Dunne-Kratingdaenggym: Possible Weight Issue?

[Gorgeous George]

I don't like football.



lol exactly.

What time is the weigh-in today?

What happens if Kratingdaenggym can't make weight - will it be on as a non-title fight?

Bernard Dunne and Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym have both made the weight for their Super-Bantamweight World title fight at the O2 on Saturday night, with the Thai boxer coming in right on the 122lbs limit.

Dunne, meanwhile tipped the scales at 121lbs and 8 ounces.

Poonsawat took four attempts before officials were satisfied that he was inside the limit.

Hey jammer.
I am liking Dunne's advantages.
1) Poon flew in late
2) Poon was overlimit and had to drain
3) He's got the Irish stew- home cooking in an arena everyone is cheering for him.
4) Poon is great but he hasn't fought a really talented guy since Somsak and Somsak is past it. He's fought better guys earlier in his career.


But if it's the same relentless Poon that's known as the Manny Pacquiao of Thailand, Dunne is in trouble.

But Dunne seems to have a lot of advantages, except possibly chin in this one.

I think Barry is taking this too personally.

Anyways, it's good to see that Poon made weight.

Hey J, I hear you on that man. Can you tell me, I don't know if you have ever seen the Kiko Martinez vs Dunne fight, but Martinez overwhelmed Dunne's poor defence and dropped him three times. Would you say Poonsawat is of a similar style to Martinez...I know the experience and quality would be vastly greater, but you know what I mean.

I'm wondering how much Dunne's defence has tightened up since then, because I don't think he was ever really hurt against Kiko on the first two knockdowns, just more a case of being bulled over perhaps and Dunne leaving his hands down. Poonsawat may be able to rush him early. That's what I'm worried about mainly.

I see Dunne winning a decision though, taking into account the disadvantages to Poonsawat you have stated too.

I apologized to starjammer for his lack of irish football knowledge... but demise is ******.
