I feel that even if Bernard Dunne had followed his game plan of jabbing and keeping his distance, the fight would have just been a tko or ko later rather than earlier.
Poonsawat walked through his heaviest stuff unfazed so it was just a matter of time before Dunne could cease to hold him off.
Poon is known for taking shots and for keeping coming. He also has fought some excellent boxers such as Sidorenko, a better version of Cordoba, Somsak (although on the decline still a force) for example so I think Dunne would've had to be on that level to get the decision and he's clearly not.
Poon also hits very hard. He is able to get in and connect while eating some leather . I think Dunne clearly underestimated his left hook as that's the punch that dropped Dunne at least twice. And the thing is, his right hand is more vicious so Dunne was guarding against that.
Dunne's defense isn't very good but I guess that's what made the Cordoba fight so compelling.
Poon is probably top 3 in the world in this division, so I don't think it's the worst loss ever and I applaud Dunne for taking such a wicked challenging fight.
