According to Asian Boxing the IBF Flyweight title fight has been arranged for 14th of September. Seems the Thai's put that together considering the purse bid was what, 2 week ago?

I think Amnat would win where ever the bout was held but in Thailand it's a forgone conclusion. You don't win as a visitor to Thailand.

Wow, September is shaping up to be the most significant month for the Flyweight division. We have 3 champions defending in very competitive fights, can't wait. I see Amnat out boxing Arroyo and getting the decision, however McWilliams has a chance to land something significant and pull off an upset. Fighting Thailander in his home court is a gutsy move and unless he gets the KO, there is little to no chance of winning by decision. Wish he went after Reveco, however I'm aware his steamrolling of Saludar led him to Amnat. I still think Reveco would have been an easier and more stylistically appealing fight but I'm not complaining with this great match up. I have Amnat winning a comfortable UD but McWilliams will have his moments.

Reveco has recently been mandated by the WBA to fight Yodmongkol Vor Saengthep funnily enough.

Thanks for the update, wasn't aware of this. It seems like Thailand want to capture all the belts at 112, I just hope they don't hold the belts hostage like their fighters tend to do. If Reveco fights away from home he will lose his belt. Felix Alvarado put a beating on him and the damn ref not only deducted points unfairly but saved Reveco from a possible stoppage… i mean wtf? I want Felix to get another crack at a championship or put him in there with a top 10 Flyweight. The kid is a machine and should be the champion right now. Koki Eto vs Felix Alvarado or Casimero's "debut" at 112 against Felix would be a barnburner.

I swear a lot of folks are missing out on one of the most exciting and competitive if not THE most exciting and competitive weightclass out.

How anyone can ignore the division which features Koki Eto I will never know. It's a fact that Koki Eto fights=awesome

Thailand a hard place to win in. Judging is do off sometimes and some of te fights are outdoors, so you gotta deal with the humidity. Don't know if this fight is, but it's going to be a hard one

Even the fights indoors aren't fought in nice conditions. Lots of unique things for fights in Thailand

War Arroyo! Get revenge for my boy Kazuto Ioka!

Koki Eto is full blown guts and nuts bro. He got smacked around in his last 2 fights but boy did he spit on the face of adversity and shot back up until he was stopped or stopped his foe. Truly one of the most entertaining fighters out there.

Thailand is about to have 2 champions at 112. I like their outdoor set up. So gritty yet lively it's fitting for a SouthEast Asian boxing events.
