This is all coming from the tragic death that just occured this past Friday when Lito Sisnorio took a beating from former Champ. Chatchai Sasakul.
GAB chairman states that untill he is ensured the safety of his fighters then ban will remain indefinitely.....

This is crazy! man I mean certain procedures and regulations have to be taken here and they werent..... Someone skiped a few steps and disreguarded the regualtions, Someone knew this wasn't right and they closed their eyes and let this one go by....

IMO that Someone has to serve some time.

This is what the fight reads on BoxRec:
"Catchweight of 116 lbs. Sisnorio died from injuries sustained in this fight. Sisnorio is 11-5-1 following this fight. This fight has no approval from Philippine boxing commission, Games and Amusement Board (GAB), and considered as illegal."

Thoughts on this, banning of ALL Filipino fighters from Thailand.....
GAB realy wants to stop Filipino boxers who fights in thailand who have really no chance of winning pitted against much skilled thai opponent and serves just to pad their record. thailand is well-known for making mismatch fights. imo, because of this mismatches, tragedy like that of Sisnorio is just waiting to happen.

my thought is until thailand's boxing authorities will continue to patronize making these mismatch bouts, GAB really has the right to impose ban for the safety of the filipino boxers.
