Terdsak- the real Story.

[JOM'S]

In all seriousness, I hope he doesn't really retire after this.

Maybe he can stay in it and work on his skills a bit and gain a few more money fights or a title.

If not that, then can't he go to Muay Thai?

i dont think he can go Muay Thai, he is considerably old to be a Muay Thai Fighter, I think these figthers start at an early age and retire early and/or graduate to boxing ...

[JOM'S]

he got nothing bro but peanuts from JMM... this poor ***** is just making peanuts nowadays,no money at all. thats the curse of turning down a rematch from Pac.

too bad to hear that ...

but for realy how much did the they get for these fight?

If JMM got 30k for a championship fight. I think he got less than his fight since it was just interim.

Maybe Terdsak got $10k-$15k only.

:-/ Well, there must be something he can do if he really wants to quit boxing.

I don't think he should head back to water treating.

I'm sure he could KO some of the falling stars of the division or at least decision them.

And the Terdsak odyssey continues as the plot thickens...

I can hardly wait for Homer, in the guise of Njord777, to give us fresh details.

I might be favoring Terdsak in this fight to be honest. My gut tells me that Terdsak's physicality will give the boxer Luevano alot of issues, particularly if he gets on the inside where Luevano doesn't want to be.

I dug this up from the same source- for those interested in Terdsak's continued story:

For Terdsak Jandaeng fighting in America has been a mixed blessing. Coming from humble roots in Thailand where he worked in a zoo, Terdsak slowly rose through the sport of boxing- until he found himself fighting in the United States. Unknown to many boxing fans, his foray into fighting in this country came not against Juan Manuel Marquez- but against Joan Guzman in 2005. The man that had worked his way up from hauling Lion feces from the zoo he worked at, five miles every day on foot to the local fertilizer factory, found failure in New York as Guzman took a decision and sent him back to Thailand to start from scratch.

"When I get hit in ring I smell the strong scent of lion defecation. It reminds me of where I came from. It reminds me of the hardships I faced- and the pain tells me who I am now - not the fertilizer boy at the zoo - I'm a fighter. A warrior." Jandaeng says with pride. Recounting what happened next also causes him to swell with confidence.

After the Guzman lost Terdsak was faced with a dilemma; where to go next. Was his career over? He had never felt the sting of defeat before - so he rededicated himself to the sport. Jandaeng hauled fifty pound bags of the same fertilizer he used to haul up and down mountain ridges. One false move and Terdsak would plummet to his death in the forest-covered ravines below.

Redemption came in the form of a 9th round KO of Jaime Barcelona for the vacant WBO Asia Pacific featherweight title in his next fight. "I was hit hard in the ninth round- I smelled the lion feces and it made me roar like the big cats do when they make the fertilizer- and I hit him so hard he went to sleep."

With that win Terdsak was back on top. On top of the world; and his confidence returned. He'd test himself by fighting in Arizona- and win. Four more victories in his native Thailand and he was in control of his focus. Jandaeng became the ****kok Zoo's spokesman - and became sponsored by Paendang Fertilizer; the brand he once carried miles to support his family.

Then disaster - the Juan Manuel Marquez fight. A fight in which Terdsak found not only his second loss but was knocked out in the 7th. "Marquez was cut. He was bleeding like a lion giving birth. I thought I had him. Then he hit me. I smelled the fertilizer but when I blinked the fight was over. I was not strong enough to take the hit."

When Terdsak recalls his loss the pride he displays earlier disappears. Shame, anger, and confusion mix as he recounts his return to Thailand. The zoo removed his image from their billboards. Paendang Fertilizer told him his services were no longer needed. In shame he went training one night and fell down the treacherous mountain path- plummeting into the ravine below.

The large bag of fertilizer he carried broke his fall- and with the wind knocked out of him and leg injured Jandaeng would lie in a pile of the substance that had helped him begin his career, smelled the scent, and said he made a realization. "It smelled like it did when I got hit. I was done, hurt, stuck in that ravine...and I realized it wasn't done for me. I had to try one more time.."

And he did. Terdsak Jandaeng fought in Chumphon, Thailand a mere month after the Marquez fight- the result being a first round KO in his favor. "The strength of the Lion had returned to me..."

Of the five fights he has had since the loss to Marquez, Terdsak has won four of them - 80%- by KO. "I smell the Lion fertilizer all the time now. I have a fire in me. I smell it all the time and my fists burn with it. I will not be stopped."

This weekend Terdsak will take on Steven Luevano - and he has a bold prediction. "You will see the lion in me; a new Terdsak is brewing." It's almost possible to smell the fertilizer on him; the stuff that has made the man who he is. "A warrior." He repeats with a prideful nod.
