JANDAENG-RODRIGUEZ: BRINGING BACK MEMORIES OF 2006 ESPN.COM FIGHT OF THE YEAR PhilBoxing.com Tue, 05 Oct 2010  Ban Rai Temple, Nakhon Rathasima, Thailand ? Yesterday was another great day for Thai sports fan as Kokiet Group Promotions in Association with Sampson Boxing LLC treated the Nation of Thailand a Vegas style event with top contenders. Highly rated prize fighter, Terdsak Jandaeng won the vacant WBC Silver super featherweight title via TKO stoppage on the 8th round with 1:50 seconds to go. Known as the ?Pitt Bull?, Jandaeng who had wars with the likes of all time Mexican Legend great Juan Manuel Marquez and going the distance with Dominican Republic ?Little Tyson? Joan Guzman and all out war against former world champion Steven Leuvano, showed why Jandaeng deserved to be in the elite and to be Thailands next future world champion. The known fighting Pitt Bull showed the grits of a world contender as he took Rodriguez to the square ring to engage on a all out war. However, Rodriguez could not take the fire power of Jandaeng to the bread basket who put Rodriguez down three times before referee Yuji Fukuchi had seen enough and called a halt to the fight on the 8th round. Terdsak Jundaeng, 41win-3loss-27ko, is surely a fighter to be reckoned with. The fight brings back memories of the past Thai prize fighter Somsak Sithchatchawal destruction of Mahyar Monshipour, that eventually awarded Sithchatchawal 2006 ESPN.com Fight of the Year. In that article from Dan Rafael, ?No, the fight was not on American television?. ?No, you've probably never heard of either guy?. ?And, no, it ain't easy to pronounce their names?. ?However, it is easy to declare that on March 18 in the Levallois-Perret section of suburban Paris, Thailand's Somsak Sithchatchawal and Iranian-born, French citizen Mahyar Monshipour fought a sublime and exceptional fight, one of the greatest in recent boxing history?. Written by Dan Rafael ESPN.com. Yes, it is he, Bobby Villaver, a Filipino-American Hawaii based trainer who mastermined the destruction of Monshipour and it was also he that was credited by Thailand sports media that Villaver was the man credited for that big victory against Mahyar Monshipour in 2006. With that said, it is another history in the making as he now has another pupil that he trains by the name of Terdsak Jandaeng who had won against (Argentina) Carlos Ricardo Rodriguez for the World WBC Silver super featherweight champion. Asked how he would rate Jandaeng performance, Villaber said, ?I would rate him at number ?8? at this time, Terdsak could of done better, he gave Rodriguez too much respect and I believe the more time I will work with him the better he will be." "This is our first training camp together, I am sure next time you will see him in his full ability, to throw more combination and learning to defend himself while he is engaging against his opponent is the only thing that I see in him that needs improving. "Other then that, I think he will learn quickly and will soon be better to take on any of the world champions in his division out there, you will see?, said Villaver." Villaver was also the chief trainer in charge for Prawet Singwangcha on the controversial draw against Jose Miguel Cotto the brother of WBA Jr. middleweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico. Many at that time including Puerto Rico Fight Fans, thought that Prawet Singwangcha had won, that only ended up in an un-popular home town draw, the bout was scheduled for the vacant WBA lightweight championship. Kudos to Fil-Am trainer Bobby Villaver, you will hear more from him. Top photo: Trainer Bobby Villaber (L) and Terdsak Jandaeng pose after Monday's fight in Thailand.  |
