It was back once again - the biggest Muay Thai event in UK. The highly-anticipated YOKKAO 29 - 30 returns to Bolton Macron Stadium on March 10th for the best Muay Thai action. It was a night of vicious knockouts, gruelling battles, class acts and always a display of true martial arts spirit.
With each fight, it was non-stop action right from the first bell to the last. The entire evening was an insane all-out war that kept the audience at the edge of their seats. This was something that cannot be compared as even fights in Thailand tend to have real action that begins only in the third and fourth rounds. YOKKAO UK has truly upped the ante and set a new industry standard for which to follow.
YOKKAO 29: Jonathan Haggerty KOs Keith McLachlan[/caption]
Jonathan Haggerty and Keith McLachlan went into the YOKKAO 29 main event in a fight that was expected to go to the judges. It was a battle for the top UK ranking and neither of them was going to give up the spot. The exchange escalated quickly with the bell but ended almost just as rapidly with a finish that no one saw coming. Jonathan dropped Keith by a head kick to seal the deal in round 2, winning via a vicious KO.
YOKKAO 30: Singdam win by points[/caption]
Singdam made his UK fight debut way back at YOKKAO 15 where he defeated local hero, Liam Harrison. After over 2 years of absence, he returned to British soil with the same conviction but it is worth noting that the fight was almost a no-show. Singdam had injured his leg 10 days before the fight, and the doctor’s order was for him to drop out of the fight. That went against the Thai spirit of not backing down and he continued to train minus the lower limbs workouts. He reasoned that he did not want to upset the fans and that he would only call off the fight if he can’t walk. A true embodiment of what it means to be a Nak Muay.
So the fight went ahead and the Black Lion was up against the talented Jack Kennedy who had held an undefeated record on his last 5 YOKKAO UK outings. As the main event of the night, the resulting fight that ensued was every bit as intense as was promised. After 5 rounds of ferocious action and hard-fought war, the Black Lion proved to be the more experienced and better of the 2 with a win via decision.
Time after time, YOKKAO has shown why it is the eminent Muay Thai promotion in the world and this was no exception. It has the slickest production, top fighters, and the strongest Muay Thai community who come together to make it work. YOKKAO 29 - 30 is now the talk of the town, with many fans marveled by the increasingly high standards of the fights.
With yet another resounding success, preparations are already underway for a series of exciting YOKKAO events coming up over the next few months. Besides the YOKKAO Next Generation and Kids events, the Official YOKKAO UK Open will light up on 14-15th in the month of April. The event details will be announced in a separate news to follow.
