They should change the terminology. TKO - ref, doc steps in KO - can't beat the count KTFO - what happened to pw
Thanks for the heads up with this guy. I love the oriental boxing scene. They got whack ass fighting styles up in there.
Boxers from Thailand change their last name to their camp or sponsor name as a show of respect. Hence Prasad 3K Battery.
Got dropped himself on the way too. I spotted this kid on boxrec today. Tried a few places but cant find any footage of him either http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=509666&cat=boxer
vs. Pinyo Sor Tarapinyo: [yt]WuPMH403iic[/yt] vs. Takeshi Kawanami: [yt]7QnrxdWFd5E[/yt] vs. Dinpun Chuwatana: [yt]pfvn98UMs5I[/yt] There isn't any footage of the Tanada fight available to my knowledge, but here's a report: "Masao Nakamura earned his first pro title on Sunday in a battle of unbeaten prospects, surviving an early knockdown to stop OPBF super featherweight beltholder Allan Tanada (10-1-2, 5KO). The Osaka-native sported an 11-0 record coming into the ring, each victory via stoppage, with quality wins over veteran Takeshi Kawanami and tough Ryota Kajiki. However, questions about Nakamuras true abilities still lingered and Tanada would prove to be the former two-time high school champions toughest test.According to Osaka Hochi, the challenger picked himself up after being dropped in the second by a right hand and calmly worked himself out of the jam. Creating distance and working behind a sharp jab, Nakamura found an opening in the fifth, flooring Tanada with a straight right. Though the Filipino also rose from the mat, the challenger moved in quickly, forcing the stoppage at the 0:46 mark.By recording his 12th consecutive stoppage victory, Nakamura inches closer to the national record held by former world titleholder Tsuyoshi Hamada (15KOs)."
keep this thread going, hes not a prospect ive heard much about and id like to keep updated on him. He seems like a great talent and is taking a few risks early in his career.
