Damien Trainor vs. Tawatchai "Lucky" Budsadee back in 2009. This is one of the most entertaining fights ever. Lightening fast, fancy and brutal. Keep an eye out for the insane welt that develops around the back of Damien's left rib. Dude can catch kicks! Awkward decision/reversal at the end, but other than that one of my favorite things floating around out there on the web. Speaking of which, if you like Muay Thai blogs, Damien Trainor's has excellent content - new and old fights, plus he pens some killer articles and anecdotes himself. Go check that shit out.
