Comments Thread For: Kim Stoppage Win Advances Him Towards Title Shot

[Spray_resistant]

All I hear is title shot, title shot for any win against anybody, I need to see more of Kim. He lost every part of the first round until the Knock out, and this against a fighter who goes to sleep a lot. Don't rush the guy. From what I saw, he has a lot of room for improvement.

It was like last time but quicker where he was getting completely outboxed and just landed a hard shot that turned things around.

Who cares if he was getting outboxed, if his opponents can't handle his power then thats their damn fault. All you need is one punch to change a fight. And obviously Kim is very talented at taking opponents out with one punch. And Teddy Atlas already pointed out that Diaz always had that bad-habit of leaning his head to the side like that and that he believes the cornerman of Diaz once again failed at correcting the problem in the gym. Teddy Atlas even pointed it out in his fight game plan.

The fight between Gomez-Martinez was good, but the fight between two kids named Luna who were makong their debut, was amazing. Four rounds of real action, no holding, hugging, or running. Simply fighting. Thank God for Mexican fighters.

23-year old South Korean Lightweight Ji-Hoon Kim (21-5, 18 KO) lost every second of the fight on Friday night at the Laredo Energy Arena in Laredo, Texas until the one second which counted, a right hand blast setting up a stoppage win with one second left in the opening round to secure victory over 26-year Panamanian Ameth Diaz (27-10, 19 KO).

talk about shear luck...

I've only seen a few fights of Kim, so i will preserve a more accurate judgement of him for later, when his competition steps up.

He definitely possesses phenomenal power, but i think he needs to conserve his energy by picking his shots better, as he throws a lot, missing many on the way. He's lucky his power stops the fights going the distance, but we'll see in a few more fights how he adapts as the rounds wear on, when his opponents class is raised. I like what i see, so i'll be keeping my eye on him for sure. Win or lose, he's an exciting man to watch.

that looked like a rabbit punch to me, behind the head..should get a warning and dq instead of the win
