    Another boxer - Sakai Jockeygym - dies after a fight

    Sakai Jockeygym died in Japan today after a fight with Kazuyoshi Niki.

    Look at the difference in records - why did this fight even happen?

    And Jockeygym was normally a bantamweight, fighting a super-bantamweight.

    from fight news:


    Thai boxer Sakai dies in Japan

    By Joe Koizumi

    A sorrowful tragedy happened as Thai bantam Sakai Jockygym (2-3, 2 KOs), 121.5, passed away at hospital almost just after he was stopped by JBC#8 bantam Kazuyoshi Niki (25-3-1, 13 KOs), 122, at 1:02 of the tenth and final session on Monday in Munakata, ***uoka Prefecture, Japan. We sincerely mourn his passing. The ring victim Sakai was the Thailander who recently shattered a daydream of former three-time WBC bantam champ, ex-Japanese superstar Joichiro Tatsuyoshi’s severely criticized comeback by badly and miserably annihilating him into a TKO defeat in ****kok, Thailand, this March.

    Sakai tonight suffered a knockdown as he touched the canvas with Niki’s right counter in the opening session. The Thailander gamely fought back hard, while Niki aimed exclusively at the midsection to have him fading in later rounds. The ref declared a halt when Niki had him off balanced with a solid right without the Thailander hitting the deck midway in the final session.

      That is a good question, why did this fight take place?

      It's sad to see events like this.

            Apparently, "The ring victim Sakai was the Thailander who recently shattered a daydream of former three-time WBC bantam champ, ex-Japanese superstar Joichiro Tatsuyoshi’s severely criticized comeback"

            So they put him in a severe mismatch in Japan?

              I agree.

              These kind of mismatches are a disgrace.

                  Check out of Kazuyoshi Niki's last 7 opposition before Sakai:

                  debut
                  0-2-0
                  0-1-1
                  debut
                  0-5-0
                  0-4-0
                  0-1-0
                  talk about padding a record

                  Maybe they viewed Sakai Jockeygym as a step up in competition because he had two wins (sarcasm)

                    That japanese boxer fought almost entirely guys who were either debuting or had 4-5 fights on their records. Typical shady asian matchmaking.
