Chris John Decisions Chonlatam Piriyapino, Yordan Wins

•Nov 9, 2012

His ninth year (counting from the split decision win over Oscar Leon for the interim title in September 2003) as the WBA featherweight champion, Indonesian icon Chris John (48-0-2, 22 KOs) still looks to be a man on a mission. Making the 17th defense of his title (and the sixth as the "super champion"), the 33-year old Dragon repelled a very determined challenge of previously undefeated Thai Chonlartarn Piriapinyo (now 44-1, 27 KOs), winning a wide unanimous decision over twelve rounds.

WBA super featherweight champion Chris John of Indonesia will face yet another true test in his boxing career when he takes on Thai Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo in the “Battle of the Undefeated” at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, on Friday. Piriyapinyo’s potential onslaught is exemplified by his formidable record, in which he remains undefeated in 44 fights, with 27 wins coming by way of KO. His achievement has earned him the nickname of Crimson Tide. Age could possibly be an advantage for the Thai, who is the current WBC Asian champion, reveling at the age of 27, while Chris is 33-years-old.
