Liam Harrison vs Saenchai 1 | Feb 2009 | Muay Thai | Full fight

My first fight with Saenchai back in 2009. Not quite as explosive as our second fight but still not a bad showing from myself, having just turned 22 years old and facing off against the best fighter on the planet. I lost a unanimous points decision but showed I can hang with the best.

[@LEK]

This is probably one of the best fights in Muay Thai The raw power, the techniques, the mutual respect...just great

[@NohabloEng]

Just the commentator ruins it 😴

[@deyvisondek]

Hey, Liam, I really admire the fact that you always smile during the fights, you show respect and seem more interested in learning from the fight than to just win. You seem to be a good man. Congratulations.

Never seen a god challenged! Saenchai seemed unstoppable, but this was a real fight. Thanks, Liam for giving us the fight we wanted to see. Two legends.

The only fighter who is able to anticipate Saenchai's attack & is able to counter attack. Just awesome.

The showmanship at the beginning of the last round…the hug… you can feel the respect these two both have for eachother. Man this is truly the shit I live for…

[@xanthibko698]

I've heard people talk about your 2 fights with Saenchai for years. They are legendary. But I only just got around to watching them. Liam you are amazing. To perform like that against Saenchai. I don't know what his chin is made of, you landed some bombs. That was just so beautiful to watch

I’m a new fan of mauy Thai because of you Liam, so much excitement in every one of your matches and brought that northern aggression and respect with you ❤

[@tablatom]

Liam, the respect you show for the master is fantastic. I lived with a Tabla master for many years, i'm from NZ, but literally became his son for many years. Learning from a master, the close bond between disciple and teacher is a wonderful thing. Lovely to watch.

Wonderful match to watch! Really love seeing the mutual respect and the fun you both have during this fight. Just because that show of respect towards each other, I truly believe you both won.

I am really impressed by Liam s sportsmanship and happiness in fighting...

[@Heyitdave]

You two are great! The respect after matches is honestly the best in all of sports

[@ibana8449]

Love Saenchai and all he brings to the sport, a real decent sportsman and a sharer of his vast skills. But Liam's leg sweep response to his missed cartwheel was tremendous. Both men are top class. Brilliant.

[@matthew-jy5jp]

Two amazing fighters. Thanks for sharing your fight Liam. 😊👊 Best of luck champ.

[@DavyRo]

Anyone disrespecting any fighter going into the ring in any discipline is an idiot. Liam for you to go against the legend & put in a great performance must be one of the proudest things for you & your family. Well done

[@kyuubi3670]

Hopefully

[@spy-py]

Did you quit by now? XD

[@Unfoundrumors]

Love this fight, saenchai figured out your plan near the end of the fight, this is why he backed into the ropes cause he needed the extra stability, also it limited your range and limited your take down and trip abilities. He basically let you reach the edge of your reach then slowly figured out your angles of attacks before showing you a couple things about judo. Switching to grapples and presenting more kicks was a way to drain stamina and throw off your ability to setup your offense. Saenchai is a puzzle for sure, the range of his knowledge is incredible

Never seen this fight in full , probably one of the best fights watched of Sanchai , and to see the level Liam is on , this was a stunning performance from both men. If you watched this fight , you watched one of the best fights in Maui Tai.

Also,One of the best foreigners who have great-heart and respectfulness to MuayThai,,Both, Liam Harrison and “Master-Referee” ,,Both ,are Excellent sample!! Great good heart.

Hey Liam you are a fantastic fighter to take it to Seanchai. You need to get your mates in the commentary box to settle down a bit and call the fight and not just your shots ;).

Exactly, took away from the fight. Cheerleaders rather than real knowledgeable commentators. These fighters are so respectable. Commentators are jokes

[@joetreetop5960]

I love how the commentator is more amazed by Liam’s failed attempt to throw a spinning elbow at “the pound for pound best fighter” instead of Saenchai’s quasi-suplex followed by a knee answer to it. I mean, I get it. Liam is their guy. But still. Anyway, great fight.

For me Liam is one of the best representations on west coast style in Muay Thai. He trained in a famous gym name Sit Monchai. For Seanchai his style actually call “Muay Korat” originate from Korat province.
