I decided to look on Youtube for a replay of the WBA super bantamweight championship as True Vision and none of the Thai terrestial channels decided to bother to show one of Thailands best in the most important fight in his life.As it was being fought in Dublin,Dunne had the overwhelming support of the crowd.What I saw was a demolition of Dunne in three rounds.The Irish commentators were a joke.Twice out of the three times that Dunne went down,one of them said that he didn't see the punch!Whoever Poonsawat meets in his next fight will have to be a puncher because jabbing and moving won't keep this boy away for too long.He was relentless in his pursuit of Dunne.He's up there with the best that Thailand has produced.

the commentators were awful, all they kept trying to do was make out that Poonsawat was using his head too much and as you say the comment about not seeing the punches was sillly as you could clearly see them and made him look stupid as soon as the reply came up and Poonsawat's fist was shown again crashing into Dunne's jaw

Yeah,that was biased commentating in the extreme.Even more ridiculous was the reference to the 'Phantom punch' which Poonsawat threw which the whole viewing audience must have seen instead of those two jokers.Some of the Youtube braindeads reckoned that Dunne would turn the tables if or when they met in a rematch.I don't Dunne would want to meet this boy again for any amount of money!

Not isolated by any means. Check the McDermott v Tyson Fury fight also on YT (in 4 parts due to going the distance). Early commentary from Jim Watt is pitiful and the ref's decision wasn't a lot better. The rematch however is well worth looking forward to.

A good scrap and the rematch will have them swinging from the rafters but, if the promoters think Tyson Fury is the next Big White Hope then they don't know boxing.He's got a fair jab but couldn't punch his way out of a paper bag.He reminds me of Jack Bodell,the Swadlincote Swineherd from the '60's.Incidently,why does Fury keep flicking his head back to get rid of non existence hair in his eyes?McDermott is just a good,honest journeyman who won't get any better than he is now.Both of them could do with getting rid of some'condition' for their next fight.

yea agree commentry not the best!...but fair play to Dunne for stepping up and fighting this guy....no body else would step up and fight him....he had to wait at for well over a year for someone to fight him, with other champions just avoiding him..... Poonsawat is a great fighter and Dunne admitted it, he is a very hard hitter, the hardest in this divison if you ask me. Fair play to Poonsawat, not easy going to the Point in Dublin, has to be one of the most intimadating atmospheres around, but not faze him one bit. Agree Thai media should be giving this guy much more attention and credit.

Poonsawat was reminiscent of a pocket size Roberto Duran in his prime.After the first round,which Dunne took,you could see Poonsawat grow in confidence because he knew that he could take Dunne's best shots.The way he cut of Dunne's escape routes was typical Duran.
