BOXING - 12/15

This is my new found interest just fishing for conversation I guess haha.

I plan to watch/DVR all of this and watch every fight over the weekend. Might spill into the week b/c of football though.

Nice! I couldn't get anyone to get enough interest in my circle of friends. So at least I have HBO and Showtime so I'll be watching them on TV.

That is the top P4P guys to you? Haven't some of those guys only fought in two weigh classes tops?

EDIT: I guess the ranking is regardless of weight class, not demonstrating that you have fought in different weigh classes, my bad.

Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym's attempt to win back the WBA super-bantamweight title suffered a knockout blow on Thursday after he failed pre-fight blood tests.

The 32-year-old Thai was scheduled to fight unbeaten champion Guillermo Rigondeaux of Cuba in Texas on Friday.

Poonsawat failed three blood tests, ending his hopes of regaining the title he lost to North Korea's Ryol Li Lee in Japan in 2010, his handlers said.

According to his wife Uangkarn Udomna, Poonsawat's test failure may be the result of the recessive blood disorder, thalassemia.

Promoter Thaweesin Laosuwannawat said that a press conference will be held in Bangkok to explain the issue on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Pornsawan Porpramook (27-4-1, 17KOs) will challenge for the vacant WBA minimumweight title against Japan's Ryo Miyazaki (17-0-3, 10KOs) in Osaka on Dec 31.

The 34-year-old Thai is trying to win back the title he lost to Japan's Akira Yaegashi last October. However, the Japanese is heavy favourite as he is 10 years younger.

 

I thought I saw that headline as well. That's even worse :/
