    Former IBF Flyweight World Champion the thai Amnat Ruenroeng (23-7, 8 KOs), aged 45, was heavily drunk and started a fight yesterday in Bangkok. He insulted a young Thai man in front of a 7-Eleven (convenience store), and when Amnat grabbed the young man by the neck, the latter punched him in self-defense. Afterward, the young man allowed Amnat to get up and walk away, but Amnat came back to attack again, so the young man responded much more forcefully this time, kicking him in the head and punch him several times.

    Sad to see really but he should know better at that age not to be putting it on the youngsters , it's not like the kid instigated it from the looks of that short video .

    Age and being shitfaced will definitely compromise your ability to fight no matter what skills you once had.

    The top comment of the video oh my gosh :
    "All the champions lost their belts on the ring, but Amnat lost his belt in the face of a 7-Eleven". :D

    At his prime he was very skilled and probably a underrated flyweight world champion, we need to remember when he outboxed Zou Shiming :

    I used to root for him, because he did come from a very rough background and seemingly had turned his life and himself for the better. But I guess the good times only lasted for as long as he won fights.

    What a shame.

    Apparently, Amnat have big debts, he is a alcoholic and will soon be homeless.


    That's very sad... Thai people are starting to post messages of support because there are a lot of videos of him wandering the streets drunk.

    It would be great if their government could step in and provide the help needed.

    Even better if that could serve as a role model for the public and government how to deal with such fates.

    It's always easier to call for help for formerly famous and successful people it seems. There are probably a few thousand out there with just his background but who havent gotten successful in boxing.

    Help them, too.

    Would also reduce the risk of someone getting attacked. I mean good for the other guy that he knew how to fight, when being under attack by a former world champion.

    This is a sad story, but I usually laugh when I see a headline that reads 'boxer loses street fight.'

    Boxers lose plenty of street fights and for so many reasons. The first and most important one being they usually only have a small portion of the street fighting skillset.
