Somboon Pantasi ( Thai: สมบุญ พานตะสี; born July 11, 1972 in Changhan, Roi-Et, Thailand), nicknamed Samson Isaan ( Thai: แซมซั่น ดัทช์บอยยิม) is a Thai former Muay Thai fighter and boxer. During the 1990s, Samson came to be known as one of the most popular Muay Bouk fighters ( pressure fighters) in the Muay Thai circuit during the sport's golden era.

There are several ways to anglicize his nickname such as Samson E-sarn, Samson Isan, Samson Esarn, etc. As a Muay Thai fighter, his official ring name was Saenmuangnoi Lukjaopormehasak ( Thai: แสนเมืองน้อย ลูกเจ้าพ่อมเหศักดิ์). As a boxer, he was internationally known under the ring name of Samson Dutch Boy Gym ( Thai: แซมซั่น ดัทช์บอยยิม).

Early life

Childhood and beginning of Muay Thai career

Somboon Pantasi was born on July 11, 1972 in Changhan district, Roi Et province located in the Isaan region. His personal nickname is Joy ( Thai: จ่อย). His father, Naipon, and his mother, Laem, were impoverished farmers with 9 children. They also raised cows in their home village of Ban Bak in tambon Phak Waen. Laem passed away when Somboon was 6-years-old. After completing primary school, he could not continue his education since his family could not afford it. Since becoming a Muay Thai fighter was the only option he had to escape poverty, [1] he started training at home and began his fighting career at the age of 12 under the ring name of Ayjoy Sitsiansai. After achieving a winning streak starting with his first fight, he joined the Sitkru-Am gym and began training under Pratan "Kru Am" Chantaret. He then adopted the ring name of Saenmuangnoi Sitkru-Am (The latter half of this ring name, Sitkru-Am, translates to "student of Kru Am"). After winning numerous fights in Isaan with Kru Am's coaching, he later transferred to and began living in the popular Lukjaopormehasak gym which was owned by Prisak "Pele" Inthapan. There, Pantasi would become a teammate of "The Elbow Hunter of 100 Stitches" Yodkhunpon Sittraiphum and changed his ring name to Saenmuangnoi Lukjaopormehasak. [2] [3] [4]: 3:27–4:56 

During his time taking Muay Thai matchups in the Isaan region, the only person who was able to beat Pantasi was Saenklai Sit Kru Od, another fighter who was born in Isaan. In the Lukjaopormehasak gym, Pantasi became more adept with pressure fighting and punching under the tutelage of Apisit Petsanghan, a former gold medalist in the 1998 Thailand National Games. He was also trained by Tawat Petsanghan, a police officer. Samson would jog for 8-10 laps around the Bueng Planchai park every morning and again for 2 laps in the after noon, totaling around 11.1–12.4 mi (18–20 km) everyday. He ended his training at 7 pm by throwing hundreds of knee strikes on punching bags. At this time, Samson ate all his meals in the Bandit restaurant owned by Khundaeng Inthapan, Prisak's wife. He helped run the restaurant when he was able. The Onesongchai promotion, owned by Songchai Rattanasuban, was Pantasi's first Muay Thai promotion. Rattanasuban wanted him to take Muay Thai fights in Bangkok, but it was believed that Pantasi's short stature, dark skin, and facial features would prevent him from becoming popular in the capital city. The promotion instead had him fight in the Samrong Stadium where he would begin his rise to fame. He showcased his Muay Bouk style, pressuring forward with strikes of wide variety. His voracious fighting style attracted high numbers of audiences in the Samrong Stadium and resulted in the nickname of Samson Isaan (translates to "Samson of Isaan" or "Samson from Isaan") based off of the biblical figure. [2] [4]: 3:01–3:15 

Rise to popularity in Bangkok

Samson was an orthodox fighter when he was younger but later switched to southpaw later on in his Muay Thai career. [5]: 59:00–59:15  Notably, he fought in an orthodox stance at 17-years-old for the 100 lbs (45.36 kg) Thailand title in 1989 against Rittidej Sor.Ploenchit in Samrong stadium. [6] He also beat the experienced Nongnarong Looksamrong 3 times. Samson eventually ran out of opponents in the Samrong Stadium, hence he transferred to the Petchyindee promotion owned by Virat Vachirarattanawong to begin competing primarily in the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. Due to his popularity, each fight that he participated in produced around a million baht or more in profit for the stadium. [2] From 1990–1992, Samson himself was usually earning between ฿100,000 to ฿250,000 (equivalent to ฿220,390 to ฿509,216 in 2020) per fight. [7]

Samson was a Muay Bouk and Muay Khao hybrid fighter, meaning that he was a pressure fighter who was also adept at clinch fighting. [8] After beating other elite fighters in 1990 including Takrawlek Dejrath, Kiewmorakot Praianan, and Denthaksin Sor.Suwanpakdee, 1991 was the most significant period of Samson's career. He had 11 fights with no losses after he was matched up against Thongchai Tor.Silachai, Pepsi Biyapan, Graiwannoi Sit Kru Od, among others. Samson had what is considered to be one of the best fights in his career against Veeraphol Sahaprom, [2] a Muay Maat fighter (fighter who focuses on punches and low kicks). Both fighters were evenly matched in round 1 and the betting odds moved in slight favor of Veerapol in the second. However, Samson later knocked out Veerapol with punches, winning the Super Flyweight Muay Thai World title. [9]: 56:25–1:05:46  In his next fight, Samson would win the Lumpinee Bantamweight title against Saenklai Sit Kru Od by way of knockout. [3] He was 19-years-old when he was awarded the 1991 Fighter of the Year Award by the Sports Writers Association of Thailand, the most prestigious variant of the Fighter of the Year award in the country. [10]

1992 was also a significant year of Samson's Muay Thai career. He extended his 11-fight unbeaten streak by beating Muay Maat fighter Chartchainoi Chaorai-Oi. The streak was broken by Muay Khao fighter (knee fighter) Langsuan Panyuthaphum; Samson was then awarded ฿270,000 (equivalent to ฿567,963 in 2020), the highest fight purse in his pre-boxing career even though he lost against Langsuan. In between his 2 losses to Jaroensak Kiatnakornchon, Samson was able to beat knockout artist Lakhin Wassandasit, a Muay Maat fighter who had just won the Isuzu-sponsored tournament and was at top form at the time. Taweesaklek Ploysakda, a Muay Bouk fighter referred to as "The Sadist" by the Thai media had his final fight against Samson. In their bout, Taweesaklek's lingering injury on his left eye was aggravated and had to be treated by surgeries. He retired afterwards. Lakhin then had his rematch in August wherein he became the first person to knock down Samson. [11] The third match between them had the Rajadamnern 115 lbs title at stake; Samson won the fight and earned the championship. Samson concluded his trilogy against Jaroensak by knocking him out. [3]

Final Muay Thai fights before career switch

After starting 1993 by knocking out Kiewmorakot Praianan and beating Dara-Ek Sitrungsap, Samson went into a 4-fight losing streak, during which Veerapol Sahaprom became the first person to KO Samson. [11] Samson then went into a 4-fight win streak afterwards. For his final fight of 1993, Samson and his opponent Detduang Por.Pongsawang were awarded the Lumpinee Stadium Fight of the Year award for their bout in December. Both fighters had great difficulty against each other and Detduang came out of the fight with a bloodied forehead. Samson would only have 3 Muay Thai fights in 1994, retiring from the sport after losing to Dara-Ek. [3]

He and Saenklai Sit Kru Od were noted for their 11-fight rivalry against each other with Samson getting 5 wins and Saenklai getting 6. Samson was matched up against Karuhat Sor.Supawan but the fight did not take place. His knockout victories against Veerapol Sahaprom and Pepsi Biyapan were considered to be the best fights in his pre-boxing career. Samson was 22-years-old when he switched to boxing. [2]

Boxing career

Shifting his focus to boxing, he changed his ring name to Samson which was previously just a moniker but not his official ring name. [12] As a boxer, he would also represent various Thailand-based companies in his ring name. Krating Daeng, 3K Battery (SamK Battery), Dutch Boy, and Toyota Thailand either owned or sponsored boxing gyms which Samson represented. Within Thailand, his most referred-to boxing ring name was Samson Krating Daeng Gym, meanwhile he was mainly referred to internationally as Samson Dutch Boy Gym. Samson's first boxing fight was held in 1992, in the middle of his prime Muay Thai years. He would only resume boxing 2 months after his final Muay Thai fight in 1994. [7] [13] [14] [15]

In his 3rd professional boxing fight, Samson beat his first top opponent, Philippine champion Dan Nietes, by decision. He won the minor World Boxing Federation (WBF) World Super Flyweight title by TKO in September 1994 in his fourth professional fight. He had his first title defense against Indonesian challenger Ippo Gala in 1994 in Chiang Rai on the undercard of Johnny Nelson vs. Nikolay Kulpin. In total, he made 38 consecutive defenses with a final record of 43–0. As a boxer, Samson had most or all his fights in the super flyweight division where it was difficult to find reputable opponents. He faced weaker boxers but also was able to fight and beat top opponents whenever possible, such as Cruz Carbajal, Hugo Rafael Soto, and Diosdado Gabi. He held his super flyweight title for 8 years. [13] [15] His boxing fights generated millions of baht in profit. [2]

Samson was criticized for not competing in larger boxing organizations. His promoter had brought him to the United States to negotiate his fight under Don King and the president of the World Boxing Council (WBC) José Sulaimán, but the negotiations were unsuccessful. [16] In 1998, Samson was involved in a car accident and had to get rib surgery afterward. Despite the injury, he continued defending his WBF belt and retired from boxing in 2002 with no losses. [12] [13] [17] Upon finishing his combat sports career, it was rumored that he had over ฿20,000,000 in assets. [7]

Samson's purses in professional boxing were the highest in his life, reaching around ฿1,000,000. He also received gold necklaces from each of his boxing sponsors. [18] In the middle of his boxing career, Samson starred in a low-budget biographical film titled Leut Isaan (Blood of Isaan). [12] In it, he played an interpretation of himself named Samson Leut Isaan. The film was shot over 3 days and was not released in general theatres. [14]

Life after retirement from combat sports

Samson married his wife Charipda Pantasi, a police officer, [14] in around 1998. [19] Their daughter, Suchanya "Nong Am" Pantasi received her college degree from Srinakharinwirot University in 2021. Samson attempted to run a grocery store but was unsuccessful. [16] As of 2017, he co-owns a restaurant with Charipda and drives taxis as a side job. [20] He is considered to be living a happy life. [18] [21] [22]

Post-retirement Muay Thai fights

In late 2004, on the 48th anniversary of the Lumpinee Stadium, Samson participated in a Muay Thai fight against "Rambo" Pongsiri Por.Ruamrudee. [14] Samson and Veerapol had their 3rd fight in Rajadamnern Stadium on December 27, 2017. The fight was arranged by the son of Samson's former promoter, Nuttadaj Vachirarattanawong, the current owner of the Petchyindee promotion. Both fighters received a fixed purse of ฿300,000. [20] Before the fight, both men received the Best Boxer of the Country award by the Creative Media for Boxing in Thailand organization. Under the ring name of Samson Petchyindee, he won the bout with 20:1 betting odds in his favor by the end of the fight. [23]

Somboon Pantasi ( Thai: สมบุญ พานตะสี; born July 11, 1972 in Changhan, Roi-Et, Thailand), nicknamed Samson Isaan ( Thai: แซมซั่น ดัทช์บอยยิม) is a Thai former Muay Thai fighter and boxer. During the 1990s, Samson came to be known as one of the most popular Muay Bouk fighters ( pressure fighters) in the Muay Thai circuit during the sport's golden era.

There are several ways to anglicize his nickname such as Samson E-sarn, Samson Isan, Samson Esarn, etc. As a Muay Thai fighter, his official ring name was Saenmuangnoi Lukjaopormehasak ( Thai: แสนเมืองน้อย ลูกเจ้าพ่อมเหศักดิ์). As a boxer, he was internationally known under the ring name of Samson Dutch Boy Gym ( Thai: แซมซั่น ดัทช์บอยยิม).

Early life

Childhood and beginning of Muay Thai career

Somboon Pantasi was born on July 11, 1972 in Changhan district, Roi Et province located in the Isaan region. His personal nickname is Joy ( Thai: จ่อย). His father, Naipon, and his mother, Laem, were impoverished farmers with 9 children. They also raised cows in their home village of Ban Bak in tambon Phak Waen. Laem passed away when Somboon was 6-years-old. After completing primary school, he could not continue his education since his family could not afford it. Since becoming a Muay Thai fighter was the only option he had to escape poverty, [1] he started training at home and began his fighting career at the age of 12 under the ring name of Ayjoy Sitsiansai. After achieving a winning streak starting with his first fight, he joined the Sitkru-Am gym and began training under Pratan "Kru Am" Chantaret. He then adopted the ring name of Saenmuangnoi Sitkru-Am (The latter half of this ring name, Sitkru-Am, translates to "student of Kru Am"). After winning numerous fights in Isaan with Kru Am's coaching, he later transferred to and began living in the popular Lukjaopormehasak gym which was owned by Prisak "Pele" Inthapan. There, Pantasi would become a teammate of "The Elbow Hunter of 100 Stitches" Yodkhunpon Sittraiphum and changed his ring name to Saenmuangnoi Lukjaopormehasak. [2] [3] [4]: 3:27–4:56 

During his time taking Muay Thai matchups in the Isaan region, the only person who was able to beat Pantasi was Saenklai Sit Kru Od, another fighter who was born in Isaan. In the Lukjaopormehasak gym, Pantasi became more adept with pressure fighting and punching under the tutelage of Apisit Petsanghan, a former gold medalist in the 1998 Thailand National Games. He was also trained by Tawat Petsanghan, a police officer. Samson would jog for 8-10 laps around the Bueng Planchai park every morning and again for 2 laps in the after noon, totaling around 11.1–12.4 mi (18–20 km) everyday. He ended his training at 7 pm by throwing hundreds of knee strikes on punching bags. At this time, Samson ate all his meals in the Bandit restaurant owned by Khundaeng Inthapan, Prisak's wife. He helped run the restaurant when he was able. The Onesongchai promotion, owned by Songchai Rattanasuban, was Pantasi's first Muay Thai promotion. Rattanasuban wanted him to take Muay Thai fights in Bangkok, but it was believed that Pantasi's short stature, dark skin, and facial features would prevent him from becoming popular in the capital city. The promotion instead had him fight in the Samrong Stadium where he would begin his rise to fame. He showcased his Muay Bouk style, pressuring forward with strikes of wide variety. His voracious fighting style attracted high numbers of audiences in the Samrong Stadium and resulted in the nickname of Samson Isaan (translates to "Samson of Isaan" or "Samson from Isaan") based off of the biblical figure. [2] [4]: 3:01–3:15 

Rise to popularity in Bangkok

Samson was an orthodox fighter when he was younger but later switched to southpaw later on in his Muay Thai career. [5]: 59:00–59:15  Notably, he fought in an orthodox stance at 17-years-old for the 100 lbs (45.36 kg) Thailand title in 1989 against Rittidej Sor.Ploenchit in Samrong stadium. [6] He also beat the experienced Nongnarong Looksamrong 3 times. Samson eventually ran out of opponents in the Samrong Stadium, hence he transferred to the Petchyindee promotion owned by Virat Vachirarattanawong to begin competing primarily in the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. Due to his popularity, each fight that he participated in produced around a million baht or more in profit for the stadium. [2] From 1990–1992, Samson himself was usually earning between ฿100,000 to ฿250,000 (equivalent to ฿220,390 to ฿509,216 in 2020) per fight. [7]

Samson was a Muay Bouk and Muay Khao hybrid fighter, meaning that he was a pressure fighter who was also adept at clinch fighting. [8] After beating other elite fighters in 1990 including Takrawlek Dejrath, Kiewmorakot Praianan, and Denthaksin Sor.Suwanpakdee, 1991 was the most significant period of Samson's career. He had 11 fights with no losses after he was matched up against Thongchai Tor.Silachai, Pepsi Biyapan, Graiwannoi Sit Kru Od, among others. Samson had what is considered to be one of the best fights in his career against Veeraphol Sahaprom, [2] a Muay Maat fighter (fighter who focuses on punches and low kicks). Both fighters were evenly matched in round 1 and the betting odds moved in slight favor of Veerapol in the second. However, Samson later knocked out Veerapol with punches, winning the Super Flyweight Muay Thai World title. [9]: 56:25–1:05:46  In his next fight, Samson would win the Lumpinee Bantamweight title against Saenklai Sit Kru Od by way of knockout. [3] He was 19-years-old when he was awarded the 1991 Fighter of the Year Award by the Sports Writers Association of Thailand, the most prestigious variant of the Fighter of the Year award in the country. [10]

1992 was also a significant year of Samson's Muay Thai career. He extended his 11-fight unbeaten streak by beating Muay Maat fighter Chartchainoi Chaorai-Oi. The streak was broken by Muay Khao fighter (knee fighter) Langsuan Panyuthaphum; Samson was then awarded ฿270,000 (equivalent to ฿567,963 in 2020), the highest fight purse in his pre-boxing career even though he lost against Langsuan. In between his 2 losses to Jaroensak Kiatnakornchon, Samson was able to beat knockout artist Lakhin Wassandasit, a Muay Maat fighter who had just won the Isuzu-sponsored tournament and was at top form at the time. Taweesaklek Ploysakda, a Muay Bouk fighter referred to as "The Sadist" by the Thai media had his final fight against Samson. In their bout, Taweesaklek's lingering injury on his left eye was aggravated and had to be treated by surgeries. He retired afterwards. Lakhin then had his rematch in August wherein he became the first person to knock down Samson. [11] The third match between them had the Rajadamnern 115 lbs title at stake; Samson won the fight and earned the championship. Samson concluded his trilogy against Jaroensak by knocking him out. [3]

Final Muay Thai fights before career switch

After starting 1993 by knocking out Kiewmorakot Praianan and beating Dara-Ek Sitrungsap, Samson went into a 4-fight losing streak, during which Veerapol Sahaprom became the first person to KO Samson. [11] Samson then went into a 4-fight win streak afterwards. For his final fight of 1993, Samson and his opponent Detduang Por.Pongsawang were awarded the Lumpinee Stadium Fight of the Year award for their bout in December. Both fighters had great difficulty against each other and Detduang came out of the fight with a bloodied forehead. Samson would only have 3 Muay Thai fights in 1994, retiring from the sport after losing to Dara-Ek. [3]

He and Saenklai Sit Kru Od were noted for their 11-fight rivalry against each other with Samson getting 5 wins and Saenklai getting 6. Samson was matched up against Karuhat Sor.Supawan but the fight did not take place. His knockout victories against Veerapol Sahaprom and Pepsi Biyapan were considered to be the best fights in his pre-boxing career. Samson was 22-years-old when he switched to boxing. [2]

Boxing career

Shifting his focus to boxing, he changed his ring name to Samson which was previously just a moniker but not his official ring name. [12] As a boxer, he would also represent various Thailand-based companies in his ring name. Krating Daeng, 3K Battery (SamK Battery), Dutch Boy, and Toyota Thailand either owned or sponsored boxing gyms which Samson represented. Within Thailand, his most referred-to boxing ring name was Samson Krating Daeng Gym, meanwhile he was mainly referred to internationally as Samson Dutch Boy Gym. Samson's first boxing fight was held in 1992, in the middle of his prime Muay Thai years. He would only resume boxing 2 months after his final Muay Thai fight in 1994. [7] [13] [14] [15]

In his 3rd professional boxing fight, Samson beat his first top opponent, Philippine champion Dan Nietes, by decision. He won the minor World Boxing Federation (WBF) World Super Flyweight title by TKO in September 1994 in his fourth professional fight. He had his first title defense against Indonesian challenger Ippo Gala in 1994 in Chiang Rai on the undercard of Johnny Nelson vs. Nikolay Kulpin. In total, he made 38 consecutive defenses with a final record of 43–0. As a boxer, Samson had most or all his fights in the super flyweight division where it was difficult to find reputable opponents. He faced weaker boxers but also was able to fight and beat top opponents whenever possible, such as Cruz Carbajal, Hugo Rafael Soto, and Diosdado Gabi. He held his super flyweight title for 8 years. [13] [15] His boxing fights generated millions of baht in profit. [2]

Samson was criticized for not competing in larger boxing organizations. His promoter had brought him to the United States to negotiate his fight under Don King and the president of the World Boxing Council (WBC) José Sulaimán, but the negotiations were unsuccessful. [16] In 1998, Samson was involved in a car accident and had to get rib surgery afterward. Despite the injury, he continued defending his WBF belt and retired from boxing in 2002 with no losses. [12] [13] [17] Upon finishing his combat sports career, it was rumored that he had over ฿20,000,000 in assets. [7]

Samson's purses in professional boxing were the highest in his life, reaching around ฿1,000,000. He also received gold necklaces from each of his boxing sponsors. [18] In the middle of his boxing career, Samson starred in a low-budget biographical film titled Leut Isaan (Blood of Isaan). [12] In it, he played an interpretation of himself named Samson Leut Isaan. The film was shot over 3 days and was not released in general theatres. [14]

Life after retirement from combat sports

Samson married his wife Charipda Pantasi, a police officer, [14] in around 1998. [19] Their daughter, Suchanya "Nong Am" Pantasi received her college degree from Srinakharinwirot University in 2021. Samson attempted to run a grocery store but was unsuccessful. [16] As of 2017, he co-owns a restaurant with Charipda and drives taxis as a side job. [20] He is considered to be living a happy life. [18] [21] [22]

Post-retirement Muay Thai fights

In late 2004, on the 48th anniversary of the Lumpinee Stadium, Samson participated in a Muay Thai fight against "Rambo" Pongsiri Por.Ruamrudee. [14] Samson and Veerapol had their 3rd fight in Rajadamnern Stadium on December 27, 2017. The fight was arranged by the son of Samson's former promoter, Nuttadaj Vachirarattanawong, the current owner of the Petchyindee promotion. Both fighters received a fixed purse of ฿300,000. [20] Before the fight, both men received the Best Boxer of the Country award by the Creative Media for Boxing in Thailand organization. Under the ring name of Samson Petchyindee, he won the bout with 20:1 betting odds in his favor by the end of the fight. [23]
