LAST OF TWO THAI WORLD BOXING CHAMPIONS PUTS HIS WBC TITLE ON THE LINE By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Fri, 29 Jul 2016  Wanheng Menayothin. The last of two Thai World Boxing Council champions following the smashing 11th round knockout victory of Filipino southpaw Marlon Tapales over rugged WBO bantamweight champion Pungluang Sor Singyu last Wednesday, puts his title on the line against a talented challenger from Mexico on August 2 in Chonburi, Thailand. Minimum weight mandatory challenger Saul Juarez will strive to duplicate the feat of Tapales when he faces Thai world champion Wanheng Menayothin who is unbeaten with a record of 42-0 including 18 knockouts. Juarez on the other hand has 12 knockouts in 23 wins with 4 defeats and one draw. The WBC reported that Juarez arrived in Thailand after a grueling 26 hour flight ?which he didn?t fancy.? But the Mexican arrived in a Thai gym and showed what the WBC described as ?his extraordinary physical condition, built, developed and nurtured due to the expert, dedicated and meticulous coaching of his father and trainer Raul. Juarez said ?I have received the tremendous support of so many people, my promoters and the World Boxing Council. It's been a real slog to get here (to Thailand) so I?m determined to take the very best of the opportunity I?ve worked for. We?ve put in some truly excellent work and preparation. I fully understand it's not going to be easy but I will return to Mexico with a positive result.? Click here to view a list of other articles written by Ronnie Nathanielsz.  |
