Somluck Kamsing vs Jean-Claude Van Damme

saw this over on K-1fans thought is was kind of funny

Quote:
Thai Olympic gold medalist boxer Somluck Kamsing has confirmed the rumor that he will fight martial artist star Jean-Claude Van Damme in a muaythai match in March next year.

Somluck, the first Thai gold medalist who won the featherweight boxing event at the Atlanta Games in 1996, has confirmed the earlier report that he has signed a contract on September 4 to fight in a match against the Belgium-born Van Damme, who is best known for his roles in Hollywood action movies.

Somluck said the match, consisting of five two-minute rounds, will be held in Las Vegas, in March 2010 using muaythai rules, although elbow will be barred. He said he would be paid US$150,000 plus US$25,000 as training fee as well as a 2% share from broadcast revenue.

“I never thought about this possibility at all, but all the sudden Van Damme’s team called me, saying they tracked me down from a hotel employee who knew me. They want me to fight with muaythai style, except the elbows because they don’t want his face to get bruised, because he is an actor,” said Somluck.

The Thai fighter said the action movie star knew him from a K-1 event in Turkey he fought earlier this year.

Somluck said he would have to prepare himself well in order the fight the much larger Van Damme, but believes he would be able to defeat him with his superior muaythai skill and experience.

trying to get his ass kick ed I guess from what it sounds like he saw him fight and now wants to fight him. Somluck doesn't got the I am am going to destroy you style just the nice pretty look at this crazy shit I can do style JCVD probably thinks he can beat him. Somluck could not even throw one strike the whole fight and make JCVD look like a chump.

Van Damme's 48, I don't think he'll do very well, maybe if he were younger. But to be honest, back in the day prior to his acting career Van Damme was legit. He went in kickboxing and karate tourneys from 1976-80 and went 18-1 with all of his wins by KO.
