These sound like some cracking fights. None of the top three on here are bum versus star which tends to happen in Asia quite a bit .

These are definitely stream worthy if anyone has a stream.

Vorapin is old, slow, and had been knocked-out by several pinoy boxers. I guess this thai boxer is just a stepping-stone for pinoy prospects...a sort of practice session

Ronnie's promotion of local fighters is always funny. His description of Banal's last opponent, Matumla, as "highly touted" makes me wonder --by whom? Dude is 34 and had been knocked out in 5 rounds in his most recent fight with a decent opponent. He had never beaten anybody worth note. Now it's bull**** about Sor Vorapin, who was briefly WBO champion four years ago but who has been KO'd in two of this last three fights. Ronnie must be getting a cut from the promoters
