f42's Big "Give that (wo)man a wiki!!!" thread

[Monte Moku]

Didn't think this question would be worth a whole thread, so I figured I would ask it here: do any of you guys know of any books about Muay Thai or Kickboxing that are in the same vein as Four Kings by George Kimball?

It basically goes over how each of the Four Kings of Boxing got their start, how their careers intertwined, some really interesting play-by-play of the fights between them and contains some bits about their personal lives/personality.

When I look for Muay Thai books, I usually find things for technique instruction or books that go over the history of Muay Thai in a sort of textbook-ey way and that isn't really the sort of thing I am looking for. Any help is greatly appreciated

good job guys, keep it going!

Thanonchai https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanonchai_Thanakorngym

Crazy he never won any major title considering his level and acivity, or at least none that I could find.

Kongthoranee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kongthoranee_Sor.Sommai

Not much infos on these one if you have more go for it because the Thanonchai page has been marked for deletion on wikipedia.

Edit : I added infos let's hope it's enough

 

[SuperLuigi]

Only in Muay Thai would a 3 time title challenger be considered not notable enough for a wiki article. Looks like they want more sources. Theres probably countless articles on him in Thai media.

Please:

* Tarik Khbabez
* Donegi Abena
* Christian Baya
* Josh Jauncey

 

[Khonda]

Tarik is next, if Abena wins this week end I'll have no choice, if I make Jauncey I should make Beztati too. Too many pages... It's endless.

 

[Kanka]

I've asked this before but how do you find their records?

Great, we thank you!

And Christian Baya also, he was challenger at Glory World Title. Maybe also Josh Jauncey.

Regarding Khbabez, in Superkombat Finals he beat KRYKLIA at the grand final! So that match against Wamba is a semifinal. He had many matches in SK. That"s his biggest title, Superkombat World Grand Prix in 2015.

I just wanted to say that, because you guys only created light classes.

I would do both Baya and Jauncey but I have no idea how this works.

Boy, you are great! Khayal Dzhaniev and Samy Sana are qualified?

 

[Khonda]

I'm not sure Dzhaniev is notable enough but I'll try an other day, I don't want to do Sana because his french page is already complete and you can understand basically everything even without speaking the language https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samy_Sana
