This coming weekend sees China's IK Yang, AKA Yang Lian Hui, returning for his third successive bout in Macau under the Top Rank banner. What many won't know about about the Chinese fighter is that he actually made his Macau debut before Top Rank started holding regular shows in the Chinese Special Administrative Region and, on his Macau debut, he showed the potential that has helped make him one of the few Chinese fighters who has received international praise.
On his Macau debut Yang fought Indonesian fight Elly Ray. Ray was making the first defence of the WBO China Zone Lightweight title though hardly looked like a champion as Yang clowned him, out boxed him and thoroughly dominated him in a performance that was nothing short of excellent. At the time of this bout Yang had fought in 9 previous contests, with 8 of those taking place in South Korea where he had made his name and won a national title, beating Wong Jon Jon for that belt. This bout however was different to those and gave him a chance to impress American fans, which is exactly what he did.
