Chris John vs. Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo In The Works

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It appears a fight is in the works to match WBA featherweight champion Chris John (41-22) of Indonesia and undefeated Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo (25-0, 13KOs), a 23-year-old prospect from Thailand. Piriyapinyo is ranked at #4 by the WBC and #8 by the WBA. John is already scheduled for a defense against Michael Lozada on July 5 in Mexico. [details]

Well it'd be nice if John fought someone actually worth a damn, but this is a start.

Wow Chris John leaving Asia. Whoa, STOP the presses.

He's actually fighting in Mexico? Holy ****....

Hey wait, who's this Thai guy. No one worth mentioning. That dude fought English teachers who needed a few extra bucks.

Hey win or lose, John fought JMM and went the distance. Didn't think he ever wanted to do that **** anywhere else but Jakarta or environs.

Man John is missing out on fighting some really good fighters in his division or close to his division. Instead it seems he's content with making defenses against low quality opponents.

I think its cool that they are even letting a guy with 20+ loses fight for a title let alone hold one. Maybe good things are coming when people realize that records dont always speak the truth............Rockin'

I just noticed that. Don't know if you know, but John is undefeated.

As Johnny Carson would say, "I did not know that."

And as Jimmy The Gent would say, "who the **** are you?"

Just kiddin', thanks for the heads up on that...........Rockin'
