fourth and fifth rounds he fought against Sagetdao Petpayathai.  Saenchai was awarded the unanimous decision after this fight.

In March of 2010, Saenchai knocked out Tetsuya Yamato from Japan to win the vacant world lightweight title sanctioned by the Muay Thai Association of America.  Saenchai would knock out his opponent with a left high kick.
