Very interesting article. What do you expect to happen in this match and what does AAA Sports think about weigh-ins and what was determined for this upcoming fight?

Nong Rose was just starting to get warmed up when the former champion gave up in the third round. While Kompayak showed some aptitude from his glory days, it was the youthfulness of Nong Rose that left him completely overpowered and caused him to gas out quickly.

Morning weigh-ins added some excitement to the fight, but it was a short lived. Nong Rose easily made the 114 lbs weight limit, whereas Kompayak came in at his normal weight of about 130 lbs. The weight difference however was a non-issue for Nong Rose and her team, as they had agreed prior that Kompayak would not have to make weight.

That morning an additional 2 million Baht per side was placed on the fight, solely dependant on whether or not Kompayak could last the full five rounds. This meant that in addition to the 2.5 million already already put down, there would total of 6.5 million Baht riding on the fight.

So, if Nong Rose were to win the fight via decision, her team would lose 500,000 Baht. If she were to win by stoppage, they would take the 6.5 million Baht home. It sounds crazy, but this is Thailand. Unfortunately come fight time almost all bets were off. We are not sure why exactly, but it was it was a smart move by Kompayak’s team. He had no place being in the ring with Nong Rose.

This whole story intrigued and terrified me. I'll have to watch out not to anger overgrown steroid taking ladyboys with masterful skills in Muay Thai as I walk the streets of Bangkok.
