Veeraphol Sahaprom, Assorted Fights. GC's Standalone RBR.

Thailand's boxing style has fascinated me since I learned about it. Hell, Thailand as a whole. I'd love to visit. On a boxing note, guys like Chionoi and Muangsurin are awesome, really fun. Kingpetch's win over Harada is ATG level stuff and the Galaxy's are insane. Rungvisai is one of my favourite active fighters right now, too. I feel like it's underrated when people talk about countries who produced greats consistently. It's in a similar boat as Panama or the Philippines, in that it has countless greats but people discard them based on a lack of knowledge. Although Panama and the Philippines have Durán and Pacquiao.

The round started with Nish taking the stalking role and throwing flashy combo's at Sahaprom, but ultimately falling short before backing off and letting Sahaprom come to him. Veeraphol failing to land heavily but Nish boxing cutely and throwing sharp combinations which took a close round. Neither too effective here.

Hard one to score, as Nishioka did the better work for the majority of the round, but got caught flush as clean with sharp left hooks. Nish showing his insane reflexes and mixing it up with some very eye-pleasing combo's. His hands-down pivots did cause him to get hit hard, but he threw enough to overcome that and nick a really close one.

Nish still boxing at range, and when the gap closes flurrying like a man mad at hyperspeed. He may have ate a few counters, but none as clean as the 3 punch piece which tagged Veeraphol near the start. Nish's athleticsm the clear telling factor, here. Momentum pendulum swung now. Big time.

Absolutely! Chionoi vs Torres was amazing, as was the Oba fight. Shame he didn't pull through with the latter. Saensak was super strong and winning the title in his third fight is nuts.

 

I'm not just a lazy fecker, my WiFi went out.

Nishioka looking to use his athleticsm how he did before but Sahaprom more active and aggressive. His laser-like right hand punctured Nish's guard ample times and so shut down Nishioka's opportunities and activity.

They spilt it again??? Anyways, a battle of the jabs takes place momentarily, before both start letting bombs fly. Sahaprom getting the better of it and putting Nish on his bike. Sahaprom landing cleaner.

117-111 Sahaprom

Nishioka throwing more out the gate, but Sahaprom landing cleaner. Excellent defence from both. Really close as it happens, Nish throwing more still, especially in combo's but most missing while Sahaprom lands the odd shot clean. I could really see it even, or either way but Sahaprom's work was neater, and quality > quantity.

Nish coming in with his jab, parried by Veeraphol. Sahaprom largely inactive, landing a nice right hand though, Nish clinching and moving. Nishioka fighting to negative for his own good, as he was too far away to land. When Sahaprom tried to stalk and pounced into a straight right, Nish tied him up and landed a few nice lefts.

**** all happened! Neither landed clean, neither were in range often, neither worked a nice jab, it was just ****. Neither deserved it and Nish's range just made this round boring as ****.

Neither did much again. I normally don't like rewarding flashiness and speed over efficiency and effectiveness, but Sahaprom didn't actually land much at all whilst Nish looked better. He also did better with his jab.

Much more fun round! Sahaprom landing and leaping, Nish throwing back. Nish's movement giving Sahaprom massive issues but Sahaprom working in some nice rights and parrying the jabs that Nish threw.
