Apinun Khongsong: Downua Ruawaiking The Hard Boiled Thai Light Welterweight Trang Province Killer.

Apinun Khongsong born 07/14/1996 is a 5'10 Light Welterweight with a 15-0 12 KO's record. Born in Trang, Thailand an fighting out of Bangkok. Not a hell of a lot is known about Apinun, who used to go by the alias of Downua Ruawaiking, reportedly had something in the vicinity of 100 bouts as an amateur, no info on how many wins or losses. But that's kind of par for the course as far as Thai fighters go, but all of that is irrelevant now, because even though he was an unknown before, he's made his presence felt and in a big way. Apinun got his first shot at glory against rugged Japanese 33 year old war horse Akihiro Kondo, who while he has several losses, most of them coming at the hands of the top operator in Japan, and many of the close SD variety. Kondo's most well known for going the 12 round distance and to war with heavy punching Russian Sergey Lipinets, who landed flush countless times. Kondo never hit the canvass, and supposedly has never been dropped as a pro in 39 matches, well that came to an end when he stepped in the ring with the Thai, who not only KO'd Kondo, but completely and totally disconnected Kondo from his senses, by nearly beheaded him with an uppercut from hell, a KO upset I predicted. So at the very least, we know the power he flashed in his previous matches, is very real and serious enough to compete with the top dogs at LWW. Skillwise, he's got the goods as well, he controls range fairly well, works behind a stiff and punishing jab, has okay footwork, and since he has been clipped several times, he seems to have good whiskers. But his main two strengths is two hellacious punches, his straight right and uppercuts are absolutely ghoulish, and if he connects flush, they do damage. How far will he go? Who knows, his chin might give way when he steps in with beasts like Taylor and Prograis, but at the very least, his power is enough to get a few something to think about, an pull an upset or two, maybe even several along the way. It doesn't hurt that he looks like an absolute badass ripped out out of a Hing Kong shoot 'em up, he got a tuxedo wearing Chow Yun-Fat killer businessman look about him. So Check Out Khongsong Conking Some Lights Out.

How far can Khongsong go at LWW? What say all of you? Is he another Teerachai Kratingdaenggym? Or can he prove to be a level or two higher? Personally I think he already is.

 

Wouldn't you guys like to know who the big Thai Guy is that flattens one of the top guys at 140 before he does it?

Then give Khongsong a watch.

 

Josh Taylor's upcoming opponent is one bad mofo.
