Real name: Charin Sorndee. Birthplace: Tambon Huakoon, Nakornluang District. Birth date December 26, 1961. Dieselnoi had his first boxing training with Banchong Ngarm-ket who is the owner of the "Sor Banchongsak" training camp. His first boxing name then was Dieselnoi Sor Banchongsak. Although he weighed only 32 kilograms at that time, he was never defeated. After 4-5 bouts, he changed camp and Thai boxed at Sri Raja District, Chol Buri Province. For a while under the name "Dieselnoi Sor Vorakulchai."
He was the constant winner throughout his twenty odd bouts there. Then he joined the Chor Thanasukarn although but still Thai boxed under his old name. In 1969, he changed his name and boxed for the Chor Thanasukarn camp, run by the energetic Somchai and Sirinand Duangprasertdee. He has remained with this camp up until now at the height of his fame with no one daring to challenge him. This long-legged boxer is 183 centimeters tall. And his height is put to its maximum use. He has been trained to use his knees as his deadly weapon, and he is certainly good at it. His opponents, one after another, have been downed by his overpowering knee attacks. in 1981, he outscored Kaopong Sittichoochai, winning the Lightweight championship at Lumpinni Stadium. He was champion for four consecutive years without any challenger. And this is why he simply had to quit the post.
His extraordinary knee attacks have become a legend. He came out a winner in almost all 50 odd bouts. To list only some of his important ones -- one victory, two defeats with Vicharnnoi and four victories, one defeat with Padejsuek Pisanurachan (his defeat was a scandal since Dieselnoi only had a small cut but was unexpectedly declared defeated in a technical knock-out. The decision later brought out fierce protest). His other opponents who found him more than a match included Nonekai Sor Prapassorn, Narongnoi Kiatbandhit, Kaosod Sitpraprom, Noi Sakornpitak, and Pohsai Sittiboonlert. Dieselnoi was once outscored by Pravit Sridhani but the record remained so only because the two fighters have not had a chance to meet again.
Ironically, since Dieselnoi has proved to be too good a Thai boxer, no one dares challenge him, thus making him a "spinster" fighter. At the end of 1982, Dieselnoi was matched against Samart Payakaroon who is dubbed "The outstanding Muay Thai Boxer." But Dieselnoi rushed to his opponent, flashing out his mighty knee kicks and outscoring Saniart with flying colors. 'There was a long interval after this match before he had a chance to fight again, this time with Sakad Petyindee on June 7, 1984. Again, it was Dieselnoi's overpowering knee kicks that had won him the bout with beautiful scores.
Nowadays whenever there are foreign boxers coming here looking for a match, Dieselnoi is the favorite choice to represent Thailand. This is the same when Thai boxers are chosen to box outside the country. On July 27, 1984, Dieselnoi was matched against Peter Cunningham, a karate champion, at the Olympic Stadium, Los Angeles, USA. With high speed and precision, Dieselnoi attacked his opponent with his forceful knee kick. And he won, without much sweat.

Dieselnoi shows the brutal fluidity of Muay Thai. His build and aggression really allows the flow of hard shots high and low and outside and in the grapple.

Nice bump!

This thread deserved a bump....the fact Payakaroon fought him proves his bravery even further, no wonder he's idolised by the Thais.

Payakaroon was brave to fight Dieselnoi, I really wish the pro bout was available to us. In the exhibition though, I thought it was interesting that Samart looked pretty helpless in the clinch for the most part and wonder if that was the story in their actual fight? the actually bout video seems equally as elusive as Harry Greb fight video.:?

Well it is pretty much the Greb-Tunney of MT ;-) As far as I know it was never filmed. I'll ask around next time I'm over there.

Supposedly he was, from what I've read it was Dieselnois knees in the clinch that won him the decision. He was a bit naturally bigger than Samart (weightwise) even in their primes.

His height is just ridiculous, I've spent time in Thailand and have never seen as big a Thai bloke, and I've some pretty hench doormen over there.
