Managemt will.take care of it lol

quality boxer ... after beating one of the best boxers in the world twice!! srisaket then beats a top challenger in the the Mexican fighter all away from home in America ..deserves more praise and I hope he can get more coverage from these wins

Congratulations on a job well done.  I had it scored 115-113 like one of the judges but could have gone 116-112 as well, as the Mexican threw no shots for the first 7 rounds.  By the time he decided to fight, it was too late, and as an inflexible counterpuncher, he was unable to become the aggressor and go for the KO.  Srisaket is good, but he could become alot better if he improved his footwork, held his hands higher, worked on his jab and threw better combos.  Not many great fighters at this weight but  hopefully he can find someone better than this Mexican in order to have a more exciting fight.
