Not a FOTY but easily the best fight I've seen in a while. Both came in unbeaten (Kongfah was 14-0, 10 whilst Higa was 6-0, 6), the WBC Youth Flyweight title was up for grabs and the guys were 20 (Kongfah) and 19 (Higa). Check it out! [YT]tBCQEG8TdDU[/YT]
Kongfah got beaten up after the first 3 rounds. Higa was really strong and was able to deal with the climate in Thailand. That was a little surprise for me.
Think 3 of his 7 fights are available, not a bad return rate for a 19 year old with something like 19 total rounds
Well that sucked, Kongfah is a way better boxer than that Japanese dude, totally outboxed him early but couldn't handle the pressure and got caught. He reminds me of Provod (the other guy). Oh well, he'll bounce back, he's still young.
Kongfah is a waaaay better boxer than the other Kongfah (Nakornluang) who just got beat by Pongsaklek (Sithdabnij). Interesting that both Kongfah's lost their unbeaten records exactly a week apart!
Higa looked fantastic. He was smoking from the opening bell, I never thought Kongfah was comfortable.
