What do they say the Thai's record is? Thanks for any info and your first reply!

[tuxtucis]

@FleaBOXING It's showed during the fight more than once, but i don't remember exactly when...

[FleaBOXING]

@rawdigga Thanks, but we've already established that. What we're trying to figure out is what his real record was. When he fought Kobayashi after this he was listed as something like 17-2 (11) I think, I'll check it and get back with what it actually says.

[rawdigga]

@FleaBOXING according to record books he was 1-1-0 coming into the fight.

@tuxtucis I've watched it twice lol must be paying too much attention to the action, thanks very much I'll scan through it now.

Do any Spanish speakers know if any information about Vibonchai is conveyed throughout the fight? It is very hard to find any info on him whatsoever, so any help would be very much appreciated.

@Kedbuka Glad I could be of assistance, then. As far as forum suggestions, I'd definitely go with Eastsideboxing. I post there all the time (under the alias El Bujia) with a few stops at other forums from time to time.

[Kedbuka]

@Mowglieboy69 No, I don't post on any forums...any suggestions?

Re: Napoles vs. E. Lopez, I made a silly remark that I didn't consider him an all-time great, which was based largely on Muniz's disputed loss to him--my father complained about that fight for years. You lit me up right quick and asked me to explain myself. Now that I've seen Napoles' fights, I know he was special. I think he'd have given a fighter like Trinidad a boxing lesson and eventually kayoed him. All-time? No doubt.

[Mowglieboy69]

@Kedbuka Well thank you, sir. I honestly don't recall an argument between you and I on Napoles. Was it to do with the Monzon/Napoles fight, perhaps?

Another question: Do you post on any forums?

[Kedbuka]

@Mowglieboy69: No surprise to see your comments here...and six months ago, no less. You obviously have a keen appreciation for the all-time greats.

Off point: I was wrong and you were right. Napoles is most definitely an all-time great. His skill level was beyond reproach.

please more Canto!
