Thanongsak Simsri vs Sergio 'Yoreme' Mendoza IBF 108 lbs the April 13th in Japan

Two notables others fights in the undercard :

- Kazuma Aratake from Ohashi Gym the 23 years old southpaw 1-1 (1KO) vs Parinya Khaikanha 7-4 (7KOs) the Thai is the little brother of the former World champion Suriyan Sor Rungvisai and Navapon Khaikanha.
It will be 8 rounds in Minimumweight, I'm very curious of the comeback of Parinya and I like Kazuma Aratake a lot, probably my favorite japanese boxer in Minimumweight currently and he can easily later moved up at 108 and 112 lbs. The amateur record of Kazuma Aratake is 58 wins - 7 loses (11 wins by KOs), he is two times national amateur champion in Japan and amateur Champion in tournament between the universities in Japan 2023.


- The other one is the pro debut of Kenji Hayashi the 18 yo southpaw Minimumweight from Ohashi Gym in Yokohama, he want to become a unified champion at 105 lbs (Minimumweight) he will be against Rukia Okubo 19 years old 2-2-1 (2KOs) in a 4 rounds in Minimumweight (105 lbs).

Very curious also about Kenji Hayashi for the reason that the guy have no amateur fight (no documented amateur fight at the moment), but he must be very talented for Ohashi Gym (promoter Hideyuki Ohashi) to turn him professional directly.

 

Weight in :

Thanongsak Simsri 107,3 lbs and Sergio "Yoreme" Mendoza 107,1 lbs.

I think Sergio "Yoreme" Mendoza is the best light Flyweight in the world the guy moved down from Super Flyweight, physically very strong he will not be a champion long time in Light Flyweight because of the cutting, but his body shots are terrible. He will also have the reach and size advantages against the Thai, he have all the qualities for to be superior here, his footwork and his positioning are also very good and he is a southpaw (Thanongsak is is not too comfortable against southpaws even though he beat Cristian Araneta and Masataka Taniguchi it was always decision extremely close).

He should probably beat Thanongsak Simsri by TKO in later rounds 10-11.

 

Wow big surprise for me Thanongsak Simsri keeps his IBF Light Flyweight belt by 2nd round Knockout :

The Mexican was definitely worn down from the weight cutting, that was obvious, but I really thought he could win; he had better boxing skills. But it's worth noting that Thanongsak trains with top-quality sparring partners in Japan, like Shokichi Iwata and Renya Tawara, at the Greentsuda Boxing Gym.
