- Muay Thai highlight of legendary Thai boxer Somrak Khamsing ("โม้อมตะ" สมรักษ์ คำสิงห์).
Somrak began training at the age of seven with his brother at their home in Khon Kaen and also started fighting that same year. He moved to Bangkok aged 11 and trained at Sit Arane and the famous Jocky Gym where he began making a name for himself as an elusive technician.
Somrak beat the very best fighters around - he was victorious against all of the great champions of the golden era but he never got a shot at the title himself.
He was ranked number one in all stadiums at 126lbs but promoters refused to let him fight for a title. Instead, Somrak switched to boxing and competed in a total of four Olympic games, winning gold in the featherweight division at the 1996 games.
He has had over 300 Muay Thai fights with only 10 losses and fought over 200 times in boxing with 150 wins.
This highlight features Kamel Jemel, Yodwanpadet, Clickrit Sor Naya-Am, Tu Warren, Christien Deiski, Panomroon, Davit Kiria, Boonlai Sot Thanikul, Jowan Stringer and Victor Nagbe.

Somrak Khamsing.. He was on a different level than a normal human. He has never practiced boxing. But he won the whole team of Thai national boxers. And won the Olympics that time despite the fact that there was Floyd Mayweather
He trained in boxing since he was in high school, then later at the Royal Navy Gym. He competed in the National Games and Thai competitions well before trialling for the Olympics.
You're talking bollocks my man - he definitely 'practised boxing'.
@@biscobisco1882 he trained boxing because no thai fighter wanted to fight him at that time he got no choice and had to switch to boxing he never lost a single game in muay Thai since he turned pro
@@natwaritthapaliyanan4172 yes, he trained western boxing, but as an adult. his base and the 98% of his style is thai boxing. he was a muay thai fighter competing in boxing not a boxer competing in muay thai
My wife always talked about a fighter from her village and how good he was. He's a legend around KhonKaen region.
I was born there too
Gold election
His usage of elbows to jab is genius. It's not only an offensive set-up, but a defensive move since his elbow blocks his head. Definitely one of the most stylish Thai boxers I've seen.
One of the top 10 best strikers in any combat sports ever
I think this guy might be the best stand up fighter I've ever seen. His ability to both defend and attack equally well simultaneously is ridiculous.
best of me
And he win in gold medal in Olympic 1996 while Floyd got broze
he's an olympic gold medallist in boxing that why
There is samart payakaroon.
What about Samart ?
IMO - Somrak is the best. he puts it all together so well. elbows, knees, spin kicks, punches - he has it all. and yes, amazing defense.
This guy won the olympics in the same year and weight that Mayweather got bronze.
LMAO even on muay thai's videos people are talking about Mayweahter. Keep that guy out of your mind.
He won the Olympics by boxing, not Muay Thai. That's why he's talking.
I know what he meant. But I see a lot of guys who can't help making cuttings remarks toward Floyd on the net. I thought he was one of them
If anything, he mentioned Floyd to emphasize the accomplishment of medalling in an event with such a high level of competition .
Lautaro Fonz Fuck floyd gayweather
I love these abilities in any of fight. The ability to read the opponent's attack, the ability to dodge and the ability to counter attack. Who had all these abilities are genius and I can say one in a million.
Everything is so naturally fluid to him. He seems effortless in whatever he tries to do. Absolutely incredible talent, that may never get the props hes truly ever deserved.
The most clever and the best defense techniques muaythai fighter i ever seen.
Somrak is actually a fun, down to earth and simple guy. If you meet him on the street, you can talk to him like two normal dudes. He is only boastful before the matches because he is a super fun guy.
His weakness is that he is lazy. He doesn't like to train a lot like other super stars. He is Ronaldinho of boxing and could be worse. He told in one interview that he was so lazy to prepare for international bout that he waited for a chance when no one saw and hired a guy to give him a ride instead of jogging up the mountain like his teammates. He lost when he was old becase he had almost zero fitnees to match up the world class opponents. He said that he could think of what to do but his body just couldn't do it haha.
Hahahaha it turns out most of the top fighters from Jocky Gym got lazy to train once they reached the top of Muay Thai.
Somrak, Silapathai, Lerdsila, Sittichai Petbangpung, Robert Kaennorasing, and heck even Dieselnoi said that Saenchai wouldn’t even train whenever he fought Nong-O…
He is a legend. He is a champion. There are many stages that he didn't become a champion because the champions didn't dare to punch him.
yess
The master at work.
Pure genius.
Muay Thai royalty.
you know him,in the morning he won boxing and in that evening he won muaythai,after that he won boxing in Olympic.(include the money!)
muay thai creates monsters that can dominate in all combat sports, it's crazy how many muay thai fighters transitioned to boxing and dominated with less than 20% of their muay thai, muay thai fighters have the best fundamentals.
3:35 ref is like "chill, dawg!"
What a fighter... what a technician... what a pleasure to watch... GREAT Khun Somrak !!
The effortlessness is astonishing
Dropped the Somrak highlight! LIT
He is a Legend of Muay Thai and Golden coin Olimpic boxing.
Amazing reflex..!
This man's fight IQ is insane!
Thank for this highlights.Thank you for collecting some video clips. Very rare.
He looks like he's just having fun! 😂 Making serious fighters look like fools...
yes that s him very funny now he is comedy actor
my favorite Muay Thai Boxer ever!
Super montage merci !
What a fluid fighter. Just unbelievable. Can you make vids for Burklerk and Namsaknoi? Your vids are the best on youtube.
Men , Iam in love whit old school Muay Thai thanks to your videos, i really apreciate your work , have good look and rich live bro
I can't decide who my favorite fighter is. I thought it was Payakaroon but I think it's a tie between Payakaroon and Khamsing now after watching this.
Before making a conclusion, you should research on the quality of their opponents first.
Kalas2 who would you rank as all time greatest nak muay?
Kalas2 Samart Payakaroon is Thailand’s greatest Thai boxer. Somrak is right up there too unfortunately Somrak never won a title at Lumpini (nobody wanted to fight him back then)
Top 5 in no order,
1. Samart - probably the record holder for 34-fight or so unbeaten run in his prime before losing to Dieselnoi. Also another record is 3 times fighter of the year.
2.Put - a genius.
3. Saenchai - you should know why.
4. Deiselnoi - forced to retire because no one could challenge him the only muyathai king who was never dethroned.
5. Kaensak 2 times fighter of the year and an elbow specialist.
HM Baukaw for his incredibly successful career internationally. I classify Somrak to the second tier, top 50 "at best". The thing is he's never been tested in the highest stage. He mainly fought at the channel 7 stadium not rajadamnern or lumpini. Other than that is full of excuses which have been recently made by his fans.
I will tell you one thing. In 80's and 90's the titles awarded by the Lumpini and Rajadamnern stadia are meaningless. You don't have to get a belt to be a top fighter. Only recently, farangs tend to over-value those belts but Thai people don't. My point is that Samart always fought and beat the best while Somrak fought average guys. For example, Samart at the age of 31 fought Gilbert Ballantine who, at that time, had just beaten Ramon Dekkers twice before fighting Samart. Somrak on the other hand has got no record against top fighters. That's why his fans come up with excuses.
This is a great channel I hope you continue uploading
Fantastic, thanks
muaythai and boxing hero
My favorite fighter.
great video! somrak was (still is) a beast!
Best Defense skill and attack at the same time
Legend!
Best defense I have ever seen 👀
DUDE IS AMAZING!!!
A joy to watch an artist at work........and making it look so easy!
Very amazing
one of the best The best muaythai of all time
ลุงสมรักสายหลบ100%ทีเด็จเลยศอกอย่างสวยครับ
J'le connaissais pas c'est un dieu de la boxe thaï ce mec!
It's a great shame he wasn't given a shot at a stadium title.
I think he went to boxing to safe his own life before become disabilities by MT fight. Let you know that most of MT fighters fight until they become disabilities and that not over 35 years old. That why recently the champions or famous MT fighters goes other tournament before late 30 yrs old rather than keep fight in MT stadium.
@@PopPop-of8km In his case, He was a boxing figher for his school, Padungshit Suksa since he was 12. After that when he rarely got a match in Muaythai, his promotor cant find a match for him (no match no money) So during that he have to go to do boxing and became a champ of National competition. So all the Army camps want to sign him and he chose The navy army. He did boxing under the Navy for years and first boxing in the name of Thailand team for Olimpic in 1992 when he was only 19. His boxing career for Thailand team in many tournament like SEA Game, Asian Game , World Champion and Olimpic was over a decade. Most of the time he needs to keep practicing and stay in the national camp. So that's why he didnt have much muaythai match in the era.
In other like Samart and more turn from Muaythai to Boxing also becoz 1. They were fighting in muaythai for years and met all the tough opponent already and there were no more opponent to fight. 2 They have very good punching skill or punching power so they can switch to boxing easily and not take along time to adapt. But right now after kick boxing is more famous worldwide most of muaythai fighters tend to switch to kick boxing more than boxing.
Dream match up
Somrak vs Samart
I wouldn't call Somrak the best but he is definitely among the Top 5 in Muay Thai.
Somrak khamsing or more NAME IN MUAY THAI IS Pimarunlek sitarun
(พิมพ์อรัญเล็ก ศิษย์อรัญ)
The best
Great
สุดจิง
Beast!!!!
real legend guaranteed by boxing olympic gold
ถ้าสมรักษ์เกิดในยุคOne คงจะหาคนสู้ได้ยาก
Somrak Khamsing and Samart Payak Arun both is best friend together. If I can compare both of them. Somrak style like Aikido. He has rich technic and smooth and don't hurt much to opponents, while Samart is far more dangerous. Samart can easy knock out you just a minute. Another my favorite guy I can recommend .His name is Lertsira.
สามารถ พยัคฆ์อรุณ สมรักษ์ คำสิงห์ สุดยอดจริงๆ
He is the one Thai hero and legen.
Wow!
Esse é o cara...
One his peak, Somruk sometime, he got in the ring twice a day.
7:04 ...O_O) He can really use back elbow and back kick together.... Damn it.
Muito mesmo
Muito técnico
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥊🥊👍👍🇧🇷
Khon Kaen is an awesome place Isaan people are the friendliest in Thailand,the girls are beautiful also 5555! :-D
In Thailand hes known as The legend without title. Because champions wont fight him back in those days. Guess they afraid to lose their title to him lol
The legend who never win any Muay Thai title, because no any champions want to fight with. The first Thai ever to win gold medal at Olympics games
He is no have the champions some one in Thailand , because champions is not fight with him . He is the legend in all time.
Experience in boxing make him more dangerouse in Muaythai fight...
Sequence at 4:55 is toooooooo nice
Isn't he the one who teach at Singapore muaythai gym currently?
3:33
is he fighting dany bill?! two of my faves! (if it is dany)
He didn't get much fight cause no one wanted to fight him. Somrak, samart, bakauw. Top 3
Slick slick slick slick
i'm thailand and the name everyone know of him is The legend no champion
becoz no one champion want to make match with him....
Oporchickachic serk นั่นสามารถรึเปล่าครับ
@@Telkung สามารถ ได้ 4 แชมป์ ในปีเดียวครับ
@@Telkung แต่คนนี้ โชคร้าย ไม่เคยได้แชมป์ลุมพินี (เพราะไม่มีแชมป์คนไหนยอมต่อยด้วย)
Say "sorry for my English 3times "
คนนี้ถูกแล้วครับ ไม่ได้แชมป์ เพราะแชมป์ไม่ต่อยด้วย
สามารถมีหลายแชมป์ครับ
kkkkkkkkkkkkk esses muay fimeu e uma onda danada!!
He is the master of seanchai
โม้ อมตะ...😎👌
ถ้าเทียบกับ สามารถ นี่ผมว่าคนละแนว สมรักษ์นี่ออก ต่อยเพราะสนุก ลองสังเกตุดู เวลาต่อย แก้จะสนุกกับมันตลอด แต่สามารถนี่ออกแนวจริงจังตลอดใส่เต็ม
คือข้อด้อยของสมรักษ์คือ อาวุธแกไม่มีพลัง ไม่มีความหนัก ถ้าไม่ได้เตะก้านคอจังๆก็คงเอาใครไม่ลง แกเลยต้องชกแนวบุ๋นนี่แหละ ชกให้เหนือชั้นสอนมวยคู่ต่อสู้ เพราะแกน็อคเค้าไม่ลง ถ้าแกมีลูกหนัก น็อคได้แกก็คงน็อคแหละ
จริงๆนะในฐานะนักสู้ ถ้าแพ้แบบที่ทำอะไรคู่ต่อสู้ไม่ได้เลย เตะต่อยไม่เข้าไม่โดนเลยตลอดแมตช์เนี่ย นอกจากโคตรหงุดหงิดแล้วยังน่าอายหรือเสียหน้าด้วยซ้ำ แพ้แบบนี้คือสู้ไม่ได้จริงๆ ผมเปนโปรโมเตอร์ก็คงไม่อยากส่งนักมวยตัวเองไปชกกะสมรักษ์หรอก ชนะก็ไม่ได้อะไร แต่แพ้แบบทำไรไม่ได้ขึ้นมานี่เสียมวยหมด
albert einstiin เข้าใจผิดแล้วสมรักษ์ สามารถมวยแนวเดียวกันคือจังหวะฝีมือ มีความตั้งใจชกพอๆ กันแต่สมรักษ์ใช้ศิลปะได้หลากหลายกว่า ไม่ค่อยเห็นสามารถใช้ศอกกลับและจระเข้ฟาดหาง อย่างสมรักษ์ สามารถจะเน้นความหนักของอาวุธมากกว่า

Wasn't he Saenchai's teacher or sparring partner? His style immediately made me think of Saenchai.
trained with him then taught him when somrak opened khamsing gym, before he went to kingstar
Somrsk older than sanchai
if you watch saenchai's old fights you can see this guy in his corner....
Somrak was saenchai’s master
Too bad there's such little footage (available) of him during his peak years: fighting the best of the best of the Thai fighters and champions of that era.
Perhaps in Thailand, they didn't see any value in saving/archiving fights or preserving the history of the sport. Most of us don't have the foresight to predict what we're taking part in (now) will someday be considered something special.
It's hard for me to get enthusiastic about watching gross mismatches where someone of his caliber, though well past his prime, is winning against rather mediocre foreign talent who have no business being in the ring with him.
They do have archives but they dont release them - there's said to be footage of the Samart vs Dieselnoi fight in the archives but again, they are under wraps for whatever reason
th-cam.com/video/SIMbf0VR6T8/w-d-xo.html&vl=th
He didn't get much fight cause no one wanted to fight him. Too difficult. So he retired n come back
@@thairice2 he has fought over500 match man.
@@syntaxcrack9663 in his prime when he was coming up. No one with title would want to fight him. That's y he doesn't have belt
Smooth As Fuck
his fighting style is like that of a real life Mugen character from samurai champloo
wtf this guy is unique!!
Luis kpi
He was so good the gamblers never betted when he fought ( as hell almost always win ) , they'll sinply watch a perfect Muay Thai performance .
He beat all time legends like Jomhod , Chamuekpet , Sakmongkhol , Namkabuan , etc ... While looking almost unbeatable .
He also was Saenchai's master .
A referre with 3+ decades of experience who saw guy like Samart , Puth Lorlek , Namkabuan , Saenchai , etc ... Said that the best fighter he ever saw was Somrak by far .
@@8limbedwarriornakmuay175 something told me that Somrak was the mentor or at least the inspiration of Saenchai, now you confirm it, thank you ^^
He schooled Boonlai, that how great he is.
1:45 2:03 3:45 (and a lot more) 0_0 this guy is a genius
Now I see who Lerdsila loves
How he slips to the outiside and bait his opponent into throwing the rear is very slick, i will have to play around with that while sparring
I remembered watching him fight on the King's Birthday (Dec. 5) as a young lad. He was playful and liked to show off. But technically he was peerless. I felt bad for the foreign nak muay that was cut badly by his elbows. In retrospect though, his showing-off footages are good for the posterity to watch and study.
thucydides Neo I believe the reason behind his show off at that event was, he was asked to do that by the most famous promotor of all muaythai history , thongchai rattanasuban, thongchai admired somrak a lot for his talented and very rare ability to use many difficult muaythai moves in the ring so I believe thongchai asked hin to do that during that fight to show the world how beauty muaythai moves can be.
@@-magna-manoban7171 and that why he never won a muay thai champ
everytime the always win with never get a clear hit !!!
the champion never fear to loose but his promotor cant deal if they loose without any chance to fight back!!!
How can promoters not let the best fighters compete for a stadium title? That's crazy!
The case is his promotor have no championship belt at any class in his competition. So he cant make a championship match for him by that. Then if he want to make a title match for Somrak, he has to deal with other promotors who has it. But note that it not usual for promotors at that time to make a championship match against another promotor(no rule to force them to so the promotor will just make a title match between one of their fighters in this case the belt will always stay with the same promotor). And thing become harder to impossible for Somrak to get a title match becoz other promotor dont want to let his champ fight with Somrak. First reason Somrak promotor dont have any belt to trade!! Second, they know that Somrak is very good and it would be a high chance for his fighter to lose to Somrak, And if his fighter lose the belt will gone for good and dont know where or when to comeback to them again. So case close the tiltle match for Somrak never happen.
Is he the one who trained Saenchai?
Yes
3:56 "who me? i'm honored" :_D
ดนตรีเหมือนใว้อาลัยแด่สมรักอะ
Im sure those western fighters got frustrated to face a elite thai fighter... specially when they are hitting only the air🤣🤣🤣🤣
Does anyone know why he wasn't given a stadium title match?
No one wanted to fight him.... couldn't find matches and basically it was the start of heavy gambling in muaythai so he went on to fight in boxing. But that wasn't the only mark he left though, he mentored the best muay thai fighter today, saenchai
นักมวยเขาจะรูดีถึงขีดความสามารถของตัวเอง ขนาดนักมวยระดับแชมยังไม่อยากชกด้วย ไม่ได้กลัวแพ้หรือเจ็บตัว แต่กลัวชกไปแล้วเหมือนเป็นตัวตลก ชกแล้วแพ้แบบที่สู้ได้สูสี ยังจะดีกว่าแพ้แบบไร้ทางสู้ ชกเป็นร้อยเตะเป็นร้อยไม่ถูกเป้าเลย เหมือนในวีดีโอนั้นล่ะ เรื่องนี้นักมวยเป็นคนพูดเอง
Some champion and legendary of Muay Thai runaway form him. Confirmed match but don't come when weighing day.
Good thing JCVD turned that exhibition fight down.
Migatte no gokui 👍🏻👍🏻
Can someone please explain how he wasn't kicked with that headmovement
Muay boran movements
yes
game show: which planet did world war take place.
Somrak: Mars
this is not a joke, that was really his answer. 🤣
He probably had a weird connection to war of the worlds or some shit. 🤣
Maybe it's just me, but do some of Somrak's opponents in this video look 5-10kg heavier? Also, he's so masterful it looks like he's just doing some light sparring.
Even in khamsing’s 40s chike Lindsay who is much bigger more muscle had problem fighting khamsing. He was out there fight like having a workout but chike took the fight seriously unable land good shot.
ดูกี่รอบๆ พี่เขาไม่ได้โม้จริงๆนะ
ฉายาโม้อมตะ 555
He don't have champion because nobody won't to fight with him.champion muaythai too.because is very hard to fight with him.
