How good is this WBO titlist? I've only seen him fight once against Tim Austin and he showed good aggressiveness but seems like he would have trouble with movers. Are there any other Thai 118 pounders that are better than him besides Veraphol Sahaprom? Does he have the chance to keep his title against Mauricio Martinez of Mexico when the mandatory fight happens?

Your right jont, he has problems with movers like Tim Austin and Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson 'coz he's basically a counterpuncher. He was also TKO'd by Gerry Penalosa a slugger/counterpuncher with fast hands. I think he has slowed and he got KD'd by a journeyman named Joel Bauya in his last fight (11th of Nov. '04). I don't see him holding on to that WBO belt for long if he fights a legit contender @ 115, unless of course he'll be protected and fight contenders in the lower rungs of the WBO's list. Poonsawat KratingdaengGym is an untested prospect but may be the one to replace Sor Vorapin or Sahaprom. I haven't seen a fight of this Martinez so i can't say Sor Vorapin's chances here.
