Rigo is one of my favorites, and i expect him to demonstrate pure boxing skill. I love watching him fight..he's a difficult opponent. If Rigo aint up agaisnt someone who is agressive and willing to take risks, its going to be a boring ass fight though but still love to watch it! I love when Rigo feels the need to entice his opponent to come forward by throwing a punch at 1/17th the speed he would normally throw it, so awesome to watch. .definietly a talented fighter!

My friend I don't wanna sound like a fan boy..just records...And over that he is the undefeated WBA champion of the world..he floored every single of his opponents..and he is maybe the best amateur boxer of all times with more than 400 wins with nearly 200 kos ..two times Olympic gold medallist..doesn't get better than this my friend..

you are sounding like a fan boy. Amateur record IS NOT the PROs! I dont care AT ALL if he had 1000 Amateur fights with 900 kos ... Its meaningless in the pros. Sometimes long Am careers back fire. Some people have ver little and become World class champions...To each their own! He is from Cuba look i understand. You sure aint saying nothing about Dodie Boy are you? i live in miami and my closest friends are cuban so i understand you reason for thinking such. You just need to be more open minded!

Yeah being sarcastic is sometimes hard to pick up

The other time being a bout he fought in Germany (where Poon lost a UD). Kratingdaenggym lost a UD in Japan. So, of the three previous times Poon fought outside of Thailand, he lost twice.

Poonsawat has never been stopped and never been down.

The UD against Sidorenko should have been a definite win for him. A little Asian guy fighting an undefeated, prime champion in Germany? He'd have had to KO Wladimir just to get a draw. Either way, he won that fight and his other fight outside Asia when he knocked out the undefeated champion Dunne in 3 rounds.

He did lose to the Japanese guy, but he looked strangely off that night and it was still a very close fight.

His record should be/is (reality without corruption) 49-1 (33 KO).

He's past his best, but certainly not shot yet.

I haven't seen Poon in a while but if he's anything like the Poon I remember in 2008/09 he should bring more than enough heat to make this a close fight and maybe ko glass jawed hypejob Rigo.

[mathed]

I think that Poon will pressure him and make it an uncomfortable, ugly fight for Rigs. UD win for Rigs but he wont like the type of fight that it is and he will be defensive.
