    How big of an upset is this really? I don't know much about the challenger.

      Now that I look on boxrec I also see that Wongjongkam has already beaten him twice so winning 2/3 doesn't necessarily warrant retirement does it?

        Yeah, I smell a fix and HUGE cash out.

          As a former fighter living in Japan, I can definitely verify how crooked the Japanese are. None of their so-called "world" champions fought a credible top ten opponent, nor have any of them had to travel outside of Japan to fight for a title. These guys pay the WBA and WBC BIG LOOT to give undeserving "fighters" title shots. It's not uncommon to see guys with less than 10 fights under their belts getting title shots.

            he's been quite well looked after really.. alot of people say he got a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG count when hussein put him down a while back.. hussein being one of the only fighters with a pulse wongjongkam has taken on.


            looks like donaire is in a good position to clean up
            Hussein didn't drop Wonjonkam.
