Pongsaklek Wonjongkam loses against Daisuke Naito?

Pong KO'd this guy in 30 secs the first time, brutalized him to the point where the fight had to be stopped the second time, and Naito finally survives for 12 and gets a points victory. This smells like a major robery.

BTW, stop hating on Pong. This guy's the employee, and he does what management and promoters wants him to do. Also, he was paid crazy cheddar to take this third fight. Over 100k USA at least, and that's a lot of change in Thai Baht.

 

that " I just do what my promoter wants" excuse can only take you so far . . . he used it up a LOOOONG time ago.

 

Say what you want, but that's the type of situation that he's in. It's not like promoters from other camps are going directly to Pong to make offers. Offers and negotiations are directed towards his management team.

Like he said in his interview, his only job is to train and fight.

 

Finally the guy gets beat. I think its just Pong who was ducking and reluctant to leave his back yard. I think Thais are down ass fighters and would fight anywhere. I've seen alot of Thai boxers on American t.v. fight in the U.S.. I think its the Korean and Japanese fighters that are reluctant to fight outside their yards. Except for Chi, I have never seen a Korean or Jap fighter fight outside of youtube not in their home turf. The thing is it is hard for an outsider to win in these countries even though it is lopsided beating of the hometown guy. Remember Roy Jones in the Olympics in Korea. In front of the entire world the judge was able to make his decision. Imagine what happens when nobody really notices. Thats how nasty it really is. I think they know they'd get beat if they step out their door.

 

dont you guys see a trend here,

first it was Arce, then Darchiniyan now Wonjongkam.

 

blah blah blah, at some point a fighter has to stand up to his manger. . . he failed to do so and now he got what he deserved.

Its a good day for boxing when a ducker loses.

 

Whos next? ....Katsidis, Solis, De Leon, Gonzales. hehehe, wishful thinking.

 

Exposed by a guy he defeated with ease twice. atsch

 

that makes it all the more sad.

 

What I"m saying is...How the hell is this a definition of being exposed.

This situation is more a definition of "Suspicion". How the **** do you go from whooping a guy's ass 2 times(not just winning close decisions), but ass whoopings to losing the third fight cuz the guy survived all 12 rounds and the fight was in his homeland?

That's all I'll say for now, and maybe my mind will change after seeing the fight.

I've seen a few of Pong's fights, and despite what any of you say, he's a great boxer. Has excellent skill, power, and quickness. He's an aggressive fighter, and has excellent defense and countering ability even while moving in.

This all reminds me of what happened to JMM in Indonesia. Close fight, and it goes to the hometown boy.

My question is why would you fight a dude you already whooped on twice rather than fighting somebody "more worthy"?

 

he may be all those things, I dont know. . . but one thing I do know is that he's a ducker and thats the last thing the sport needs is another ducker. . .I hope he never get a meaningful fight . . . . cause he never wanted to make one when he held the belt. So good riddance.

 

Exactly, but, like he said in his interview that was posted in an article here(can't find it right now), the deal for a third fight with Naito was very lucrative for him. So, I can't blame him for taking the fight.

 

This guy is over . . . now he can fight inside his country until he retires for all I care.:yep
