Biography and career

edit

Early life and beginning of Muay Thai career

edit

Kampiew Sijantuek (nicknamed Piew) was born in the Thung Kratat Phatthana subdistrict of Nong Ki district in Buriram province on 4 February 1973. He was the youngest of his 7 siblings which included famous Muay Khao fighter (knee fighter) Namphon Nongkeepahuyuth. At first, Sijantuek would watch Namphon train at the Nongkeepahuyuth gym which was famed for producing fighters that excelled in knee striking[1]: 1:32:55–1:34:56  as well as using select Muay boran techniques in real fights.[2] He was disinterested in training Muay Thai himself after seeing Namphon's demanding Muay Khao training regimen. Namphon later pressured him to participate in a Muay Thai fight despite the fact that he did not have formal training, resulting in a draw and an 80 baht purse directly from the audience. Sijantuek was noted to not give up during fights, prompting Pramot Hoymook, the owner of the Nongkeepahuyuth camp, to give him more matchups.[3][4][5]

Despite not wanting to fight, Sijantuek officially joined the Nongkeepahuyuth gym[5] to train under Hoymook and Poot Akkarat as he was pressured to take on more opponents. Namphon would become a popular fighter in the Isaan region and eventually ran out of opponents, prompting him to begin fighting in Bangkok. Sijantuek was still fighting in his local area until he ran out of opponents as well. He started fighting in different regions in Thailand[4] until he won a paperweight (95 lbs/43.09 kg) championship in Nakhon Ratchasima province.[3]

Rise to fame in Bangkok

edit

At 13-years-old he would start fighting in Bangkok himself but lost the first 3 fights as he was not skilled enough. Under the advice of the Onesongchai promotion, Pramot Hoymook had Namkabuan temporarily train in the Muangsurin gym for 1 week[6] to further hone his skills for Lumpinee Stadium matchups. Namkabuan would quickly improve enough to be able to handle varying opponents and became a well-rounded fighter.[7]: 21:13  In around 1988, his second year of fighting in Bangkok, Namkabuan's fight purse reached ฿100,000 (equivalent to ฿243,632 in 2020)[4] signifying that he was a yodmuay (elite fighter). He began his rise to popularity later that year after beating Akaradej Sitkhosa for a ฿100,000 side-bet.[3]

In 1989, once he was considered famous in the Kingdom of Thailand, Namkabuan's level of competition would continue to grow as he was matched up against Hippy Singmanee, Kraiwannoi Sit Kru Od, Karuhat Sor.Supawan, etc. In 1990, he was famously knocked out in 33 seconds in his first fight against Wangchannoi Sor.Palangchai via a left hook.[8][9] Pramot Hoymook claimed that Wangchannoi told Namkabuan to "take it easy" the day before the fight and that Namkabuan would beat him.[7]: 26:32–27:27  Regardless, in the late 1980s Namkabuan would enter the competitive peak of his career but was overshadowed by Namphon's fame.[5] At this time Namphon was fighting Samart Payakaroon, Jaroenthong Kiatbanchong, Petchdam Lukborai among other famous fighters.[6]

During fights, Namkabuan would showcase his ability to land knees on varying spots on his opponent's bodies as well as using the taina (Thai: ไถนา; lit: "plowing") on his opponents.[3] To perform a plow, Namkabuan would catch and hold his opponent's kicking leg as he charged forward, putting the opponent off-balance until his opponent collided with the ropes of the ring. He would take advantage of his opponent's vulnerable state to throw an unavoidable strike.[10][11]

Namkabuan was primarily a Muay Femur and Muay Khao stylist (rope-a-dope fighter and clinch specialist). He, like other fighters from the Nongkeepahuyuth gym, also took advantage of a select number of old Muay boran techniques and properly used them in stadium Muay Thai.[2] In the 1990s, Namkabuan's fighting style was considered to be visually pleasing by the Thai audiences which resulted in his nickname of "The Ring Genius" as well as becoming one of the most well-known fighters in Thailand alongside Namphon. He was also referred to by Thai audiences as Jom Taina (The Plowman), Khun Khao Phanom Rung (Phanom Rung Knee Striker), and Jomyuth Phanom Rung (The Phanom Rung Martial Artist).[3][6]

Peak of Muay Thai career

edit

From 1989 and onwards Namkabuan was only matched up against fighters who fought at the competitive ceiling of the flyweight to junior lightweight divisions except for the 2 v 1 fight where he fought 2 heavier French fighters. In December 1992, he was the favorite in his matchup against Robert Kaennorasing in Rajadamnern Stadium. Robert surprised the audiences by controlling Namkabuan's aggression throughout the fight to the point where Robert felt safe enough to taunt him; both fighters earned the 1992 Fight of the Year award.[12]: 20:23–36:13  Oley Kiatoneway and the heavier Sakmongkol Sithchuchok were 2 of the most significant rivals in his career, with Namkabuan having a record of 6 total wins and 6 total losses against both fighters.[citation needed]

Namkabuan was both praised and criticized for using many clinches to defeat Dokmaipa, Detduang, and Toto from the Por.Pongsawang gym.[4]: 9:59  His 2 fights against Sangtiennoi Sor.Rungrot were praised as the best in his career[3] with Namkabuan beating him in both fights even if Sangtiennoi was fighting at 154.32 lbs/70 kg at the time.[13][7]: 14:32, 18:17  Namkabuan also fought against Ramon Dekkers twice, losing the first time and winning their second fight in Morocco for the La Nuit des Titans promotion. In their second bout, Dekkers did not cut weight and came in at 158.73 lbs/72 kg while Namkabuan himself was at 136.69 lbs/62 kg. Despite the massive weight disparity, the French judges gave the win to Namkabuan.[14]

In 1991, after being ranked as the #2 junior featherweight (122 lbs/55.34 kg) fighter in Lumpinee Stadium, Namkabuan could not challenge the Lumpinee Featherweight (126 lbs/57.15 kg) title since it belonged to Namphon.[4] He instead challenged Cherry Sor.Wanich for his Lumpinee Junior Lightweight title (130 lbs/58.97 kg), a belt that Cherry defended against Therdkiat Sitthepitak and Superlek Sorn E-Sarn.[15] Namkabuan would be awarded the title and defended it 5 times throughout 6 years. After defending it against "The Batman" Samkor Kiatmontep in December 1996, the Lumpinee Stadium officials could not find a challenger for Namkabuan in the following 6 months and forced him to give up the title.[14] The highest fight purse Namkabuan received was ฿250,000. Namkabuan would win the Yodmuaythai (Best of Muay Thai) trophy twice against Sangtiennoi and Sakmongkol despite weighing less than them.[7] Namkabuan credits his 2nd fight against Dekkers to be the most difficult in his career.[6]

Decline and later years

edit

On 11 March 1995, Rainbow Sor.Prantalay fell out of the ring while plowing Den Muangsurin, something that also often happened to Namkabuan when he plowed. Rainbow collided with the edge of the ring and the concrete floor, breaking his neck and putting him out of competition for months. Plowing was banned at the end of 1995, taking away Namkabuan's trademark technique.[10][16]: 41:47–47:55  In 1996, Namkabuan opened a mu kratha restaurant in Khorat, something that Namphon also did. He found that he could earn more money by running the restaurant than fighting, thus he shifted his focus on being a restaurateur.[4] He retired from Muay Thai that year, but still occasionally participated in match ups in the following years. Both he and Namphon would open multiple Korean barbeque restaurants throughout Khorat which made them wealthy in the early 2000s.[3][17][18]

Namkabuan married Khop Hoymook, the daughter of his former boss and head trainer Pramot Hoymook. The two were already together before Namkabuan retired from Muay Thai.[3] They bore 2 daughters, one of whom is a veterinarian and the other a singer. Namkabuan's daughters were initially unaware he was a famous Muay Thai fighter and had to be informed about his past by one of their PE teachers.[4]

Death

edit

Around 4 years after Namphon passed away, Namkabuan was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in January 2021. He passed away on 10:00 PM of 7 April 2021 at 48 years old in Maharat Hospital, Nakhon Ratchasima province.[19] It was believed that his cancer was caused by inhaling smoke in the kitchens of his restaurants for approximately 25 years. It was also believed that Namkabuan smoked tobacco,[20] but Pramot Hoymook denied the possibility that he ever used the substance.[7]: 12:58  Namkabuan's funeral was witnessed by numerous attendants including various yodmuay such as Dieselnoi Chor.Thanasukarn, Karuhat Sor.Supawan, and Pudpadnoi Worawut.[21]
