Pongsaklek Wonjongkam Vs Suriyan Sor Rungvisai

Thai fighters change their names relatively often over the course of a successful career, one man who is only ever really know buy one name is Pongsaklek Wonjongkam. Despite fighting under a number of other names fans world wide will remember Wongjonkam as Wonjongkam, not as Pongsaklek CP Freshmart, as he fought under at one point in his career, or Pongsaklek Sitkanongsak which he used at one point.

One fighter who fans may remember for two names however is Suriyan who fought much of his early career as Suriyan Por Chokchai before later becoming Suriyan Sor Rungvisai.

One of the most notable bouts Suriyan fought as "Por Chokchai" was his WBC Flyweight title fight with Wonjongkam. For many it was the first notable fight that Suriyan took part in and it was also a bout that made it clear that Suriyan had real potential to be a world champion, something he managed to do just 10 months after this fight when he moved to Super Flyweight and claimed the WBC title there.

For those interested in numbers this bout it was Wonjongkam's 81st whilst Suriyan was fighting for just the 19th time. It was Suryan's first world title fight whilst Wonjongkam was making the first defense of his second reign following a long and memorable first reign as champion.

If you've not seen this we suggest you give it a go and realise that Suriyan's talent was obvious from a relatively young age, he was just 21 at the time of this fight!
