Bantamweight division ! It is said that the Japanese Daigo Higa wants Wisaksil Wangek "Srikaset Sor Rungvisai", Daigo Higa, former WBC flyweight world champion, has just swept Sirichai Thaiyen and Nawaphon Khaikanha both in the 4th round with powerful body shots. Negotiations will be underway potentially a new challenge for the former WBC Super Flyweight world champion Wangek "Laem", to avenge his compatriots.
Wangek is considering a return to the amateurs, but in a big coincidence he just moved up to bantamweight.
That would be an interesting fight. Due to the level of competition, it's hard to tell how much Wangek has left after being stopped by Bam Rodriguez. Higa has enjoyed a nice career renaissance after his loss to Nishida. I have Higa winning this at the moment but it would be a good fight.
Wisaksil Wangek his last fights are worrying. I read what Thai boxing fans say, they don't want this fight. Because it would be one fight too many for Wangek. I spoke about that here some days ago : https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/wisaksil-wangek-in-total-decline.714844/ But he always has interesting counter-attacks and always knows how to be patient. But he no longer has any explosiveness or power like at his prime. Wangek, however, even at 37 years old, remains more dangerous than Nawaphon or Sirichai for me.
