How in the world was Pong even in the top 10 p4p list anyhow? They should know street fights and paying bums to get their asses kicked in public don't count.
    seiously, why is it that ppl who have no idea who a fighter is and who the names on their resume is feel the need to comment on said fighter anyways? just to make themselves feel good? or just so they can pretend they think they know what they are talking about? its perplexing to me.

    • This is unthinkable. Seeing a champion like Pong get badly beaten is an almost like a torture to me. Like someone already said, his reflexes were gone. It's probably because damage had accumulated in his body. I'm sure he was able to see the punches coming, but he no longer had what it takes to evade those shots... No need to do a rematch. Pong had a great, I mean, maybe one of the greatest ring campaigns in the recent history of pro boxing. Time to hang your gloves up and start thinking about your family. Thanks for lots of great fights.

      • I hope this happens to Chris John next. Gets beaten by one of his cherrypicks in his own hometown

        • 83 wins my ass, most of these were against bums and boxers without a single professional win!!! So what if he was champion for 10 years, who did he fight in that time; Naito, Miranda, Kameda, Sosa. TELL ME WHO ELSE DID HE BEAT!!??? HOF my ass, there are dozens of fighters around at the moment with MUCH better records!! Delighted!! Hope this happens to John & Strum soon!!

            Ring's #2 and #3 at 115 right now; Hussein Hussein before Arce. It's not super deep but there's more than what you note as others have indicated. There's a lot to be said for who he didn't fight (I'll have something on it this week) but these indignant "who" arguments since yesterday are laughable. If you don't know who, look into it.

              Where was Pong on your p4p list, Cliff?

                9. I didn't have him there for years but had him there after Kameda. His longevity and closing run (with Miranda, Kameda, Sosa, and Sur Rung) were enough to make him at least debatable for the Hall. I don't think he had a very strong case before that despite #'s. I think when I do the Measured Piece this week, and folks really think about who was at Fly that he didn't fight in the last ten years, the Hall question gets a LOT muddier.

                You can just click on the site's list in the future. That's mine. It's improved since I got a wee much carried away with Parra a few years back.

He was able to get off well in spots and his hand speed is still decent in combo, but his defensive reflexes were nowhere and he was really pushing shots and falling forward bad in spots. A lot of headbutts too. The crowd silence was almost eerie at the end.



                    Admitting to almost complete ignorance is a start. In 2009, he beat Miranda (then-future now former 112 lb. titlist); 2010 he beat Kameda (reigning champ) and Sur Rungvisai (current titlist at 15; Won also has a 2007 KO win over reigning 15 titlist Tomo Shimizu, who beat Cazares last year); and last year he beat a Sosa who'd been one of the better little men of the last ten years.

                    Not a single one? Or you don't know of whence you speak?

                    Let's flip a coin.

                    Wonjongkam may not have been one of the GOAT or anything, but some of the reactions in this thread are shining examples of the internet's ability to let silly off the leash.
                    i lot of people dont know how hard it is for the lower weights to retain their titles for a long time not to mention a long career ...

                    yes pongsaklek may have padding on his record but he did pretty well ...

                      actually it is common in Asia away fights to win you have to KO the opponent, home fighter are always given the benefit in a competitive contest, this is an exception to the rule as the fight was not close..
