    Thanks for that George,good find,Ive alwys wanted to see that fight,I spoke to Prayout Sittiboonlert in 1995 or 6 in Bangkok and he told me Benny had a great spinning kick very strong and that he caught Benny with the elbow and won the fight,I wasnt sure if he meant the elbow won the fight for him or just that he won the fight and used the elbow.

    By the way guess where I met Prayout Sittiboonlert and what he was doing as a job?.

    Thanks for posting the fight.
    Do you know how many times Benny fought a Thai? I read an old interview of him in Budo magazine (10 years ago or so) saying that he just couldn't handle low kicks, they were too much for him to take and so as a response he tried to spin kick every time he saw the low kicks coming. I don't know if that was the fight he was referring to.

    Just got this from wikipedia:

    Urquidez fought in three bouts which were eventually ruled no-contest (NC). The first, in Los Angeles in March 1977, was a nine-round NC (WKA) against Thai boxer Narongnoi Kiatbandit. The second and most controversial fight was against another Thai fighter, Prayuth (sometimes spelled Prayoud) Sittiboonlert in August 1978 in Tokyo, Japan. Japanese and Thai officials state this was a bout and a loss for Urquidez, who had difficulty with the Thai's aggressive knee and clinch strategy.

    My friend trained there for years George and he really liked it,I went 2 x and didnt have much other camp experience to judge against so cant say either way,I did enjoy the training of course and I was lucky to do some good sparring,they have of course had some great boxers over the years,shame it closed down.

    As a footnote did you know that it is the Sor Tanikul camp that is shown on the movie Kickboxer with Jean Claude Van Damme?.

    I liked how they integrated look ban yai and their fighters and trainers into the movie chok dee. The real trainers and fighters looked and acted really well in that. Sometimes they make the camps look real good in the movies, other times its so fabricated.
