The talented Thai was one of the top Minimumweights of the 1990's, albeit one who was lucky to never fight the great Ricardo Lopez. His reign as the WBA champion lasted almost 3 years and saw him defending the belt 8 times with one of those defenses being a genuinely fun to watch victory over Rafael Torres in a bout that actually saw the Thai being dropped in the opening round and looking in some trouble before eventually settling into the bout and scoring a KO of his own after some crazy trading of blows. If you've not seen this one before it really is a very fun to watch contest with round 4 in particular standing out as one of the most exciting rounds of Chana's career. |
