The following questions about boxing and muaythai are from Komkrit Mingchuea from Klongsan, Bangkok.

Q: What does “Sia Hui” say about Napapol Kiatisakchokchai’s recent defeat? Will Naphapol continue to box?

A: Napapol Kiatisakchokchai was defeated by Toshiaki Nishioka in the WBC super bantamweight “interim” title match in Japan. Napapol was obviously showing lesser skills in the match but he was doing his best. Napapol is indeed planning to quit boxing but it will not be today as his manager “Sia Hui” Suchart Pisitwuttinan will move him up to fight in a heavier class. He will have to start from step “one” again, just like his nickname.

Q: What is with the news of Sirimongkol Singwangcha? Will he will a training partner for Ricky Hatton?

A: There is indeed a report of Sirimongkol’s new job, but that will be announced later. For now, let’s wait for him to be able to get the visa and leave Thailand. Then, I will tell you more about the detail, but I will not say anything at this moment as it could have certain negative consequences.

‘Korn Krisada’ reported on the news of gangsters wanted to ruin boxing for several times but nothing can make them to be ashamed. They are worse and not afraid of law.

Lately ‘Mhum 2’ King Star Petpayathai, a boxer in control of ‘The Chun’ Perapong Theeradetpong, was scheduled to fight against Kingphai  Kor Saklumpoon at the channel 7 boxing stadium on the past Sunday.

Before the match would start, the rumor had it that King Star faced of some problem. As a curious person, I investigated and knew that

Someone called to kill him if he wins. It caused King Star didn’t dare to fight. Then he told his header and called back for checking the telephone number but it couldn’t connect.

The muaythai industry has been hit hard by the domestic political turmoil as no event at a major stadium this month has generated an earning of more than 900,000 Baht. The rematch of Lerdpet Por Worasing vs. Wanchalerm Sitsornong on September 9, for example, has made only 770,000 Baht, dropping by nearly half from the 1,200,000 earning of the match last month.  

Kingstar Skindiew Gym is not only a mere look-alike of the famous comedian Mom Jokmok, the fighter often comes up with weird anecdotes to amaze people. Recently, he said a mysterious caller threatened to kill him if he won the recent fight with Kingpai Kor Saklampoon. That was why the scared Kingstar was acting in the ring as if he was about to be knocked out, but promoter Sun Kietpet did not buy his story and ordered him to fight anyway. Kingstar won the match with a KO.

Besides making everyone felt surprise by assigning Ungmor-Choojaroen Raweearamwong to fight against Banponlamuang Dee camp, in the latest, the most famous promoter brought his first nephew-Nong Pon, to lull to sleep at the Bangkok boxing stadium which was broadcasting a boxing show. Many people at the boxing stadium were also smilingly that the grandfather felt happy. After spending most of his life with boxing, it doesn’t surprise that Big Song-Songchai Ratanasuban will seek for a friend to relieve his lonely life.
