Over the past several years, I have made a careful study on this and have an opinion (and its only an opinion) which I will hold back for now, Suffice it to say that I believe the best matches are made in Japan and in Mexicio. And Mexico comes as a surprise to many, but the numbers truly back it up. Japan does a magificent job.
What do you think? I value your opinions on this as I plan to include a chapter on this subject in a book I am writing.
:confused: ;D :confused:
I guess it depends if you mean high end fights or low end ones
With Warren holding sway,Briain is home to constant mismatches in title fights
But in lower to mid level,the States are rife with mismatches,Britain seems to do a better job matching their up and commers and club fighters
I disagree with Japan, I think they along with Thailand are the worst.
Thailand!
Australia has had some bad mismatches recently. Uproar Over Mismatches in Australia - Boxing News
Thailand... Men are brought in like sides of beef to be cannon fodder for a hometown fighter. Many deaths occure due to this. :mad:
Cut, I have studied Japan for years and watched fights in Japan live. They get it right (IMO) MORE THAN ANY COUNTRY. Check out the results on BOXREC and see if you don't agree. Raeely do they have a fighter with a strong record fight one with a poor record. Trust me on this, mate.Quote:

I have no real knowledge of this, but if you check the schedule currently on boxrec for Japan, two of the first three fights to come up have mismatch all over them.
Yasutaka Kuroki (18-3) v Wattana Ponnak (debut)
Yoshinori Kowatari (7-1) v Viratnoi Sithsoei (0-1)
And those two victims there both being shipped over from Thailand. That being said, I can't see that many records on the schedule that look like a journeyman loser's record like, for example, Tony Booth's in the UK.
Gota agree Australia is pretty bad. I think it is largely because there are so few pro fighters in Australia, and because we are so far away from most other countries.Quote:

Fahpetchnoi Sor Chitpattana 21-3 vs. Singdam Singnumpattana 1-1
Terdsak Jandaeng 30-3-1 vs. Eric Macas 3-1
You got to love Thailland though Slovakia and the Czech Republic are giving it a run for its money.
Adrian Rajkai 20-7 vs. Gabor Belogh 1-38-5
Jaromir Soukup 12-1 vs.Rudolf Murko 2-39-1
also on Tuesday in Thailand (no surprise :rolleyes:) they got
Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym 35-1 (25 ko's) vs. Hyok Jun Kim 1-1 (1ko's)
:appl:lets applaud for these a**holes who make this happen
:shakehead: :shakehead:
Thailand IMO
Thailand seems susceptible.
Rodney jun Alba 4-6-2 vs. Sirmongkal Singwancha 46-2......crazy #'s ;D
Alba was said to have been involved in a car crash on his way to the weigh-in and suffered facial injuries/broken nose. He was 'forced' to fight regardless next day ??
Sorry to go off topic, but is it just me or does Tony M look like some sort of serial rapist you would see on crimewatch in holmcall's avatar thing:o
On topic: Thailand
So corrupt there its unreal. Wether it boxing or Muay Thai, alot of matchups seem to be controlled by the cash.
Thailand is real bad.
I think you all are going off of those box rec numbers too much.
Has anyone looked up fatalities and permanent head trauma per country?
Thailand is top on the list. No question about it. No other country does what they do. Plain ridiculous or stupid to match a 60 fight veteran against an up and coming 4 fight rookie. They does that all the time to add another W on their fighters record.Quote:

Thailand is the country where I sumbit the worse mismatches are made. But Slovakia is on the move to take over first place. Indonesia is very bad as well.
They needed to "soften" him up some.Quote:
