Carlos Canizales vs. Panya Pradabsri - December 26, 2024

[Ruthless-RKO]

Carlos Canizales vs Panya Pradabsri title fight reportedly set for November

Kenshiro Teraji vacated the light flyweight title earlier this year

ESPN’s Renato Bermudez reports that former champions Carlos Canizales and Panya Pradabsri will meet for the vacant WBC light flyweight title in Thailand this coming November.

Said title formerly belong to Kenshiro Teraji, who battles Cristofer Rosales for flyweight gold in the coming weeks. Canizales (27-2-1, 19 KO) battled Teraji to a hugely entertaining majority decision loss this past January before claiming the silver belt with a narrow victory over Ivan Garcia Balderas. He’s long been among the best in the division, his only other loss coming to Esteban Bermudez on the heels of a two-year layoff while up on all three cards.

Pradabsri (43-2, 27 KO) notably handed Wanheng Menayothin the first defeat of his 55-fight career and went on to defend the minimumweight belt four times before dropping a wide decision to Yudai Shigeoka. He’s 3-0 since over standard-issue Thai Cab Drivers (tm).

With this fight filling the WBC vacancy and Shokichi Iwata vs Jairo Noriega doing the same for the WBO, that just leaves the WBA. “Gold” champion Erick Rosa will presumably fight for it at some point after ages of trying and failing to challenge Knockout CP Freshmart for their minimumweight belt.

Does this fight have a date?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fight happened.

Apparently it was a robbery

Might have to watch this, apparently Pradabsri was lucky to win 2 rounds

[Sendo Takeshi]

Seems like the robbery of the year candidate.
"Close fight," my ass. If it was that close, there wouldn't be a need for a "review," would there?

Also, saying something is going to be "reviewed" is just a way to tell people to shut up about a fight being a robbery.

If you want to do something meaningful, give Carlos a rematch somewhere other than Thailand.

Canizales clearly deserved to win, but it was actually a pretty good fight and at least within the rounds a competitive fight. just one where canizalez was edging most of the rounds, and then late on started to win them more convincingly as pany gassed

tbh, i wonder how many of the people crying robbery actually watched this one - a f@cking minimumweight fight from thailand during the holidays. the type of bout that hardly anyone ever comments on

[handsofstone]

I've only seen Canizales against Teraji, he put up a sterling effort that night, I've been watching a lot of straws and light flys recently, Canizales name keeps popping up, might have to check him out

Projection... speak for your self

I watched it live. It was a clear robbery. PP was landing below the belt all fight, not 1 warning.

Also, the YouTube feed was terrible, filled with Thai adds during rounds. Had to switch to ESPN Argentina/KO. They had it 116-112. I had it a bit wider. Open scoring showed that the fix was in after 8. It was a f*cking travesty. PP was getting hit clean the entire fight. Great chin if nothing else.

I HATE this c*cks*cker...

i did speak for myself manny

[handsofstone]

Never scored but it did look a clear win for Canizales although it was competitive especially early on but second half Pradabsri faded and by championship rounds Canizales was really putting it on to rubber stamp things, he was the aggressor and Pradabsri was more reactive

[goose 5]

I had it 117-111 Canizales. I gave him rounds 6-12 and defy anyone to justify him losing even 1 of those rounds.

the fan scorecard on boxrec has the 8th for panya, 81 percent scoring for panya 19 percent for canizalez

some good right hands for panya that round, and he kept up with CC's work rate, i can see that round for him. it was a competitive fight first half, clearly canizalez surged ahead second half and shoulda won the fight about 116-112 but there was a 6-12 round you could go pp
