NAYPYITAW: It was the last match of the day in muay. It was against Myanmar’s local hero. And there were thousands of volatile and intimidating home fans.

But Malaysia’s Mohd Faizal Ramli rose above it all when he fought bravely to silence the home crowd with a sensational 3-0 win over Aung Myint Win in the 75kg bout at the Wunna Theikdi Sports Complex on Saturday.
