Nong-O vs. Fabio Pinca is the comeback fight of the year in 2018. Why is the world not raving about it?
Nong-O was a 2x fighter of the year & 5x stadium champion who beat everyone in Thailand except Saenchai.
He came back after a 3 year retirement to beat Fabio Pinca - the only western fighter to have a win against Saenchai in Muay Thai. Pinca is the most skilled western Muay Thai fighter of this era… Consider this, Saenchai’s record against western Muay Thai fighters is ~ 140-1.
In this fight, Nong-O displayed grandmaster skillsets. There are many people who look at this fight and think it was close because Pinca is the one moving forward and chucking flurries. They simply haven’t recognized skill yet. The techniques displayed in this fight are extremely difficult to pull off, especially against someone like Pinca. It is subtle, intricate, and requires a ridiculous degree of fight IQ.
I am making this feature because the world has not recognized an extreme display of skill and an amazing comeback fight. Under Muay Thai scoring, Nong-O completely dominated the fight. He possesses the most beautiful style of Muay Thai.
These sequences exist all throughout the fight. If that cannot be read it means that we have a long way to go for skill literacy. Let me show you what I’m reading... Nong-O was ahead of Pinca on every move, take a look yourself.

Hello all, this is the fight I consider "The Comeback Fight of 2018." Nong-O displays the Most Beautiful Style of Muay Thai - the artistic technician style.
I am making this feature because the world has not recognized an extreme display of skill and an amazing comeback fight against arguably the best western Muay Thai fighter of this era. Under Muay Thai scoring, Nong-O completely dominated the fight.
These sequences exist all throughout the fight. If that cannot be read it means that we have a long way to go for skill literacy. Let me show you what I’m reading... Nong-O was ahead of Pinca on every move, take a look yourself.

The people who think Pinca won are scoring it like a MMA fight not a Muay Thai fight. Those that know, understand the school Nong-O put down that night, trust me!!!
@@postypower hope so, but I think its ridiculous that so many people in the west think forward movement means control and is scored as such
@@@postypower was it a true rules Muay Thai fight or Kickboxing fight?
@@@LawrenceKenshin the reason the people from the west think this way is because in Muay Thai just like in western boxing the rules seem to rotate or lets just say tweak depending on fighter or judges

You teach me how to watch fights
thank you bro means a lot
thought the same lol
Many can watch a fight , few can understand the fights intricacies. Almost none can actually go In the ring and replicate it. Be the one to humble yourself and remain student even when a master. You will do things only your own eyes can see
When your friend say "They arent even punching lol" but you are seeing every little feint, from mind games and movement.
wise words. agreed.
The fact that Fabio Pinca is the one out of 141 people to beat Saenchai out o westeners and Nong-O defeated him after 3 years of retirement, is INSANE.
And he only beat him when he had a 12 kilo advantage.
Everyone applauds the fighters but Kenshin has such an eye for styles and technical details. If I was a pro fighter I would pay him to breakdown all my opponents and their weak points.
Karma Mingyur thx for the support bro 🙏🙏
maybe he is good in that but what he said in the video is something that everyone with some knowloedgmtn in muay thai knows.
@@danildh Shut up hater.. 👎
Overlooked even more, if Kenshin is this observant and versed, how great of a fighter may they truly be?
@@parryitchansamone7548 think of him as a coach, rather than a practitioner or a fighter.
Love how fabio is smiling mid sweep as to say "well played"
he knew how high level it was and how difficult it is to pull if off, especially against himself!
Hoedt u voor de snelle lage trappen.sweep that lowkick, at the right place,just above the knee
Noob played
ขอบคุณที่ทำวีดีโอให้ชาวต่างชาติ
ได้รู้จักและชื่นชอบมวยไทยมากยิ่งขึ้น
คนกดถูกใจเยอะมาก thanks you
I watched this fight I don't know h0w many times, yet I didn't realize everything that went into that sweep. So much happened so fast, that the beauty of the sweep overshadowed everything that went into making it happen...
Amazing breakdown as always!!!
Thank you bro, I'm so happy I can do this for fighters and fans. Your support and comment means a lot
This is Muay-Thai.
No need to rush
No need to fear
Just feel it right.

I love your videos! Educating the fan base is what combat sports needs to grow in popularity. I remember watching your Mike Zambidis video on how to fight taller fighters and it completely changed the way I look at fighting... far more Art than meets the novice eye. The beat at the start of the video was hard AF too!
Thank you bro this means a lot to me. I hope I can continue to do this for you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the art I'm trying to present.
You’re welcome! Have you ever thought about doing a fight analysis podcast? That would be great, especially if you could host other analysts from other disciplines like Brendan Dorman, Jack Slack, Lee Wylie, the dude from BJJ Scout... That would be an amazing show!
@@nafdar6 haha not too much into podcasting but Jack does a great job, and Scout is also a friend
Love the beautiful mix with the editing. Light background music that works. Great ringside commentary. All the while still hearing the leg kicks and crowd noise. Perfect mix, let alone the knowledgeable breakdowns as usual. Thank you 🙏
Wurthit 123 means a lot to me bro, thank you for your time
Nong-O is my favorite nak muay and seeing videos about him always brings a tear to my eye.
so happy to be of service to your passion
Coming out of retirement to beat a guy like Pinca is no small feat. Nong O has awesome reflexes and defenses, but what stood out to me here were the effectiveness of his feints. He baited Pinca with them easily and set up his strikes and sweeps. Wonderful. If I'm right, he fights for the Kaiyanghadao gym like Sam A. Happy New Year to you, Lawrence. Keep up the great content!
he really does. his feints are amazing. He used to fight for Petchyinddee and before that Kaiyanghadao
Do we know who he fights under/for now?
@@edgarbleikur1929 under his wife ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Okay I'll leave
@@nall8387 every good man fights for and under his wife; I don't think she owns the gym he trains with though... 55555
I was honored to train with Sam-A and Nong-O in singapore was really nice tho :)
Petchyinddee and Kaiyanghadao gym is related.
I enjoy this fight a lot :)
For me, this is your best video, the cuttings, the analysis, your text and so on...
Best video of all... But every video of yours are great...
Thanks for the passion 🙌🏾
Thai people are so very good people ... they support their parents and are truly honourable!
Robin Small truth
I'm Lao Tai and we respect our parents. Respect for someone older than you is one of the highlights of South East Asian culture.
If their parents had a government pension, they would not. They do it because they will be old one day too. Nothing to do with honor, more with survival. It was the same in Europe 100 years ago. Sorry to disturb your dream :).
Nah not at all
คนชั่วก็มีครับ
@@arnonabuurs7297 yeah sure.....
th-cam.com/video/0sLxe3CqnPE/w-d-xo.html
This touches most Thais.....truth
To be honest, I thought that westerner was an amateur before you introduce him. Man, the first 2 moves are amazing.
Fabio Pinca is the higher tier of western Muay Thai
@@LawrenceKenshin He got thrown around by Nong-o at the start of the video. Making a champion looking like an amateur thats why the misunderstanding.
@@@SilentMover95 the funny part to that is Pinca defeated Seanchai who easily defeated Nong-o crazy isn't it lol
@@omegasquad868 he didnt beat shit it was a bs decision
@@SilentMover95 haha yes but its Nong O!
I live your videos man. This made me feel like i can learn muay thai more easily in a spiritual sense than in an actual fight.
After watching the videos, you gave us an insight of styles that differs. I can now learn Muay thai without feeling like i haven't learned anything even without the ring experience
Thanks, Lawrence, for these wonderful breakdowns. They have really helped me to appreciate the beauty and complexity of Muay Thai.
Dear Lawrence Kenshin...As a Thai guy who really loves Muay Thai...your video is damn awesome!!!! Thank you very much for your hard work and effort!!! Pls keep going. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
thank you for the kind feedback, it means much more to me than you'd think. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for proving again why you are my most respected fight channel. You consistently have an exceptionally high quality of clear, effective analysis and interesting fight footage that surpasses any other channel I've found.
thank you for the support brother!
I love these videos man! Superb job! Keep 'em coming
thank you for your support and your time mate.
Absolute genius of a kicker!
Love your well informed videos keep the vids coming mate!
Happy new year to all fight fans!
happy new year, thank you for your support. much love.
THANK YOU. I was so impressed by Nong O when i watched it live and its a shame that its a relatively obscure fight. This brings justice to it.
Thank you for the support bro
Amazing
i'm a MT beginner that is falling in love with the sport....thanks for the great content that allows me to appreciate its subtleties.
I could watch your channel all day Lawrence. Thank you for what you do.
I sincerely hope in the future your videos get the attention they deserve, because your presentation and analysis of fights is just unparalleled. Hope to see more videos this upcoming year! All the best
thank you for the support bro, happy new year. all the best!
Absolutely beautiful skills from Nong-O. Great video, man, tks.

Sawadee krap. 🙏
Paul T.M thanks for the support bro
Thank you Lawrence Kenshin, for exposing me to more Muay Thai so that I can learn more about and become more interested in this beautiful sport.
Manny the last guy thank you for the kind words and your time 🙏
Watched one of your videos yesterday I’m loving the content keep up the great work
love u!
This was beautiful! Thank you.
thank you bro
Pinto is one of the most dangerous muaythai boxer. He is better than many Thai boxers. If I'm not wrong, he had got the Lumpini champtions. However, Nong-o won with softer style this is how we considering it beautiful and clean. It shows you another dimension of the style. Beautifully and brilliant!
This recall me how somrak fight.
Nong-o is definitely a role model for me. Humble strength. Artistic brutal efficiency..... 👍😎
he's amazing
Oh...excellent fight, I love than you explain each style with details, has learned so much from this video.
Thanks for your analysis. I am learning a lot about the standup game thanks to you.
This an excellent video of an excellent fighter, thank you very much.
means a lot to me, thank you.
Great vid keep em coming
You opened up a new perspective in fighting for me. Thanks a lot bruh
Your videos are educational to say the very least. The analytics you present, make watching the fight, a study in technique, skill, speed and strategy. Thank you for sharing !
thank you bro. means a lot to me
I watched this fight and became obsessed with nong-o. he has some incredibly close fights with saenchai I think were stolen from him in judging. glad you made this video
thank you for the support bro means a lot.
I love this Thai fighter and I love Thailand!
Robin Small me too
🙏🙏🙏💝🇹🇭💯💪👍🤟🌏🙏🙏🙏
Please don't take long breaks in posting your videos. Not cool when you have so many fans. Your break-down of videos and their technical explanations is pure gold.
hahah thank you brother
Thank you sir in all that you do. You've shared a lot of important information in hand to hand combat that an average Joe like myself would not noticed. We all look forward in the direction your headed. Aloha!
These videos are fantastic. 😀
this is how I envisioned someone doing break downs...like how bjj scout does them but for strking...slowed down and detailed. you got a sub my man. amazing content
lowlowseesee thank u bro, scout is a friend and we collaborated early on
@@LawrenceKenshin oh shit you know who bjj scout is? hahah like knowing Banksy and shit. question...does Nong-O train in retirement the whole time or did he only prepare when the fight was announced. regardless, three years off and coming back and doing that is just remarkable, I just want the details. im an mma guy and dont know much about muay thai except for the basic principles and nothing really about the sport. so sorry for the ignorance in advance. also you are welcome, i love seeing how each content creator chooses to convey a message and what they care about. you can tell a lot about a person about what they use to express themselves. this thing is just amazing
Always loved your detailed breakdowns and analysis of fights and fighters! Keep it up! Thanks
He made Pinca look like a prospect just out of Muaythai school! Saenchai will be grateful to Nong-O for his revenge on Pinca, even if it's just vicariously lol
Your videos are to a science good stuff! 🤙🏽🔥
Jamiel Saint Rose thx for the support brother
Love how you have done this video, with slow mo and explain actions
Verry verry intelligent fight eye... absolutelly... one of the best skilled fights ever.. thank u..
Drs.D. De Bruijn thank you for watching bro
Excellent video!! Keep up the good work Lawrence
thank you bro
Fantastic fighter...salute for bringing him to us..
Dogy Don your welcome bro
Amazing great fight thanks for the post!
Thx bro
The way you break it down Lawrence love your channel!
You could see in Pinca’s eyes at the end of the fight. He’s defeated
yes you could tell!
He’s disappointed I’d say. Knows he lost in the eyes of the judges.
like Go master he know himself
i believe he just need a very little polishing on his work..
he could become same good than the bbest thai guys
his lost was very very minor..
He's defeated but not beaten. Neither fighter looked to be knocked out or gasses out, which is typical with tech fighters who have a careful and balanced defense.
Low kicks and leg sweeps are things of beauty, and I do not see very many leg sweepers and throws in Western fighters. Being thrown to the ground takes a lot out of you, even in sparring when your opponent will try to catch you so you don't hit too hard. I feel Western fighters would do well to leg sweep and throw as a matter of course during any part of the fight, but it seems rare.
@Lawrence Kenshin,
Through your insightful analysis, I now can understand the strategy and game plan of Nong O.
Realy instructive. Thanks mr. K!👊
cheers bro!
I love your video! It allowed me to see the beauty you saw and im thankful!
thank you Troy, means a lot to me :)
It’s amazing to see how knowledge and technique can overwhelm the senses.
Thank you for your work. And thank you for this concept of "the matador and the bull"
absolutely amazing
agreed
Underrated channel...yes very underrated
Amazing admiration and respect.
DAMN MAN THESE VIDEOS ARE SO GOOD
german80 thank you bro
@@LawrenceKenshin you're welcome man. I don't wanna sound like a loser hahaha but that video about the fight that changed history might be the video i like the most in TH-cam.
The problem comes when the fighters panic and in this fight the thai fighter was in full control and he was very actively involved in thinking the next moves watching his opponent and adjusting his shots accordingly, this was all possible because he kept the pace of this game down, had the opponent indulged in to the fight too aggressively and would have constantly attacked him he would definitely had to change his plan and would have fought for the survival, but his plan worked and his opponent could not attack him in aggression which resulted in the maestro delivering what he was constantly thinking and doing during the fight, he was enjoying it as the fight was working out his way as he wanted it to be....great work maestro..
WOW... Just amazing display of high level Muay Thai !!!!
I dont know much about fighting, but your videos are always interesting and intriguing, and very well broken down.
Also what is the name of the outro music that you use?
the outro is lawrence kenshin theme song
E P I C. Your Amazing Graphics are as if you can see into their very minds, reading every move perfectly. EXCELLENT Video Production.
RESPECT Earned.
much love !
That was awesome breakdown bro!
thank you bro
Great video as always
Frystak Gustav thank u brother
Not only am I improving my kickboxing, but my eye for beauty in technique. I'm seriously beginning to understand the "Martial art means honestly expressing yourself" part of Bruce Lee's philosophy. Where did you acquire this knowledge?
Thank you for the videos, as they have changed my view on fighting.
Thats 100% my goal, and martial arts is an expression of yourself and your personality and character. I'm so happy that my work can allow you to see this.
Kick boxen. Muay Thai,Kmehr. Myanmar
@@LawrenceKenshin marteling arts , we have got. Midcenturie,NETHERLANDS ,vierendelen ,de ton van huygen ,and manny more ways to torture
really great content...i very much liked it!!
much love
Great video! Nong-O is probably my favorite Thai fighter. He's one of the very few(I cant think of any other at this level) Muay Thai fighters(from thailand) that are orthodox...and since I myself am orthodox I learn alot from watching him(and others, like buakaw). I have a hard time learning technique from southpaws like saenchai. Watching these fighters(orthodox fighters) has helped me tremendously in Muay Thai kickboxing, which Ive been doing for over 2 years now. Helps a ton in sparring, gives me ideas, of both offense and defense.
many top guys orthodox mate, check out samart, somrak, sagat, lerdsila etc. thanks for the support and your time!
Awesome breakdown, fitting of an awesome fight!
thank you bro
Yep a real beauty to watch him fight.
What are the best fighting promotion to watch Muay Thai? I love the art but feel like I miss all these incredible fights constantly and rarely hear any talk leading up to them.
pay attention to One Championship super series
Lawrence Kenshin awesome any others?
@@@Datpiff_Admin look for Thai Tv fights for Muay Thai in its purest form everything else is Kickboxing so for that watch Glory and Bellator
Lion fight promotion
@@jackierobinson1351 no
Nice video Lawrence. Keep them coming in 2019.
thank you bro, will do
Excellent breakdown
thank you
Amazing analysis, subbed
thank you bro
beautiful control. in clinch so assured. counter attack perfection.
Lawrence Kenshin. Keep doing what you do. You're Great at it Man !
Thx brother
That was poetry in motion. Thank you.
thank you for watching!
Nong-O fight style is my favourite of the Thais, his defence is second to none and he has classy foot work similar to Saechais.. body kicks are like whips they come out hit you and come straight back in a smooth motion
his footwork is amazing, Saenchai says ppl can't really move as well nowadays. Nong O is super smooth
Thank you very much for this video Sir 🙏
@@milesy2k7 cheers bro
Thank you, Lawrence Kenshin, your explanations are really an eye opener to me. So far I have seen Muay Thai fights with a minor appreciation. I can see now how much of an ART it is in comparison to boxing or any other Western fighting style. Your videos are definitely brightening my view! By the way: As a result I consider beginning with Muay Thai - and this says something about me 58 year old geezer ;-)
yes it is truly beautiful. I'm so happy that I can do this for you. I hope you give it a try, much love.
Great video man.
thank you brother
Love Nong-O.
My favorite one.
Absolutely beautiful
thank u bro
Wow, I’ve never really gotten a chance to chance to delve into the world of Muay Thai as I’d like to. But this really helped open my eyes even more as to how beautiful it really is. That really was a phenomenal performance.
jermaine ball this is my mission 🙏🙏 thank you for your support and I'm so happy to help you see this
Lawrence Kenshin For sure, my man.
awsome you state which parts of the moves and blows are for or doing. im sure you know about all the training huh
Bro, you make some nice edits, top notch..... kinda hate the music at the beginning though, still your a pro.
jesse y haha thanks for the support bro !
I am Thai and proudly agree with your analysis, well done. Hope you make more quality video on martial art.
thank you bro this means a lot to me
Truly masterful. Over a very skillful opponent. This is the type of display that pushed me to begin training Muay Thai. And after my first year I can say that it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made
Lance Thibodeaux that’s awesome. Good luck on ur journey
keep up the good work
I saw a video on facebook of you with a similar 'fighter profile' thing about Petrosyan, was that a snippet from a future video or is that a short video only for facebook?
After watching your videos once in a while it inspired me to go train in kickboxing again, always wanted to get in the ring (as a hobby) but never did.
Great videos like always!
Yes its for a future video. Thanks for the support, and best of luck training. Getting in the ring is an enlightening experience if you prepare right.
Thank you for the amazing video. Love your insights, reads, attention to the details. I'm curious to know if Nong-O wants to have another go against Saenchai.
I'm sure he does. I doubt it will happen though. Thank you for your support
I feel you. A lot of people are unaware of what real high level Muay Thai looks like. It's leaps beyond what is typically seen in mma.
truth my friend
Fantastic breakdown.. and explanation of Muay Thai judging (a thing that many MMA fans do not understand)
+1 sub for this.
Thank You.
thank you glen, I really appreciate it
@Glen Tight the scoring is very different in MT matches.
Great vid as usual. A study about Boughanem Brothers or Oley would be great.
i have one on oley, but yes need to do more and on youssef too
@@LawrenceKenshin I have been following since 2015 so the Oley one is already seen 😌 That's why we need a depth study ahaha
Yassine is more technical than his brother.
Your fighter card are greatly welcomed!
Great Lion with big heart who saves the dignity of Thai Fighters.An Unorthodox Legend! Heroes are born,not just made.
Reading through the comments i cant really add any more kudos, Just thanks, great work, I just really enjoyed this with my wife
This was beautiful.
SonofRiggnarok thank you 🙏 means a lot to me
Excellent video!
thank you for the support brian!
Hey LK. I would like to know who your MT GOAT is? I have a clear #1 as Buakaw. I think a really cool video would be you breaking down the top say 8. Seed them 1-8. The #1&2s have a bye. Match them up and the winner of the breakdown moves on. So on until you are left with two. Then do a video about them and their styles and then finally a video about your all time greatest. It would be a tournament of fights that we never got to see fight. I hope I am explaining this correctly. I love watching your videos. I train at BlackHouse under Eduardo Pamplona 3X Pan Am Muay Thai world champion. (Though he recently took over the head striking coach for Evolve MMA which is the owner of One FC’s gym in Singapore).
With admiration and respect from all of us mixed martial artist at BlackHouse!
I think he's head coach mate! Not striking coach 🙏🙏. The head coach seems to be changing often. As for the seed, it's an interesting concept, but I think a top list would be better 😁🤔
Also thanks so much for the support it means a lot to me
