    2 highly underrated Flyweight champs with good boxing skills and weren’t afraid to slug it out. Any thoughts on who wins here?

    Chitalada from his infighting and jabbing skills,but Bassa makes it a war while it lasted.

    Sot was a very strong Flyweight who cut massive amounts of weight. Top skills and jab too. Hard to pick against him here, especially the version that beat Magri. Crazy to think he was making 108 at one point.

    Love Bassa after watching his incredible war vs Dave McCauley (will never forget the 9th round). Was a classy boxer puncher who caught Hilario Zapata just at the right time and even then barely survived the rematch.

    Looked great in McCauley rematch (McCauley would then trounce undefeated Duke McKenzie,3 weight world champ, and future champ Jake Matlala in an exciting world title reign) and beating the solid Ray Medal in the USA.

    Sot Chitalada was a superb boxer, tough fighter with amazing stamina for someone who had to cut so much weight. Finally caught up with him in the Kittikasem fights but wins over Magri, Bernal, Kim II and Salazar illustrate how good he was.

    Bassa seemingly had a shaky chin but like Floyd Patterson recovered quickly. He was a good solid fighter with good skills, power and stamina. I think he would give Chitalada some problems but find himself outboxed and outpunched and losing a good fight on points.
