Who was the opponent?

Post by scartissue »

On Sept. 18, 1972 in Bangkok Boxrec shows Thai bantamweight Thanomjit Sukohthai knocking out Juan Medina in 5. This is incorrect. Juan 'Cachorro' Medina of Mexico was a full-fledged lightweight and would be engaging Roberto Duran the following year in a 10 round non-title. My old 1975 RRB shows Sukhothai beating one 'Hun Madina' on that date. I cannot find that fighter anywhere and RRB does tend to get sloppy with names so I'm not sure who he fought, but it wasn't a lightweight from Mexico. Can this be corrected?

I have no idea who it was, but I agree that it's highly unlikely that it was Juan Medina. :TU:
