    a long time coming. He went on longer than he should have so it's nice to see the gloves finally going up. Very solid career.

    Well deserved retirement after to many wars. His fight with Porpramook was amazing.

    Great and brave fighter. Always love his spirit and positive aura on and off the ring. Even when he lost, we don't stop liking him.

    Happy retirement to Akira. I never got to see a lot of his fights, but his name kept cropping up as one of the most 'fan-friendly' fighters in the lower weight classes.

    Besides Porpramook, what are some of his other worth-checking-out fights?

    Aside from the ones BP mentioned, I enjoyed the Tecuapetla fight too.

    Legendary career. Weird fun fact, he beat a debuting Sor Rungvisai earlier on in his career too. Weird one to have on the resume.
