In the final four of the Muay Thai Angel’s tournament in Bangkok, Thailand, Yolanda Schmidt was able to emerge as champion after squeaking out a narrow decision over former champion Chommanee Taehiran. Schmidt was able to rely on her size and athleticism as Chommanee’s output waned her speed faded in the later rounds. The decision, albeit an unpopular one, earned Schmidt 1 Million Baht for her efforts, and a brand new car to carry her loot in case they paid her in change.
Although coming up short in two hotly contested decisions American Natalie Morgan proved by going the distance with eventual champion Yolanda Schmidt, and in her loss to Namtan Por that she belonged among the top fighters in the world. With less than a year of experience as a pro, Morgans stock is certainly on the rise.
