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.

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

[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.

[naliniranjanpatra]

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

[vladdracul]

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.

[kashavok]

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…

[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.

[bennyhill]

Just started following you and listening to your stuff.. brilliant insight into fighting. Real world spit and saw dust and so honest and humble. Keep it coming.

[King-Gilamashur]

What a legend mate. You killed it in this fight Liam. One of the best fights I've ever seen.

[xanthibko]

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

[EVEROSFP]

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.

[Heyitdave]

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

[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

[justintimefortea]

You don't need to justify yourself in ANY way mate... this was a great fight to watch, and gave you loads of credibility. Top Man ;) - from an English guy now 'retired' on Koh Samui :))

[benpearson]

Love the mutual respect between the fighters, such an amazing show. Masterclass between the two of them, love to see it

[UfcClippaz]

And here I am in my living room trying to do a cartwheel kick after watching this... Took me 2 seconds to realise my body's not flexible enough 😂

[ibana]

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.
