Chatchai Kratingdang Gym of Thailand was defeated by WBC-WBA super flyweight champion Christian Mijares in the last match of the former world champion’s professional boxing career at Monterrey, Mexico, on August 30.

In the first round, Chatchai was using a defensive strategy while attempting to counter the attacks of Mijares, but the Mexican boxer was able to utilize his longer reach and hit the Thai fighter in the face with a left cross in mid round. Chatchai, however, also had a clean hit on Mijares’ body at the end of the round.

WBC lightweight champion Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines has rejected to fight the legendary boxer Oscar De La Hoya in what would become the latter’s last match before retirement, says Pacquiao’s lawyer.

Lawyer Franklin Gacal who represented Pacquiao announced on August 14 that the Filipino champion has declined the proposal from De La Hoya to arrange a fight of the two boxers on December 6.

Pacquiao’s next fight would instead be the WBC lightweight title defending match in November at Las Vegas with Mexican boxer Humberto Soto, according to Gacal.

The Filipino champion was one of the four candidates De La Hoya chose to be his opponent on the December 6 event which De La Hoya said would be his last professional boxing match. The Mexican American wanted to fight in the super welterweight class, although Paquiao is currently fighting in the lightweight that is several weight classes lighter than the De La Hoya’s proposal.
