Watch this space, but their is speculation that if Onesongchai won the purse bids on Pungluang Vs Tomoki then Tomoki will vacate. This is partially down to the historical issues Japanese fighters have in Thailand and Tomoki himself saying he's struggling to make 118. Could be BIG news for British fans as Paul Butler would, in theory bet set to fight Pungluang! If Butler gets Hall (IBF) then Pungluang v Ryosuke Iwasa would be VERY possible. Strangely Iwasa complained about weight issues himself after his victory over Richard Pumicpic. At #5 is Paulus Ambunda, the man who beat Pungluang for the same title back last year.
that's the way boxing works nowadays. I'll probably lose if I fight that guy, so I'll vacate instead. Next step is talking smack about the guy he just ran away from.
