I'm sorry you aren't well read or even seemingly literate. Nothing was said about him not being a good fighter for his age. My post mainly centered around corruption in his fights. He won a fight with a low blow after fouling many times that same round and wasn't even cautioned once. How do you explain this away? I also made this post to see if anyone could explain further to me what I heard from Japanese fans over the internet.Originally Posted by Violent Demise
The fact that his father is in a gang does mean something. It could be tied to any corruption that goes along with Kameda's career. This is why I was inquiring about the matter.The fact that Kameda father has gang ties means nothing.
I don't even want to get into how he earned his title shot in the first place. That will just spawn a debate on corrupt sanctioning bodies. To humor you though, I will argue your point since I disagree with your opinion of his level of opposition. I'm sorry, as an avid boxing fan for more than seven years, I've never even heard of Saman Sorjaturong. I did take the liberty of searching for his profile on boxrec and found that he was a thirty-five year old mini flyweight who had been knocked out three times before, two of which were in his four fights leading up to his battle with Kameda. He was absolutely dominated in his 2001 title shot against Yo Sam Choi, losing every round on every judge's scorecard before being stopped. When two years prior he had another battle with the same Choi, and seemed to be fairly competetive over twelve rounds. After his second fight with Choi, he went on to lose to a 4-0 fighter with only two knockouts at that point and subsequently was defeated by a 7-4 fighter. I guess Kimbo Slice is a p4p MMA fighter now that he's feasted on Rey Mercer? You've made my point for me, he is a former champion regardless of his age and he's being fed bums to build up his record. His last fight, after winning a world championship was against a terrororizing 5-1 fighter. I have yet to see either Landaeta fight, but I've heard both were very controversial. I give Kameda respect for taking on a man who at the very least fought him so close in an immediate rematch.
