Even more surprising is that he made that mistake twice. First time was in the first round and youd expect someone like that to learn and actually be afraid of doing such a mistake again.
Yeah - and to people who don't closely follow the Asian scene it might seem like, on paper, yeah, he knocked out some unready 9-0 kid, so what? - but in reality Jomthong is a little beast and quite a few knowledgeable people saw him seizing Uchiyama's throne even with so little pro boxing experience. Makes it all the more impressive, TU scoring a dominant knockout like that. His best win in years. (since Vasquez if not Miura) It'll appreciate very well in value, too, assuming Jomthong rebounds and still has a very successful career - which he should, he's young.
Saw the fight. The end of the first round was the sign of the inevitable and the KO happened. Pretty brutal >_<
