    Very tough fight to call imo but I'll go with Ohba who I think was just a bit better then Kingpetch. Thoughts?

    Well, I asked for more Masao Ohba and you guys have delivered!

    I'm going with Ohba here. Two good boxers who didn't mind throwing out the game plan from time to time and having a brawl, despite one of them (Kingpetch) being only a serviceable puncher at best. I'd go with Ohba in this one. Just as good a boxer as Kingpetch when he was in full form, but if the fight does go a different route I think he was more durable with greater powers of recovery. Kingpetch struggled with the pace against Harada (I think Harada clearly won the rematch) and Ohba was as fit as they come, capable of a big finish. Once the fight gets past six or seven rounds I'd expect Ohba to be in command and pull away to win the decision as Kingpetch becomes more and more negative.
