Anyway, don't know much about Sahaprom beyond his record (45-1-2, 30 KO's), his reputation and a couple of fights I've seen on tape. Looks like he has the edge when it comes to experience over RMarquez (29-3, 27KOs) though Marquez appears to have the bigger wallop.On paper, it should be one to watch!
But I'm left wondering why Sahaprom--with all those successful outings-- has not figured (to my knowledge) in any P4P list, while Rafael, a comparatively more recent champ, is on some.
Sahaprom first won the WBA Bantam title from Daorung Chuvatana, but lost it in his first defense to Nana Kunadu (TKO 2). He regained it from Joichiro Tatsoyushi (KO6) and among what subsequently became a long string of defenses, was one to the same Tatsoyoshi (KO7). The two draws on his record were both to Toshiaki Nishioka whom he met 4 times! He won both of the remaining two bouts.
If Sahaprom had names like Austin, Bredahl, etc. on his CVitae, perhaps, even RING will be frothy with praise! As it is, all his accomplishments are easily overlooked. Sad!
Rafael is hugging the limelight at Bantam! They ought to meet! Soon! Sahaprom is already 36 years old!As for Yodsanan (3K) Sor Nanthachai, I must confess that I believe the jury's still out with him. He has a 43-2-1 record but his two losses were KOs, weren't they? In 1994 to Thai compatriots? Besides, his only opponent that rings bells in the international boxing scene is Steve Forbes whom he defeated by UD12 at the Foxwoods Casino, which seems to me to be his only fight staged outside Thailand. I'll just have to sit out forming an opinion on Yodsanan for now,buddy, if you don't mind.
Btway, pal, thanx for the karma points!
