Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym v Bernard Dunne

[Old bones Ian]

Mee Khong Thai whiskey and red bull, that sends me a bit spanners

[Autobarn]

poonsawat will win this i think in a tough fight

i go for dunne. bigger, fastre bloke. however, dunne could have problems punching down, and as duke mckenzie pointed out one time, he has a very wide guard that can be punched through

i like dunne. after all he's done, after all he's won, he's still a "regular" guy

great fight, very credible title defence, and it looks good that - like dunne - poonsawat has beaten cordoba, also in a classic.

[Autobarn]

just how it is spelt

poonsawat (but with a closed consanant at the end)

and his surname just means ''red bull gym'' who are his sponsors

perhaps the mouthful of a name will put a stopper in the mouth of that hyperbolic, hyperventilating commentator. the aussies and the irish, they love their winners don't they

it's going to be a great fight and i'm leaning towards the thai. i was ringside for his last fight and he has never looked stronger. i doubt dunne can keep him off but the irish kid has got a huge heart so this should be a cracker.

[alexpaterson]

Should be a good fight very tough fight for Dunne I hope he wins he is very entertaining to watch

heart was one of the things that kept dune in that cordoba fight. i got the feeling he was fighting on fumes, inspiration, a bit of speed & perhaps crowd inspiration. i doubt he can keep this up for long at 122

[BARNEYKX]

How is Poonsawat's name pronounced?

Poon-sa-wat.

Any else think that he reminders them of a quicker, slicker Kiko? gulp!

i think you got it right there sligobhoy

[Steve89]

Munroe would demolish both of these clowns. Why don't Poonswat fight Munroe eh?

[crusader]

Munroe would demolish both of these clowns. Why don't Poonswat fight Munroe eh?

Because Monroe isn't a world champion, and fighters would usually rather fight for a world title than nothing.

LOL the Thai will beat them both.

[steve689]

So is this Thai any good then or what? Has anyone seen him fight?

Because Munroe is a level below both of them, and brings nothing to the table.

Nothing but a beating for both of them and they know it. How is it that Dunne is fighting in "world title fights" Martinez is fighting in a world title eliminator and Munroe is being dodged by every superbantamweight.

[Cannibal]

Poonsawat looks tiny even for a super bantam. Dunne is probably gonna look huge next to him on the night.

Now please stop talkin furshizzle and alienating support for Murnoe! sweet dreams!

what like Kiko?

[Cannibal]

what like Kiko?

Kiko had 2 inches on this guy and was much broader.

looks about the same to me - same style as well except Poonsawat looks much slicker

[Cannibal]

Of course he's better than Kiko, but I think Dunne is too, although he's unlikely to be having a rematch with him anytime soon to prove it.

I'd need to see a full fight of him to judge. Going by the fight reports though, he seems pretty good.

Peters has done well winning the rights, as Poonsawat has only fought once outside of Thailand and that was the fight he lost. From what I can gather he carries decent power and can pressure fight as well as box, so Dunne will have a tough night on his hands.

On the Cordoba fight report it said that Cordoba was outboxing him in the early rounds and beating him to the punch with his speed but Poonsawat gradually wore him down with body shots to close the gap and took over. Cordoba always seems to slow down late in fights though.

I'm reserving judgement until I can see some proper footage of the guy.

sounds like the Dunne fight tbh!

It is a great match and I am really looking forward to it. I think Poonsawat will win, probably by KO - but I thoght Cordoba would win as well! I love being proven wrong.

And to be fair to Dunne he showed me something in the Cordoba fight that I never saw before so maybe I got him wrong.

just how it is spelt

poonsawat (but with a closed consanant at the end)

I meant the whole name. I could guess at his first name easily enough. ;;-)

Thais use their first names more than their surnames anyway, so it would be correct (and easier) to call him Poonsawat in the commentary.

For example, in Thailand you'd be Mr Charles, rather than Mr Sexton.

[gemmell]

Dunne should have went for Munroe,he sure is up against it with Poonsawat i cannot se dunne winning this one,but good luck to him anyway

yes he was offered £300,000 by maloney for the munroe fight..but i knw for a fact dunne would gte outboxed by rendall munroe...hmmmm this pooonsawat i havn't seen much of every1 keeps saying he is good but look at his RECORD he has fought all BUMS apart from a decent CORDOBA who he beat split decision..howeveer bernard dunne isn't very good to be honest his last fight was spectacular..i think cordoba was slightly overated going into the fight..but dune showed heart and stamina..well done to the lad but i cant see him holding onto the belt for much longer..we;; if you look at his fight with kiko martinez then you will see how average dunne is in my view! munroe schooled martinez twice

is Munroe really pressing for a fight against the Japanese WBC champ Nishioka? that's a belt he's rated for. does a trip to japan really put them off that badly?

munroe is going to be beat as soon as steps up the competiton , dunne was caught cold like amir khan , munroes fans have to be the most delusional fans i have ever came across , munroe has fought nobodys and is limited , mark my words he will be beat as soon as he steps up the competition
