Thammanoon Niyomtrong vs. Toto Landero RBR

Lots of the pro-debuts are seasoned Mua Thai fighters who can walk through a decent punch, much better than many boxers fed to prospects in the "solid record" parts of the world

 

Looks like minimumweight has another contender, at any rate. Will have to check this out when I get a chance.

 

I'm suprised that IB and PinoyProdigy had the fight so close, i thought it was a close, but clear win for Freshmart.

 

Exactly this.

Most have had over 100 high level MT fights and have been training in a pro manner since 5 or 6 years old.

 

I thought the Pinoy spoiled a lot early and some of the early rounds were nothing rounds that could have gone either way. Freshmart had the clearer rounds. So no robbery although that 119 card was a disgrace and the 117 was a bit iffy too.

 

Thanks. Was planning on rewatching it later on today or this week. Watching Buitrago II now actually. You see those? Actually think Buitrago was shafted in the first fight.

 

I thought there were a lot of competitive, yet clear rounds for each fighter.

Rounds 1,2, and 4 (two of which I gave to Landero) could have gone either way.

Rounds 3 and 7-10 were clear Niyomtrong rounds.

Rounds 5-6 and 11-12 were clear Landero rounds.

115-113 Landero to 116-112 Niyomtrong are the only cards I’m fine with. Those two scorecards from the judges were BS. The fight could have gone either way IMO. Landero is world class.

 

I had it 116-113 for Freshmart, Landero definitely showed class though.

 

Where would you rank Landero as far as the Filipino minimumweights go h2h? Top 3-5? His movement and spoiling tactics gave the Thai a lot of problems.. But that took a lot of energy and once he slowed down Freshmart took full advantage and started to beat the hell out of his body. Really surprised he wasn't stopped there. Was really liking my TKO prediction in Kirks during those two rounds But Landero showed a lot of toughness to get through that rough patch and will definitely be better down the line.

 

I'm curious in how a fight between Landero and Melvin Jerusalem would play out.
