Rounds 4,5 and 11 were missing but the scores were shown during the broadcast and so I filled them in accordingly.

Knockdowns in brackets during round 8 and 9 because I thought Kingpetch went down on the end of punches but I can't be sure.

In any event, I had it 8-7 for Harada. There's a strong possibility that Harada probably won round 4.

 

Yeah, i thought there were a few not called knockdowns as well from memory.

 

The shift in momentum late on was extraordinary. Harada was all over Kingpetch for most part, but then all of a sudden he seemed to start landing with most of his counters whilst avoiding Harada's best work. It's a stretch to award Kingpetch the victory, especially considering that the suspected knockdowns weren't being called, and that three rounds were missing from the broadcast.

A very entertaining fight, nonetheless.

 

Harada was already eating his way out of the division, which likely accounted for the tiring late, something that happened in a number of his fights, usually when he was already champion and with less to prove.

One of the bigggest criticisms of him really, and a big factor why he had a relatively short career/prime.Raw talent, not much dedication between fights.

 

Harada was basically chucking everything at Kingpetch though and was weight drained.

Hell if Harada could have kept up his workrate that he did in the first 10, there would be no doubting who won this fight at all.

 

There was at least one knockdown not being called.

That Canizales/Minus fight will be on the main page shortly Greg. A matter of minutes.

 

A matter of Minus-etes. Terrible pun.

Ill stay up till its on DLit then get tae bed.

 

You're a funny guy Greg but that was terrible. :yep

What were your takes on the two supposed knockdowns. There's a thread on the classic I made with gifs. I think one of them was definitely one, whereas the other I'm unsure.

 

I'll need to rewatch it. I remember I thought Harada was pretty much jobbed in every where he could be. I think I remember Kingpetch being dropped once or twice and one other one was a definite slip.

You watched any of Marco yet you ****?

The Minus fight is up.

 

Just watched the Burruni fight (lora posted on youtube), and I can say that although I wasn´t too impressed by Burruni (not a skilled fighter, although not a bad one), Kingpech lost that fight widely IMO.....Kingpech was there to be hit all the time, porous defense and lack of speed.....

Interesting fight for sure......

 

Kingpetch was right at the end against Burruni.

I will re-score these fights this week. I will also upload Kingpetch's defence against the pretty ordinary Jap' Noguchi. Him being ordinary, you get to see Kingpetch in full flow as opposed to backpedalling, sticking his jab out and sneakily working in his right uppercut.

I have some pretty interesting reports on the 2nd Harada and Ebihara fights as well. IIRC, neither man thought they'd done enough to beat the Thai.

 

As for the Seki fight, quite a few reports pain Kingpetch as the clear winner and the split decision as 'weird' considering Kingpetch won clearly. The footage certainly paints a more competitive bout than that.
