Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym v Bernard Dunne

[slapbangwhallop]

all tied up and purse agreed at the WBA. Brian Peters to promote

[Autobarn]

good to hear, dunne is very watchable when he's in fights that actually mean something

The winning bid was $120,000 with Peters being the only bidder. Possible dates and places for the fight are September 26th in Dublin, Ireland, October 2nd in Macau, China or October 3rd in New York City

[DavidPayne]

Good luck to Dunne smashing fight.

But Celestino Caballero is the WBA champion really isn't he? I mean you know - really.

[Autobarn]

yes david, but you're supposed to keep very quiet about it

[DavidPayne]

sorry.

[BARNEYKX]

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

[Hagler2002]

Has there been any mention of the venue for it?

Can't see the logic of Macau. Yes it's within easy reach of Thailand but Thais are not typically travelling supporters. Dublin is the obvious choice, while NYC could draw a decent Irish-American crowd.

Purse bid of $120,000 won it, how does that get shared up?
Isn't Poonsawat also a WBA title holder? does that mean a 50/50 split?

[DavidPayne]

Will the commentator refer to him as K-rating-daen-ggym or Poon-sa-wat?

[Adamj1987]

poonsawat will win this i think in a tough fight

[Wales]

Will the commentator refer to him as K-rating-daen-ggym or Poon-sa-wat?

"the Thai"

What's your point?

Technically the "super champion" almost vacates the title. He doesn't have to defend it, he doesn't have any mandatory challengers - that's the "regular champion" that has the dubious honour of those commitments.

Dunne has no choice but to fight Poonsawat or lose his title.

Purse split 55-45 to the champ.

his point is that it doesnt look as easy to pronounce as Rendall Munroe - however, Thai names are pretty easy to pronouce - they are just long.

[steve689]

I reckon they will call him Poonsawat. Whatever, let's hope it's put on in Dublin again

[moorser]

this is going to be another cracker of a fight , it wont be easy for dunne but i think he can win in another exciting match up , looking forward to this one

[lowersmiths]

the thais aren't happy with the purse bid situation, apparently their representatives at the meeting weren't allowed to put a bid in....so only Brian Peters' offer went in.

[Asterix]

How is Poonsawat's name pronounced?

[lowersmiths]

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

[Asterix]

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

[Asterix]

I prefer his birth name, Prakorb Udomna.

the surname isn't a surname in the western sense, so nobody uses them to address boxers in thailand. they are simply the sponsor's name.

but if you did want to say it, it's pronounced gratting (bull) deng (red) gym

[slapbangwhallop]

Poon-sa-wat.

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