One great fight from this period was between Muen Mad Man, aged 50, and
Nai Pong Prabsabod, a tall man aged 22 who came from Korat. The younger man
fought to avenge the death of his father who was killed in a bout with Muen Mad
Man that took place at the funeral of Khun Marupongsiripat. Two minutes into the
grudge match, Muen Mad Man was knocked out by Nai Pong. The spectators
became very excited and went mad trying to congratulate Nai Pong. It took some
time for the situation to calm down.
