How many fighters have a debut that ends in a KO1 requiring several minutes of medical attention and smelling salts? Talk about making a serious and long resonating statement your first time in the ring. Not to mention that within just three professional fights the once sensational, iron chinned and stone fisted Muay Thai champion would transition over to become a world champion at 140 lbs in boxing. The 70's may have been the best era of boxing, ever. I'm always at a loss when I further research the decade. This content is protected
Not only that but just like going into the early 80's championship caliber boxing on tv almost every weekend for free!!!
He had extensive kickboxing experience before this though so it wasnt like he just walked off the street.
Even though he lost the fight, I still think it's pretty damn cool Pete Rademacher can say he knocked down the heavyweight champion of the world in his pro debut.
Amazing upload. Hopefully I can lay claim to someday spreading quality boxing footage like this. Hmm.
The Thai quotes are amazing if you translate them. "Were not Sakusadu Muinsulin at the heyday to have been able to spare the pastry bamboo and then Benitez and the later Aaron Prior? ! In case" "Edwin Barroso still does not care about his uncle." "The big man from the Thai countryside, kind, generous, obsessed with film stars, spend all his money, blind eyes, no friends, the consequences too pathetic. (60-year-old died)"
We need Senor Pepe back in dire times like this. He had all the good nitty gritty details on Muangsurin.
