Thammanoon Niyomtrong vs. Carlos Buitrago II RBR

I wish I could at least say that Boido showed "guts" in reaching the final bell there - but he didn't, really. He spent the whole night running and on the verge of crying. :-( Really I just feel bad for him.

There was no dignity in getting senselessly battered like that - and the paycheck can't have been worth it...and there is certainly nothing for Oleydong to be doing celebratory backflips about. :blood

 

Should we term this a "Olied Dong" or a "Kovalev"..as in "He did a Kovalev on him" or he "did an Oled Dong on him" >_>

 

Laughed out loud in real life at the boxer holding the cards

 

...or handed a trophy for.

 

In Indonesia tomorrow-
Cemal Faruk Urhan will fight Immanuel Caesar Hito


And Ellyas Pical returns to the ring
...at least Kato Vs Yordan will be good!

 

I haven't stopped laughing since Jaikajang vs. Simanjuntak began, @ the bemused Nicaraguan commentators derisively snickering at it and talking shit in Spanish. (at one point one adopted his best falsetto "womanly" voice, as in "eek! A mouse!" - when Simanjuntak was sprinting away from punishment and then flopping in to clinch)

 

I actually heard that high pitched and mocking comment and wondered what was going on :rofl

 

Thammanoon Niyomtrong vs. Carlos Buitrago II, 12 rounds @ strawweight

 

A whopping one person (PinoyProdigy) picking Buitrago to win the rematch here :verysad

 

Why did the champ enter the ring first? :huh

 

Not sure, but it's traditional in Japan for the champion to enter first, wouldn't be a surprise for Thai's to do the same

 

Actually, this is for the vacant title and Niyomtrong was only the interim champ before this - but still. He was the interim champ, outranking Buitrago - not to mention the h2h victory when they last met, for the interim belt. And the home fighter. Strange he walked first.
