[ProBox1]

Another Filipino boxer, Jack Asis, has been knocked out in a bout against IBF Pan Pacific featherweight champion Fahprakorb Rakkiatgym a few days after Jun Verano was also knocked out in his Pan Asia Boxing Association super flyweight title fight against Thai champion Komrit Lukkuongmuekol.

Fahprakorb started aggressively and hammered Asis with a series of combinations to the body and head, quickly wearing down the Filipino challenger. In the fourth round the Thai champion picked up the tempo and connected with a number of telling blows that had Asis in deep trouble. Fahprakorb continued to batter Asis at the start of round five forcing referee Samphan Saengakart to step In and stop the massacre.

The 29 year old Fahprakorb improved his record to 44-3 with 35 knockouts while Asis dropped to 10-3. Fahprakorb was the IBF No. 1 junior featherweight when he suffered a devastating first round KO against then champion Manny Pacquiao on October 26, 2002. Fahprakorb looked impressive against Asis who was staggering in the neutral corner when the referee called a halt.

What's the deal with these KOs?

What's the deal with these KOs?

The question is -- is this really a news? The Filipino boxer didn't even have a descent boxing record and yet he was the object of the title. However if you look at the article it talks more about the Thai fighter.

This is bad journalism in action (just my humble opinion). And the title sucks; it would have been better it it was: Former Pacquiao Challenger Wins In Thailand or (something like that).
