18 of the Fighters in the 1988 Rajadamnern Rankings (March) Are in the Library (Patreon)

It's pretty amazing how much we've been able to document in the Muay Thai Library so far. I've been studying old Muay Thai magazines and archiving relevant articles I run into, and came across this in Fighter magazine this morning. Back in the day, rankings for each stadium were printed in the various magazines on a monthly basis. This list for Rajadamnern is absolutely stacked, showing just how dominant you had to be to become champion at that time. I've underlined all the fighters who are in the Muay Thai Library, so that you can go check them out.
