I wonder if Poon had trouble making weight, his face looks drawn. IIRC, he had to weigh in a few times for the Dunne fight, though, he arrived late in Dublin. Didn't hear anything about him having trouble for Hosono.
I was a bit disappointed at first when I found out he's fighting this guy, but he said in an interview that he didn't receive any good offers, so he took this fight. Nothing wrong with staying busy, I guess.
Kaosai Galaxy is thai.
Kaosai its a monster thats what it is, i am surprised that almost nobody mentionts this guy and IMO its p4p one of the strongest 1punch KO fighters ive ever seen
Remember when i first saw Poonsawat fight Dunne i taught this is why everyone at 122 ducked him such a tough cunt with good power without a doubt the best at 122 at the moment
Yea I saw him first in the Dunne fight too. He seems to use pressure so effectively and force his opponents to exchange. That never seems to work out well for them.

khaosai galaxy is thai.
as a fairly knowledgable boxing fan I'm ashamed to say I have no idea who these two men are....
Kimura's nothing to write home about, but Poonsawat's probably the top super bantam weight in the world. He quite an exciting pressure fighter with some vids up on youtube. He has some good wins over Bernard Dunne, Ricardo Cordoba, Satashi Hosono and Somsak Sithwatchal.
There were talks of him fighting Japanese Hozumi Hasegawa in an Asian Superfight after he faced Fernando Montiel, but then Hasegawa got brutally koed.
Oh excellent, Poonsawat is a great fighter. Kimura is coming off a SD loss though, funny how he got this title shot.
Yea it does seem odd that he got this shot with the loss. But he did reel off some respectable wins prior to that so hopefully he'll be in good form. I just like watching Poon fight with his boring in pressure style, he makes any fight exciting.
