When we first started this site there was a bunch of videos we thought we'd never come across. One of those, that we figured would be the "holy grail" of modern day Korean boxing was the debut of Min Wook Kim. The Korean "Sniper" debuted back in May 2010 and fought the much more experienced Taek Min Kim, a former Korean Super Featherweight champion. The bout was one of 9 fights on a show in Asan, South Korea and whilst the main event got a bit of attention and saw Randy Suico battling Kyung-Suk Kwak for the OPBF Light Welterweight title, we never expected to come across the Kim Vs Kim fight. Thankfully however we have done. The bout, which was scheduled for 8 rounds, saw Min's team having real faith in him by putting him in such a tough contest to start. Within moment of the fight starting however you could tell this was no ordinary debutant. Whilst he wasn't Naoya Inoue good on debut he still looked like a special talent. We won't ruin the fight for those who haven't seen it but we will say that everyone with an interest in either man should give it a watch as it is really interesting even if it's not the most exciting bout either man has been in.

At this present moment in time there aren't many Korean fighters that really can have an impact on the international boxing stage. One of the few that has proven that he can is exciting Light Welterweight Min Wook Kim who has shown his class and ability against several Japanese fighters. The most notable of the fighters that Kim has proven himself against is Shinya Iwabuchi and that was done back in April 2013 when Kim, the then OPBF Light Welterweight champion, travelled to Japan and was involved in a thrilling encounter with Iwabuchi. The fight, shown in full below, shows not just what Kim is capable of but also Iwabuchi as the two traded shots through out a compelling contest that shows how much the OPBF title means to both men. It may not be the most violent, or the most exciting but it's still brilliant and full of action from the first round to the final bell when the men are still throwing bombs at each other. Following this fight Kim would defend the belt just once more before it was taken off him. At the time of writing we're looking forward to seeing Iwabuchi fight against current champion Keita Obara for the title and we're expecting a contest just brilliant as this one was.
