While the rest of the world has it's eyes on the undisputed light heavyweight showdown next week in Saudi Arabia. Sirimongkhon Iamthuam and undefeated Aussie Matt Floyd will do battle for the World Boxing Foundation light heavyweight title - WBF, this Sunday in the capital of Thailand Bangkok. This will be Iamthuam's second fight this year, surprisingly. One of the most peculiar careers in the last 30-40 years. From Bantamweight to Light Heavyweight. There are interesting stories about Iamthuam. However, I will leave it to you guys to do your own research. Matt "The Jedi" Floyd. 35 years old. Started pro in Australia three years ago. Last few fights have been in Thailand against less than stellar opposition. This will be the toughest fight in his career against a two division world champion, albeit a grossly overweight and past his prime champion. Here is Floyd's last fight in June. This content is protected Interestingly enough. This won't be the main event on Sunday. The main event will be a woman's fight for the vacant IBO belt between some Russian chick with duck lips against an Argentinian. You would think having fake lips would be a bad idea in a sport like boxing. This content is protected
Sirimongkhon Iamthuam was a absolute legend in 90's. I'm going with him even if he's really not favorite against the Australian. The thai is not in his division he need to be back in Welterweight but not Light Heavy.
OMG, this is Sirimongkol Singwancha! I can't believe he is still fighting. Now he's a light heavyweight who is a bit shorter than Dwight Muhammad Qawi. I can't imagine him being a solidly built tank like Dwight was so there should be a decent amount of flab around the mid section. I am rooting for the Thai fighter in this one.
Iamthuam´s boxrec is kinda funny. Box-pro, BK-pro, KB-pro, MT-pro, All Bouts, judge, inspector, referee, supervisor. The man has done it all.
