webfact Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 PM compares Srisaket to Pacquaio By The Nation BANGKOK: -- Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha labelled new World Boxing Council super-flyweight champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai the "Thai Pacquaio" when they met at the Government House on Tuesday. The compliment was a reference to Filipino boxing great Manny Pacquaio. The premier blessed Srisaket in the hope he remains champion for a long time. Srisaket returned to Thailand last week after he captured the imagination of Thais with his historic win over previously-unbeaten Roman Gonzalez at Madison Square Garden in New York. Srisaket also met with Sports Minister Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul on Tuesday.

Just1Voice Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 That's like comparing a field work horse to a Kentucky Derby winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idman Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 And when he gets his arse handed to himself in the rematch will the General Premier be so supportive???? His opponent seriously underestimated him and payed the price for his folly. Next bout, watch out.Sent from my SM-T805 using Thaivisa Connect mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 2 hours ago, webfact said: The premier blessed Srisaket Curious. Is it common or meaningful for a Buddhist layperson (vs. a monk or abbot) to bless people? Or did Prayut just elevate his own importance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
