e come to Senam Luang, Bangkok on 05/12/2002 for the King's Cup again, & as usual it was a great spectacle seeing fighters from so many countries vying for supremacy. What was notable was that China sent 1 Sanda fighter (said to be from Hong Kong), Wang Wei Huang (65kg) to compete, but he lost the bout to French fighter Kamel Jemel by points and a lack of stamina. May be an unknown guy, but he put up a credible preformance. Nengtakan (70kg), who had beaten Yuan Yubao in the Macau Challenge was also there and he defeated his French opponent as expected.
The 4 Japanese Kickboxers.
A
nother notable thing is that Japan sent 4 fighters, 3 winning by KO. One of them even knocked out a Thai fighter in a single round! Japanese Kickboxing has came a long way achieving such success surely. Below are the rest of the results:********************************************
