Greatest Unknown Classic Fights

Yes there's not much out there of Kaspari other than this Lil gem and his fight with Tim Austin. There's tiny bits of other fights but not other full fights that I know of. Brave little fighter he was.

 

Yeah, Kaspari,maybe out of all Pirih gym fighters (excluding Muhammad Rachman) was the one who's the closest to achieve a world title.

I find that one I'm very glad Ryol Li Lee (black trunks) 30 years old (former WBA Super Bantamweight champion) vs Shoji Kimura 35 years old (in blue trunks) former contender WBA Super Bantamweight & future WBA World Featherweight challenger Shoji Kimura have some decent wins in his career against former World champion Saen Sor Ploenchit, Yoddamrong Sithyodthong, Yokthai Sithoar in a 10 rounds in Featherweight :

Scored it 2 points in favor of Bungu,but it was a nonstop action packed infighting match,and Nurhuda fought well with Bungu's jab being the one edging the fight.

Exciting last round, probably the best fight of the Journeyman Heri Amol as Choi would die from injuries later from this fight.

A quite fun punchfest with some drama too,Wito in green trunks and Tobing in black trunks.

The Vuyani Bungu vs Mohammad Nurhuda fight was really fun to watch. I thought Bungu had a great strategy throughout the fight. It would have been impossible to completely avoid infighting in the first half of the fight. So, he accepted the close quarters fighting, but he also would gradually step back at times which enticed Nurhuda overextend on his shots and sometimes outright miss. This allowed him to come back and counter Nurhuda’s pressure with clean, accurate shots on the inside.

And like you said, when Bungu managed to create enough space during breaks in the infighting, he would always come back with effectively with his jab. He built off that jab, adding in the right cross, double jabbing with it, going to the body, etc. Later in the fight, he was better able to establish distance, use his footwork, and box more from the outside. Nurhuda was just too one dimensional in there. Thanks for posting it.

 

Yeah, Bungu eventually showed that to be a champion in his time,you gotta be atleast quite skilled or talented, Nurhuda only had the infighting,which unfortunately didn't sold good.

A certified war front he lower weights,baffles my mind how Pornsawan manage to come back every time despite he fact he's already looking damaged enough to be stopped in the 7th.

 

Btw,any recommendations of where to find some underrated gems like these?

 

Yaegashi vs Swan is insane. One of the best fights of this century.

 

Dunno if that's the Crazy Kim fight I've seen, but if it is, then that's a corker as well.

 

Bungu is just one of the many super bantamweights who gave us many awesome fights who've been forgotten to the annals of little guy history.

 

I definitely expected a stoppage by Akira in the 7th,but Pornsawan never stopped punching and pressuring.

 

He was a damn good fighter. Unfortunately he's mostly remembered as the guy Naz stopped the night he made the flying carpet entrance.
