    I love how everyone calls him Poon.

    Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

    BTW, does anybody know what Thai fighters () shout after they finish their national anthem? Always wondered.....

      I'd like this fight too.

      I doubt JuanMa would go within the same hemisphere as either guy.

      I just don't see how they would get the money for him to do so.
      I doubt it ever happens but who knows? Maybe Top Rank will figure the guy with the long name isn't dangerous and put him in with Juanma on a Latin Fury PPV.

      Yeah, I'd love to see Poonsawat vs Hasegawa as well. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they put him up against Nishioka, once he moves up.

      Then again, Poonsawat essentially called him out to his face.
      Poon-Nishioka would be a good fight too. Actually Poon vs anyone is a good fight, he's never boring.

        Sure he's talented. But let's not annoint him king yet.
        To me he just needs to prove he can go 12, if he can, he's a very tough guy to beat.

        They yell Chayo, which means something like glory. It's like how the French said Allez Francais.

            I feel bad there is barely anyone there to watch these guys. These top contenders. Good fight so far.

                Johnson does some sneaky work to the body, they don't look like much but those shots add up.

                  I actually don't like the way Mack is fighting him.

                  He's got a beautiful hook but it doesn't look like he can keep Johsnon off of him.

                  Mack needs to jab more or it's going to be a very long night for him.

                    Mack is definitely standing in front of Johnson too much, you need to make the old man use his legs. There's a reason why Dawson refused to stand in front on Johnson in the rematch.

                      Johnson dropped him 3 times in the 6th. Johnson looked GREAT!
