Just watched a replay of the Pongsaklek-Kameda fight
wow is that little Thai dude tough!
Kameda didn't fight poorly, but Pongsaklek pushed the pace on him all night long - he sure didn't look like a guy with 80 pro fights. He looked fresher than Koki, particularly the last 2 rounds.
I knew Kameda was in trouble during the entrances. Kameda had one of those high-energy, fireworks and blasting music entrances - like the Japanese are famous for. Koki let out a tribal yell on the way to the ring.
The TV camera immediately cut to a stoic Pongsaklek in the ring. He just snickered and looked at his trainer, as if to say "This guy has nothing. I got this."
All credit to Wonjongkam - a gem of a fighter. A little beast. Well deserved.
