January 11th 2010- Tokyo Big Sight, Tokyo, Japan Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym (39-1, 28) Vs Satoshi Hosono (16-0, 12) In September 2009 Thailand's Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym claimed the WBA Super Bantamweight title as he defeated Ireland's Bernade Dunne. Around 4 months later Poonsawat went to Japan and took on unbeaten power puncher Satoshi Hosono entering the bout Hosono had been the OPBF Featherweight champion and was dropping down in weight to take on his most notable and toughest foe. If you like a rough and tough fights then this is perfect for you with both men being tough and strong men who traded back and forth action in a genuinely enthralling contest. In recent years we've seen numerous Thai's fall short on their travels as they've tried to bring home world titles. Sometimes their efforts have been great, such as that of Terdsak Kokietgym who gave Orlando Salido absolute hell, whilst others have been relatively mixed such as that of Pungluang Sor Singyu prior to his stoppage loss against Tomoki Kameda.
Thai's haven't always lost on the road in world title fights however and in 2009 Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym played the role of spoiler in Thailand when he defeated the hugely popular Bernard Dunne in Dunne's back yard. The Thai looked like a danger before the fight was made and by the end of round 1 it was clear Dunne wasn't going to have an easy night with Poonsawat who hadn't travelled to make up the numbers. Sadly for Dunne Poonsawat had come to win and that's what he did in impressive fashion as he battered the brave but out-matched Irishman. |
