Therdkiat Sitthepitak (Thai: เทอดเกียรติ ศิษย์เทพพิทักษ์; born: August 29, 1970 in Buriram) is a retired Muay Thai fighter. He was a four time Lumpinee Stadium champion during the golden era of Muay Thai.

Biography and career

Somkid Crearone was born in the Buriram province where his father, a former fighter, initiated him to Muay Thai. He had his first fight at the age of 14 under the name Kiatanrong Luksakaew before switching to Therdkiat Sitphonphitak. After a few years fighting in the provinces Therdkiat was scouted by Songchai Rattanasuban who brought him to Bangkok to compete for the Onesongchai promotion and gave him the ring name "Therdkiat Sitthepitak".^[1][2]

During the first part of his stadium career Therdkiat was training practically by himself in his native province, occasionally spending a short amount of time in a Bangkok camp before a fight. In 1992 he joined the Nongkeepahuyuth camp in Bangkok where he stayed for most of his stadium career, training alongside former opponents such as Namphon Nongkeepahuyuth and Namkabuan Nongkeepahuyuth.

Over the course of his career Therdkiat became a four time Lumpinee Stadium champion, first in the featherweight division and then three times at super-featherweight, earning the nickname "The King of Lumpinee". To win his titles he defeated champions of the golden era such as Superlek Sorn E-Sarn, Phetdam Lukborai or Oley Kiatoneway.^[3]
