    I thought he beat Perez also, by a few rds. But like old mate said Perez was past his best.

    I've heard some (My2Sense for one example) say the first Kingpetch-Perez fight was an outright robbery.

    Impossible to see IMO, from what we have.

    But apart from that, I couldn't give Kingpetch a fair share in any of hos big 'wins'. Harada drubbed him twice IMO (2nd was admittedly more competitive) Ebihara starched and then beat comfortably, Seki was a competitive fight that I gave Pone the edge, and Noguchi only got a shot because his Brother was promoting the fight. He was poor against Burruni as well.

    Not even the greatest Thai IMO.

    I'd have Chionoi higher myself.[/quote]

    Isn't that a city?

    Maybe I've misspelt his name, but you knew who I was talking about ;-)

    As for Chang, I'll let someone else explain, it'll only sound like I'm making it up :lol:

    With Kingpetch-Harada 2, it depends if you like Masahiko's swarming, sometimes wild attack or Pone's jab and accurate counters.

    Wel we don't have the full fight, but i've never seen anyone have Kingpetch near enough from what we do have to think he realistically won the bout.

    Kingpetch came into the fight late as the japanese hatton tired(no doubt thinking he could cut corners after the dominance of the first bout)but it wasn't enough.

    Thats not the most surprising thing in the post to me.

    How the **** is Tua even getting mentioned he is nowhere near good enough.

    I think its a good win, Kingpetch gets **** on alot, he deserves praise for the two wins over Perez IMO

    Please post your scorecard?

    I really cant see a Pone win.

    Harada dominates it early, even the rounds we dont have the commentators score most of them to Kingpetch (which I blindly follow) and even then Harada is still a wide winner

    Kingpetch trained like a demon for the second fight as not to upset King Bhumibol. Even with Harada not at his best, the very best Pone couldn't get the better of it (from the rounds we have)

    As much as Kingpetch is known for his ranginess atthe weight, I've always seen his right uppercut as his most potent weapon. He could sneak it in against everyone, and against the smothering Jap' you see it's quality in both fights.

    Still, didn't win either, even if you give him the rounds we don't have from the 2nd fight.

    In terms of pure ability, Payakaroon has to be in with a shout.
