Bit of an upset there surely, Wonjongkam wins by majority decision to regain the WBC Flyweight title.
I only caught the last 4 rounds on a really choppy stream, so I can't tell how the fight went exactly, but it must have been close enough. Both fighters were celebrating at the end of the fight and Kameda didn't seem too shocked by the decision, just disappointed.
I had a feeling Wonjongkam would win. Hopefully this gets uploaded to youtube soon :cool:
This is horrible news. Hopefully there's a rematch.
I actually caught a pretty good stream on it. It was pretty good fight. I had it 115-113 for Pong. A rematch with Koki, a unification with the other Kameda in the divison, or a 5th bout with Naito are his top options.
Oleydong won. But really I had him losing. He faded badly. I don't see how they gave him the win after being floored late and having a point deducted as well. But that's boxing
One thing for sure: With 75 wins and 3 defeats, defended his title how many, 20 times or something like that? the Thai has the hell of a career, perhaps one of the most under rated fighter of his era and I would also dare to say one of the great.
I have a big issue with Wonjongkam and it's mainly because so many of his defenses were against guys that were either made pro for that fight only or were complete tomato cans. He fights often and he obviously has fought some very good fighters, but a lot of his record is a sham.Quote:

Congratulations to the new SaddoBoxing Flyweight Champion!!! Mick will be ecstatic!!!
I can't really be excited by either of these fighters, both of whom would likely lose to Holly Holm....
Wonjongkam for the HOF!!!;D Bilbo these guys are about the size of hobbits, I thought you were into little guys...
I thought this was on today/tonight and I just found out I missed the Gamboa fight too. Fantastic.
It's funny most Japanese fans are happy that Koki Kameda finally lost a fight. :D
One is a likely HOFer, the other goes through training regimes as tough as those of the best like Mayeather & Pacquiao.Quote:
