You know who's a good, underappreciated little fighter?

Terdsak Jandaeng.

I'm serious.

Sure, he's lost to all three class opponents he's faced. And lost just about every round. But none of the three really dominated or embarrassed him. And honestly, losing to Guzman, Marquez, and Luevano, with their combined 115-5-2 record and each with enough natural talent to make any top recognized p4p king blush, is no major cross to bear.

He's always exciting without being just a sloppy brawler. Good, fundamentally solid boxer with that mongoose-like Thai style. Just doesn't quite have the physical tools to pull it all together. He could have some much better wins on his resume and maybe even be ranked in or near the low end of the top ten if he was matched up with some other B level guys. As it is, unfortunately for Pit Bull, the three times he's stepped up it's been with absolute world class. And while those world class guys shut him out they broke a sweat, had to earn it, and knew they'd been in a fight.

 

Butthead,

All three of his big fights are available to view on the web. I strongly encourage those who haven't seen one or more of them to take a peek; if not only as a common measuring stick for the three elites, but because this kid is a sturdy, determined little scrapper who gave three potential HOFs (one lock) absolute hell and will probably be overlooked in the grand scheme even if he wins his next twenty (since they'll all likely be against Siamese or pinoy bamboo cans).

 

Exactly, I don't think he's missing from anyone's p4p list, but he's one of those hardworking guys in the sport who's just fated to be lost in the shuffle. It's good to cast a little light and throw these guys props now and again.

I think you might underrate Luevano a little. You could literally cast him in a video adaptation of a boxing textbook. There's a lot to be said for consistency, even if it isn't worthy of a HL reel.

 

What is the matter, Farmboxer? Do you need oil? Where is your can?

 

Right. And your point? Where did I say Terdsak was himself an elite or anything more than a decent fighter?

As stated, I'm just calling a little bit of attention to a hardworking, exciting guy who's likely to get overlooked as there are much bigger names with far more talent floating around the lower weights. These are the guys who give their backs for the elite to walk on - the tests they must pass to enter Valhalla.

And for the last time, Luevano is world class. You need to be above average to even win rounds (or see the closing bell) against him, let alone beat him.
