Comments Thread For: Jaro Knocks Pongsaklek Wonjongkam Out For WBC Belt

A lot of people seem shocked, to be honest, I'm not at all surprised.

I saw this coming a mile off, I knew he was going to lose sooner or later. He's been on a visible decline for quite a while now.

Not that I thought Jaro would beat him, but, I'm not surprised he lost because I knew it was coming.

He's lucky the fight with Segura was never made.

Yep, he's been at the top for a long, long time now, especially for a Flyweight. He won the lineal title over a decade ago now!

His recent run has been brilliant as well so I don't know why anyone could possibly be wondering about him as a P4P claimant, or suggesting it has anything to do with wanting to look cool....



It has more to with him beating a slew of guys who are still champions from Flyweight to Super Flyweight to Bantamweight. Julio Cesar Miranda (WBO flyweight champ) in 2009, Koki Kameda (lineal Flyweight champ and the current WBA bantamweight champ) and Suriyan Rungvisai (current WBC super flyweight champ) in 2010, to Edgar Sosa (longtime WBC light flyweight champ) in 2011.

Whether he was particularly poorly trained/unmotivated for this fight or whether it's case of his age finally catching up to him, or both (more than likely), there is no question that he looked all but shot compared to his usual quick, sharp self. He literally stood there as if he didn't care whether he was going to get hit or not. His legs also looked completely done.

Once again... good for Jaro... but Pong looked off and should have been able to win..
