Poonsawat--The New Danger at 122?
Did anyone happen to find a link for the Poonsawat fight in Japan this past Monday?
What is your take on this fighter?
To me he seems strong, and his technique is ok, but his pressure is unbelievable. It reminds of the pressure Pac used at this weight to overrun the division. If he can direct it correctly, does he stand a chance against the top level fighters?

Re: Poonsawat--The New Danger at 122?
I really like the future prospects of Poonsawat, he absolutely pounded Dunne into submission after Dunne had his career defining performance against Cordoba. He could definately dominate with the remainders at 122 because all the threats are moving up to feather. He is not a master of precision, but he more than makes up for that with brutal pressure as you said.Originally Posted by ArawakWarria

Re: Poonsawat--The New Danger at 122?
Even though he is a smaller guy, I believe his power and pressure would be too much for both of the 'champs'--Lopez struggled against Mtagwa (bc of pressure) and he has very little power in his hands. I have alot of respect for Caballero (especially in his unification effort), but I can't imagine him fending off Poonsawat for the whole fight. I would pay for the plane ticket to see him fight Nishioka!I really like the future prospects of Poonsawat, he absolutely pounded Dunne into submission after Dunne had his career defining performance against Cordoba.

This Poonsawat is like a little pitbull man! HBO or Showtime gotta get his ass on their shows.
Only seen a few of his fights on Youtube, but man what a fighter.

I don't think I've seen any more than highlights of his fights. Can someone PM me a link for the Dunne fight?

Re: Poonsawat--The New Danger at 122?
As long as Rigondeaux is at 122 he is the danger of the division, he is way too good against the type of fighter Poonsawat is, he would pick him apart with ease. Too fast, too good of a counter puncher.

I agree Rigondeaux has the ability to beat Poonsawat, but it's a matter of handlers, and who are they going to put Rigondeaux with now? The only reason to step up his competition level is to get a name on his resume and although Poonsawat deserves it, he doesn't have it yet.

Here's the fight:Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym | Satoshi Hosono 1/5
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPmppfxGuD4
This is a totally different scenario. Hosono is NOT a JuFwt. As a matter of fact, he just won a minor title at FWT. He has consistently weighed in between 126-130 over the recent past, and he is clearly bigger than Poonsawat on the video. Still, Pnswt (gotta create my own abrreviation) manages to dominate the whole fight, only losing two rounds on my scorecard. They were both throwing hellacious shots, but Pnswt was landing more often and more accurately in almost every round. Listen to the impact of those punches in 2-4.
The good thing about a fight like this is that it proves he can actually fight the distance against bigger opponents and win fairly easily (I am sure the scorecards would have read differently in a different country). But the bad thing is that he didn't do it in the spotlight, for the bigger money, and it still takes a little away from the tank to have a war like this with a bigger man.
