Video: Fighter earns astonishing 374th career win with vicious knockout punch | ONE Friday Fights 81

It’s not every day that fight fans witness a 374th career win, but that’s exactly what happened early Friday (Sept. 27, 2024) at ONE Friday Fights 81 from inside Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

One of the main card matchups featured veteran Muay Thai fighter, Sam-A Gaiyanghadao, making another trip to the ring against a relatively inexperienced and much younger prospect, Akram Hamidi. The 40-year-old Sam -A was looking to capture the 374th win of his long and storied career. He had suffered a bad knockout loss his last time out back in June 2023 so this was a big test for the aging veteran.

It didn’t take long for Sam-A to win the battle of spacing and create an opportunity to deliver another finish to add to his insanely long resume. After about 70 seconds of action, Sam-A uncorked a vicious left cross that caught Hamidi flush and sent him crashing to the canvas. Hamidi was completely out so the referee immediately stepped in for the stoppage.

While the one-punch knockout was memorable in its own right, the fact that this was Sam-A’s 374th victory of his career is even more insane. With only 49 losses and nine draws scattered around those 374 wins a case can be made that Sam-A is one of the best Muay Thai fighters ever. At least when it comes to longevity in the sport.
