Intercontinental Champion of the (W.K.A)

Just a small list of accomplishments
36 and 0 pro record but 200 pro fights...it doesn't add up. Also, I don't recall him being a Lumpinee champ. He's good, don't get me wrong. But he's not great or legendary by thai standards, IMO. Got more fame once he came to the U.S. than he did in Thailand.
