Nong-O vs Singdam to headline next big Lumpini card on July 31st

The next big card at Lumpini is set for July 31st and will feature the latest installment in the Nong-O vs Singdam saga. Singdam won the most recent meeting but is trailing overall by the narrowest of margins with Nong-O now 4-3-1 against him.

Singdam's holds the 135 lbs Lumpini belt while Nong-O holds the 135 lbs title belt courtesy of his most recent win against Petbonchu although judging from the poster only the Lumpini title will be on the line. Singdam's most recent title defence was against Wanchalerm who is also on the card, this time the tall teenager will be going up against the more experienced Petboonchu in what promises to be a clinch war.

The light flyweight division has produced some of the best fights of the year and Wanchai and Sarawut will be going head to head again in a rematch of the highly entertaining affair last month which Sarawut just edged. Wanchai always brings it and this one looks a strong candidate for fight of the night honours.

F16 was supposed to fight Petbonchu last month but the bout was called off at the last minute after the former was poisoned. Although both are on this card they will not be facing each other but will instead be taking on two team mates from the Udonmuang Gym with F16 is going up against another up and comer in Diesellek.

In a super bantamweight clash Rittidej takes on Singdam's Kiatmoo 9 stable mate Petpanomrung while Sittisak (Petchphayathai), who doesn't always have the most entertaining style and hasn't fought on a big show for a while takes on Arunchai. Palungtip's reward for beating Ponsaneh for the third consecutive time last month is a fight against Kwankao.

Rumour has it that French teenager Leo Pinto will not be fighting despite being featured on the poster.
