Six Degrees of Separation... Ji Won Kim to Jung Koo Chang

1/12/2021

0 Comments

 
We've all heard of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, and we've decided to put our spin on things with "Six degrees of separation" looking to connect Asian fighters you may never have assumed were connected! Today we connect former world champion Ji won Kim to the legendary Jung Koo Chang.

Just as ground rules, we're not doing the more basic "A beat B who beat C who beat D" type of thing, but instead we want to link fighters in different ways. As a result we will limit A fought B connections, and try to get more varied connections together, as you'll see here! We also know there are often shorter routes to connect fighters, but that's not always the most interesting way to connect them.
 
1-Although best known for retiring as an unbeaten world champion Ji Won Kim did hold 2 lesser titles before winning the IBF Super Bantamweight title later in his career. One of those belts was the South Korean Super Bantamweight title and the other was the OPBF Super Bantamweight title. Another man to have held that OPBF title is Filipino fighter Willie Lucas, who seemingly won the belt in just his 4th professional bout.
 
2-Filipino fighter Willie Lucas was fast tracked early in his career, reportedly beginning his career in 10 rounders. The reason he was moved so quickly was his amateur success, which had included winning a Bronze medal at the 1974 Asian Games. Another fighter who won a Bronze medal at those same Asian Games was Japan's Noboru Uchiyama.
 
3-Although he never turned professional, due to suffering injuries when he was an amateur, Noboru Uchiyama was a very talented amateur. He went to the Olympics, won the Asian Games Bronze medal and claimed a Silver medal at the 1975 Asian Championships. Another man who claimed a Silver medal at the 1975 Asian Championships was Thailand's Payao Poontarat, who did turn professional after his amateur success.
 
4-After turning professional Payao Poontarat had a short but notable professional career. He fought just 14 times in the paid ranks, but was fast tracked from his 1981 debut, fighting for an OPBF title in his third professional bout and winning the WBC Super Flyweight title in his 9th bout. Sadly for Poontarat his reign was a short one, and came to an end in a very controversial bout against Jiro Watanabe in 1984, in the first of two bouts between the two men.
 
5-Prior to his bouts with Poontarat Japan's Jiro Watanabe had won the All Japan Rookie of the Year, back in February 1980. He notably beat future world champion Koji Kobayashi in his Rookie final. Despite being the most famous of that year's winners Watanabe wasn't the only man to win the Rookie of the Year that year before winning a world title, another fighter who did just that was Katsuo Tokashiki.
 
6-The talented Katsuo Tokashiki won the WBA Light Flyweight title in his 16th bout, at the age of 21. Sadly his reign was a relatively short one, lasting less than 2 years before he lost the belt to nemesis Lupe Madera, in their third bout. In his final professional contest Tokashiki challenged the then WBC champion Jung Koo Chang, in what is a truly brilliant bout. Sadly Tokashiki suffer his sole stoppage loss at the hands of the Korean Hawk, before retiring at the age of 24. It also helped solidify Chang as an elite level Light Flyweight, with the bout serving as his 4th defense of the WBC title.

Six Degrees of Separation... Z Gorres to Ji Won Kim

1/5/2021

We've all heard of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, and we've decided to put our spin on things with "Six degrees of separation" looking to connect Asian fighters you may never have assumed were connected! Today we connect former world title challenger Z Gorres to former world champion Ji won Kim.

Just as ground rules, we're not doing the more basic "A beat B who beat C who beat D" type of thing, but instead we want to link fighters in different ways. As a result we will limit A fought B connections, and try to get more varied connections together, as you'll see here! We also know there are often shorter routes to connect fighters, but that's not always the most interesting way to connect them.
 
1-The extremely talented and popular Z Gorres was tipped for big things when he turned professional. "The Dream" was highly skilled, had a good boxing brain and unlike some other ALA Gym prospects he was a boxer first, rather than a puncher like  AJ Banal and Rey Bautista. Gorres made his professional debut all the way back on March 31st 2001, in Cebu City. That very same day a Mexican fighter by the name of Daniel Ponce De Leon made his debut in Chihuahua, Mexico.
 
2-During his career Daniel Ponce De Leon managed to have remarkable success despite being technically rather limited. Despite not being a smooth, polished boxer he had a trait that could bail him out at a moment's notice. That was his frightening power. Ponce De Leon showed that power in impressive fashion in his second bout against Sod Kokietgym, when he scored a terrifying KO of the Thai fighter.
 
3-Sadly for Thailand's Sod Kokietgym it wasn't just Ponce De Leon that stopped him but also frustrating Cuban genius Guillermo Rigondeaux, who gave Sod his third and final loss in Macao in 2014. That would end up being Sod's third and final shot at a world title, and he would only fight once more after this loss, a decision win in Thailand, before retiring.
 
4-As we all know Guillermo Rigondeaux was a brilliant amateur boxer before turning professional. The talented Cuban's style was exceptional in the amateur ranks where he went on to claim numerous titles and medals. They included gold medals at two Olympics, joining a very small number of fighters to have achieved that feat. One of those golds came at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Another man who won a gold medal at those same games was tragic Kazakh Bekzat Sattarkhanov.
 
5-On his route to winning gold at the Sydney games Bekzat Sattarkhanov defeated a number of notable names. They included American Rocky Juarez, in the final and South African Jeffrey Mathebula, in the round of 16.
 
6-Despite failing to win a medal at the 2000 Olympics Jeffrey Mathebula did have success in the professional ranks, using his long and gangly frame to great effect. As a professional the highlight of his career was winning the IBF Super Bantamweight title, which he won in 2012. Another former IBF Super Bantamweight champion was Korean fighter Ji Won Kim, who was the third fighter to hold that belt back in the 1980's.

Six Degrees of Separation... Sirimongkol Singwancha to Z Gorres

12/29/2020

0 Comments

 
We've all heard of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, and we've decided to put our spin on things with "Six degrees of separation" looking to connect Asian fighters you may never have assumed were connected! Today we connect Thailand's Sirimongkol Singwancha, a former 2-weight world champion, to former world title challenger Z Gorres.

Just as ground rules, we're not doing the more basic "A beat B who beat C who beat D" type of thing, but instead we want to link fighters in different ways. As a result we will limit A fought B connections, and try to get more varied connections together, as you'll see here! We also know there are often shorter routes to connect fighters, but that's not always the most interesting way to connect them.
 
1-Thailand's Sirimongkol Singwancha, also known as Sirimongkhon Iamthuam among other names, has had a bizarre career in professional boxing. His long and lengthy career saw him fight more than 100 bouts and move through the weights, going from Flyweight up Light Heavyweight. During his best years he was a 2-weight world champion claiming the WBC Bantamweight and Super Featherweight world titles. To win the Super Featherweight title win Sirimongkol over-came Kengo Nagashima, in 2002 for the vacant title.
 
2-Sadly now a days few people really mention Kengo Nagashima, despite the fact he has a pretty interesting and notable career of his own. Between 1995 and 2010 he racked up a 39-4-2 (18) record and won OPBF and JBC titles at both Super Featherweight and Lightweight. Interestingly Nagashima's debut came on a show headlined by the then OPBF Super Bantamweight champion Yuichi Kasai.
 
3-In the ring Yuichi Kasai was a successful fighter, despite failing to win a world title in his career, though he did have 3 world title shots. After retiring from the ring he made a name for himself as one of the best trainers in Japan and helped cultivate a number of champions at the Teiken Gym. One of those world champions was Toshiaki Nishioka, who went on to win the WBC Super Bantamweight title.
 
4-In his final professional bout Toshiaki Nishioka faced off with Filipino fighter Nonito Donaire in 2012. Whilst the bout was an interesting one on paper it turned out to be a lot less interesting in the ring, with Nishioka looking a million miles removed from the fighter that had beaten Jhonny Gonzalez more than 3 years earlier. It ended when Donaire finished off Nishioka in round 9, and the Japanese fighter retired with a very nice final career purse whilst Donaire continued to build his legacy.
 
5-As we suspect many will be aware, Nonito Donaire isn't the only boxer in the family. Another boxer from the Donaire family isNonit's bother Glenn Donaire, who was also a professional, though a much less successful one. Whilst Nonito has been a global boxing star his older brother twice fought for world titles but came up short in both of those bouts, before ending his career in 2012.
 
6-It's fair to say that Glenn Donaire's career was an up and down one. He did get two world title fights, and did pick up some good wins, but also suffered a number of losses. Interestingly his only stoppage loss came to fellow Filipino Z Gorres, who stopped him in a round in 2005 at the MGM Grand!

Six Degrees of Separation... Rodel Mayol to Sirimongkol Singwancha

12/22/2020

0 Comments

 
We've all heard of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, and we've decided to put our spin on things with "Six degrees of separation" looking to connect Asian fighters you may never have assumed were connected! Today we connect former world champion Rodel Mayol and to multi-weight champion Sirimongkol Singwancha.

Just as ground rules, we're not doing the more basic "A beat B who beat C who beat D" type of thing, but instead we want to link fighters in different ways. As a result we will limit A fought B connections, and try to get more varied connections together, as you'll see here! We also know there are often shorter routes to connect fighters, but that's not always the most interesting way to connect them.
 
1-Former WBC Light Flyweight champion Rodel Mayol made his debut on July 1st 2000, when he took on Joseph Villasis. Also debuting on this very same card was Dindo Castanares.
 
2-At one point Dindo Castanares looked like he was going places, but his career stumbled and fell apart in later years, with his final bout coming on on November 17th 2006, when he was stopped in 2 rounds by Allan Luxford. On that very same day the then WBC Flyweight champion Pongsaklek Wonjongkam retained his title, defeating Monelisi Myekeni in what was Wonjongkam's 16th defense of the title.
 
3-It's fair to say that Pongsaklek Wonjongkam was a busy fighter and fought a number of opponents multiple times. The most well known of those was Daisuke Naito, who he fought 4 times, but there were others, such as Jerry Pahayahay, who he fought 3 times. Another man Wonjongkam fought multiple times was Bernardo Jun Dabalos, including Wonjongkam's 1994 debut!
 
4-It's fair to describe Bernardo Jun Dabalos as a journeyman, a regional level journeyman. He travelled for many of his fights whilst running up a rather poor 16-19-2 (9) record between 1992 and 1998. His first bout in Japan came in 1995 when he lost to Satoru Abe on a card headlined by Yasuei Yakushiji defending the WBC Bantamweight title against Cuauhtemoc Gomez.
 
5-In 1994 Yasuei Yakushiji took part in his most famous bout, a clash with with the then WBC "interim" Bantamweight champion Joichiro Tatsuyoshi. The bout was massive news for boxing in Japan and really grabbed the attention of the nation as two of it's most notable stars battled in a thriller.
 
6-Despite losing to Yakushiji in their massive 1994 clash the charismatic Joichiro Tatsuyoshi would remain a relevant figure in the sport. He moved up to Super Bantamweight, losing twice to the then WBC champion Daniel Zaragoza, before dropping back to Bantamweight and claiming the WBC title with a huge upset win against Sirimongkol Singwancha to become a 2-time champion.

Six Degrees of Separation... Nobuto Ikehara to Rodel Mayol

12/15/2020

0 Comments

 
We've all heard of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, and we've decided to put our spin on things with "Six degrees of separation" looking to connect Asian fighters you may never have assumed were connected! Today we connect former Japanese world title challenger Nobuto Ikehara to one time Filipino world champion Rodel Mayol.

Just as ground rules, we're not doing the more basic "A beat B who beat C who beat D" type of thing, but instead we want to link fighters in different ways. As a result we will limit A fought B connections, and try to get more varied connections together, as you'll see here! We also know there are often shorter routes to connect fighters, but that's not always the most interesting way to connect them.
 
1-Although not the most well known name in Asian boxing Nobuto Ikehara had a pretty notable career, going 29-4 (19) in a career that ran from 1998 to 2009. He faced a number of notable opponents, including Volodymyr Sydorenko, Manabu Fukushima, Medgoen Singsurat and Thailand's Pone Saengmorakot.
 
2-The talented Pone Saengmorakot is best known for being on the receiving end of one of the iconic KO's from Korea, where he was taken clean out by In Joo Cho in a WBC Super Flyweight title fight. Another fighter to have lost by KO 8 in a WBC Super Flyweight title bout in Korea is the once very touted Koki Ishii, who was stopped by Chul Ho Kim.
 
3-When we said that Koki Ishii was highly touted we weren't joking. He is one of the very few Japanese fighters to debut in an 8 rounder, something that we really don't see done very often at all. Another fighter to debut in an 8 rounder, much more recently, was modern day Japanese super star Naoya Inoue.
 
4-Prior to turning professional Naoya Inoue had made his name in the amateurs, winning a number of national titles and competing in international competitions. One of the many people he beat in the amateurs was Ryomei Tanaka, who Inoue defeated in 2011 at a Interscholastic Tournament in Japan.
 
5-The talented Ryomei Tanaka isn't the only talented boxer in the family. Another is his brother Kosei Tanaka, who has become a star in the professional ranks and has been quickly fast tracked to the top, winning world titles in multiple weight classes, and doing so at break neck speed.
 
6-Prior to winning his first world title Kosei Tanaka won the OPBF Minimumweight belt, doing so in just his 4th professional bout. Another former OPBF Minimumweight champion is Rodel Mayol, who won the belt before he won the WBC Light Flyweight title in 2009.

Six Degrees of Separation... Israil Madrimov to Nobuto Ikehara

12/8/2020

We've all heard of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, and we've decided to put our spin on things with "Six degrees of separation" looking to connect Asian fighters you may never have assumed were connected! Today we connect talented Uzbek Israil Madrimov to former Japanese world title challenger Nobuto Ikehara.

Just as ground rules, we're not doing the more basic "A beat B who beat C who beat D" type of thing, but instead we want to link fighters in different ways. As a result we will limit A fought B connections, and try to get more varied connections together, as you'll see here! We also know there are often shorter routes to connect fighters, but that's not always the most interesting way to connect them.
 
1-Uzbek fighter Israil Madrimov is making a name for himself in the professional ranks as we write this. Prior to his days as a professional he was a stand out amateur, winning medals in numerous international tournaments. One of those medals that Madrimov won was a Silver medal at the 2014 Asian games in Incheon, South Korea. The games were plagued by controversy in boxing, but Madrimov still impressed before losing in the final to Daniyar Yeleussinov. Another man to win a Silver medal at the same games was Kazakh Light Flyweight  Birzhan Zhakypov.
 
2-Prior to winning a Silver medal in the 2014 Asian Games Birzhan Zhakypov had been a well regarded amateur fighter for years. Way back in 2005 he had taken a Bronze medal at the World Championships in Mianyang, China. Another fighter who took Bronze at that very same championship was American Rau'shee Warren. In fact Warren won his Bronze medal in the weight class above Zhakypov.
 
3-Of course Rau'shee Warren would go on to have professional success, but before then he actually competed at 3 Olympics. In the 2004 Olympic Qualifying event he took on Argentinian fighter Nestor Daniel Narvaes. In fact Warren actually stopped Narvaes in 3 rounds, in the quarter finals, before going all the way and winning the qualifying event just 3 days later.
 
4-Although the names are spelled slightly different Nestor Daniel Narvaes has a more well known brother. That's the incredibly successful, and often massively over-looked Omar Andres Narvaez.
 
5-Whilst the success of Omar Andres Narvaez is really impressive, winning world titles at Flyweight and Super Flyweight and defending both more than 10 times, he was actually notable amateur. In the unpaid ranks he won a Bronze and a Silver in World championships, was a South American champion and a Pan Am games champion. He was also a 2-time Olympian. Sadly though he ran into Volodymyr Sydorenko in he 2000 Olympics and lost to the Ukrainian, who had also beaten Daniel Ponce De Leon in the competition.
 
6-After his amateur success Volodymyr Sydorenko turned professional and had real success of his own, winning the WBA Bantamweight title in 2005 and making 6 defenses before losing it to Anselmo Moreno in 2008. One of those 6 defenses for Sydorenko came in 2008 when he defeated Nobuto Ikehara via a clear 12 round decision win!

Six Degrees of Separation... Daiki Kaneko to Israil Madrimov

12/1/2020

We've all heard of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, and we've decided to put our spin on things with "Six degrees of separation" looking to connect Asian fighters you may never have assumed were connected! Today we connect former world title challenger Daiki Kaneko to Uzbek sensation Israil Madrimov.

Just as ground rules, we're not doing the more basic "A beat B who beat C who beat D" type of thing, but instead we want to link fighters in different ways. As a result we will limit A fought B connections, and try to get more varied connections together, as you'll see here! We also know there are often shorter routes to connect fighters, but that's not always the most interesting way to connect them.
 
1-Japan's Daiki Kaneko never managed to win a world title, though did at one point look a good bet to go all the way. Sadly his only world title fight was a loss to Takashi Uchiyama in one of the TV Tokyo end of year shows. The only title he did win was the Japanese Super Featherweight title which he defended 4 times, just like Takashi Miura.
 
2-Known as "Bomber Left" Takashi Miura was a hard hitting southpaw who was known for his toughness and his power, two things that made him a must watch attraction. His career saw him win the Japanese title and the WBC title, and become a bit of a cult favourite among international fans. Interestingly he debuted on a card that saw Noel Arambulet score a huge win over Yutaka Niida.
 
3-Venezuelan fighter Noel Arambulet was a pretty well travelled fighter in his prime, fighting around the globe. Although a good majority of his fights were at home he get passport stamps for Panama, Haiti, France, Colombia and Japan, which hosted 6 of his bouts. The final of those Japanese bouts saw him suffer his first stoppage loss, losing to Koki Kameda.
 
4-The controversial Koki Kameda, the oldest of the 3 Kameda fighter brothers, debuted back on December 21st 2003. On the same show were Takayuki Hosokawa, multi-time WBC world champion Nobuo Nashiro and multi-time world champion Katsunari Takayama.
 
5-During his very successful career Katsunari Takayama won numerous world titles, including the WBO Minmumweight title, twice. Interestingly his two reigns with that title sandwich a reign of fellow Japanese fighter Kosei Tanaka.
 
6-During a long and success amateur career Kosei Tanaka not only had success on the domestic scene but also competed on the international level. Among the competitions he won a medal at was the 2013 Asian Youth Championships in the Philippines, where he took home a Silver medal. Another man taking home silver from that competition was Uzbek fighter Israil Madrimov.

Six Degrees of Separation... Manny Pacquiao to Daiki Kaneko

11/24/2020

We've all heard of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, and we've decided to put our spin on things with "Six degrees of separation" looking to connect Asian fighters you may never have assumed were connected! Today we connect Filipino legend Manny Pacquiao to former Japanese world title challenger Daiki Kaneko.

Just as ground rules, we're not doing the more basic "A beat B who beat C who beat D" type of thing, but instead we want to link fighters in different ways. As a result we will limit A fought B connections, and try to get more varied connections together, as you'll see here! We also know there are often shorter routes to connect fighters, but that's not always the most interesting way to connect them.
 
1- It's fair to say that Manny Pacquiao is a true living legend. What he's done in the sport is unlikely to be matched any time soon and his rise through the ranks is sensational. Born on December 17th 1978 the Filipino has become one of the all time greats. Incidentally on the same day that Pacquiao was born Korean great Jae-Doo Yuh fought his final. As weird as that sounds Pacquiao was born on the day that Yuh retained the OPBF Middleweight title with a win over Hung-Won Kang.
 
2- Whilst we don't think many will have known that Jae-Doo Yuh had his final bout on Manny Pacquiao's birthday we do suspect that everyone know's that Yuh had a legendary 2 fight series with Japanese star Koichi Wajima. In the first bout Yuh stopped Wajima in 7 rounds, to become the WBA Light Middleweight, whilst their rematch saw Wajima avenge that loss to reclaim the title.
 
3-Amazingly Koichi Wajima is the only 3-time WBA Light Middleweight champion. He's also a 2-time WBC Light Middleweight champion, a feat he's not alone in having with mover than 5 men to hold that title two, or more, times. Another is the under-rated, and far too often forgotten, Vernon Forrest.
 
4-Despite often being under-rated Vernon Forrest was a real skilled guy with so much talent and his ability to compete at an incredibly high level in to his mid-to-late 30's was a testament to his ring craft, brilliant jab and fine boxing skills. Away from the ring he was a classy and brilliant guy who's charitable work was amazing and the work Destiny's Child Inc does is incredible. On the same show as Forrest's final fight was the US debut of Indonesian fighter Daud Yordan.
 
5-Although the hope was that Daud Yordan would carry the Indonesian flag after Chris John eventually hung up the gloves "Chino" never really managed to reach the heady heights hoped of him. Despite that he has had a notable career, fighting in several world title fights and competing in and around the world level for much of his career. He may have failed at the top but was certainly a key figure in a down period for Indonesian boxing. One of his most notable wins was his brilliant 2018 win over Pavel Malikov.
 
6-Although Russian fighter Pavel Malikov was stopped by Daud Yordan that was not the only fight he had against a notable Asian fighter. Others included Leonardo Doronio, Carlo Magali, Adones Aguelo and, in 2017, Daiki Kaneko, in what was a brilliant 2017 clash. Sadly whilst that was a tremendous bout it was also the final bout of Kaneko's career.

Six degrees of separation... Momo Koseki to Manny Pacquiao

We've all heard of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, and we've decided to put our spin on things with "Six degrees of separation" looking to connect Asian fighters you may never have assumed were connected! Today we connect former 2-weight female world champion Momo Koseki to Manny Pacquiao.

Just as ground rules, we're not doing the more basic "A beat B who beat C who beat D" type of thing, but instead we want to link fighters in different ways. As a result we will limit A fought B connections, and try to get more varied connections together, as you'll see here! We also know there are often shorter routes to connect fighters, but that's not always the most interesting way to connect them.
 
1-Japanese fighter Momo Koseki might not be a massive name in the world of sport, but few can argue with her success in the sport. She is a 2-weight world champion, a former unified world champion and a fighter with 17 success defenses of the WBC Atomweight title under her belt. She was the MVP of the Atomweight division for around a decade.As a professional she fought of the Aoki Gym and was a stablemate of Sho Kimura.
 
2-The teak tough and regularly entertaining Sho Kimura is best known for his short, but very fun, reign as the WBO Flyweight champion. He won the belt in a big upset win in China and would defend the belt twice before losing it to fellow Japanese fighter Kosei Tanaka. Prior to winning a world title he won the WBO Asia Pacific Flyweight title, beating Masahiro Sakamoto for that title. A prior hold of that title was Tepparith Singwancha.
 
3-After winning the WBO Asia Pacific title in 2010 Tepparith Singwancha went on to win the WBA Super Flyweight title. Whilst the way he won the title was a mess his reign was a solid one, defending the belt 3 times, all against world class opponents. Another Thai who won the WBA Super Flyweight title was the legendary Khaosai Galaxy, who held the title for more than 7 years and ran up a record of 19 defenses.
 
4-Whilst Khaosai Galaxy is regarded as the most successful of the Galaxy brothers his twin Khaokor Galaxy also had very notable success, and was a 2-time WBA Bantamweight champion in the 1980's.
 
5-As mentioned Khaokor Galaxy was a 2-time WBA Bantamweight champion, though surprisingly he failed to record a single successful defense from his two reigns. Interestingly he made his debut on October 9th 1985. That was the same day that Ji Won Kim made his 3rd defense of the IBF Super Bantamweight title, stopping former former champion Sung In Suh in 66 seconds.
 
6-Amazingly Ji Won Kim is one of only two men to ever defend the IBF Super Bantamweight title with an opening round win. The other is Manny Pacquiao, who achieved the feat on October 26th 2002, when he blasted out Fahprakorb Rakkiatgym in 166 seconds!

Six degrees of separation... Takashi Uchiyama to Momo Koseki

11/10/2020

0 Comments

 
We've all heard of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, and we've decided to put our spin on things with "Six degrees of separation" looking to connect Asian fighters you may never have assumed were connected! Today we connect former long term Japanese world champions Takashi Uchiyama and Momo Koseki.

Just as ground rules, we're not doing the more basic "A beat B who beat C who beat D" type of thing, but instead we want to link fighters in different ways. As a result we will limit A fought B connections, and try to get more varied connections together, as you'll see here! We also know there are often shorter routes to connect fighters, but that's not always the most interesting way to connect them.
 
1-Japanese Super Featherweight Takashi Uchiyama is best known for his lengthy run as the WBA Super Featherweight champion, which saw him holding the title for more than 6 years. Before winning the WBA belt he won the OPBF Super Featherweight, which he defended 5 times before vacating it. His title win came against Nedal Hussein in 2007, with Uchiyama stopping Hussein in round 8.
 
2-With almost 50 bouts to his name Nedal Hussein was fighter who was very busy during his 10 year career. His career ran from 1997 to 2007 and saw him face a bit of a who's and fight for various titles, winning the Commonwealth Super Bantamweight title, fighting twice for world titles and twice for OPBF titles. His opponents not only included Uchiyama but also Hiroyuki Enoki, Scott Harrison, Oscar Larios and Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao, who took a TKO win over Hussein in 2000.
 
3-During his legendary career Manny Pacquiao has been one of the faces of the sport and has won a huge collection of titles. These have included regional, international and world titles as he become one of the most legendary fighters in the sport's history. One of his many world titles was the IBF Super Bantamweight title, which he won in his US debut against Lehlo Ledwaba. That win put him on the boxing map in the west, and was also his second world title. Another man who later won that very same title was Panama's Celestino Caballero, who won the belt in 2008 whilst unifying it with the WBA title that he had previously held.
 
4-The freakishly long and rangy Celestino Caballero was a nightmare to go up against, standing at almost 6' and fighting at Super Bantamweight and Featherweight during his career. He was a true road warrior, fighting in Panama, USA, Venezuela, Colombia, Thailand, Canada, Mexico Argentina and Japan. Not only was he well travelled but he also proved to be a thorn in the side of Asian fighters, notching wins over Satoshi Hosono, Daud Yordan and Somsak Sithchatchawal.
 
5-Somsak Sithchatchawal is best known for his legendary bout with Mahyar Monshipour, which saw him claim the WBA Super Bantamweight title. Sadly he lost that belt to Caballero in 2006 and began a slow decline that saw him ending his career with a 60-4-3 (43) record. His final bout came on January 6th 2010 when he lost to to Fernando Otic in Koh Tao. On the same card fans also saw female fighter Krikanok Islandmuaythai, in what was reportedly her professional debut.
 
6-Whilst not a particularly successful fighter Krikanok Islandmuaythai did fight a relative who's who of the female scene during her short, but surprisingly notable, career. She fought a number of world title challenger and several world champions. She also had a world title fight of her own, in what was her 6th bout. That ended in a loss to the dominant Momo Koseki, who recorded her 6th defenses of the WBC Aromweight title thanks to a 5th round TKO of the Thai.

    Thinking Out East

    With this site being pretty successful so far we've decided to open up about our own views and start what could be considered effectively an editorial style opinion column dubbed "Thinking Out East" (T.O.E).

    T.O.E is just a collection of our thoughts, rambles and general things related to boxing in the East.
