March 29th 2024-Max Muaythai Stadium, Pattaya Phongsaphon Panyakum (22-2, 11) vs Guangheng Luan (3-5-1) Late last month Thai hopeful Phongsaphon Panyakum [พงษพล ปัญญาคำ] faced off with Chinese fighter Guangheng Luan, with the men clashing on an NKL show in Pattaya, with the men clashing for the Asian Boxing Federation Super Bantamweight title. On paper this was a total mismatch, but Luan had previously proven his toughness, by going the 6 round distance with former 2-time WBC Super Flyweight champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai just a few weeks earlier.

Coming in to this Yook had lost his previous 3 bouts, but was known for being heavy handed, especially early in fights. Notably he had been out of the ring since December 2021. Han on the other hand had won his previous 2 bouts, following a loss in 2022 to American fighter Marcell Davidson. March 16th 2024-Swiss Grand Hotel, Seoul Back on March 16th Young Won Huh and Young In Kim put on a show in Seoul. The card was packed with domestic bouts, including 3 South Korean title bouts and a WIBA title bout. The show was broadcast on tvN and has now been uploaded in full for fans who missed it.

In March 2024 the two men rematched, with Kim looking to repeat his win over his older for, and Shim looking to avenge his debut loss, with the men clashing in a 4 rounder in Seoul. March 16th 2024-Swiss Grand Hotel, Seoul Jae Wook Jung (2-1, 1) vs Joon Young Park (0-1) Earlier this month Seoul played host to a debutant clash between Jae Wook Jun and Joon Young Park, who clashed in a 4 rounder at Lightweight. The 19 year old Jung had debuted in February 2023 and was his 4th bout in a little over a year. As for Park, this was his first bout since being stopped in his debut in November 2023. March 24th 2024-Gwanakgu Hall, Seoul Yoon Tak (4-0, 4) Vs Hyung Shin Chae (4-1, 1) This past weekend fight fans in Seoul had the chance to see a new KBM champion being crowned at 140lbs as the unbeaten and hard hitting Yoon Tak [탁윤] clashed with the once beaten Hyung Shin Chae [채형신]. The bout, scheduled for 10 rounds, was expected to be a very competitive and interesting bout, pitting the power of Tak, who had notably stopped Japan's Kenshin Kidoguchi last October, against the skills of Chae. As with many bouts we see from Korea, this was highly entertaining, with blood spilled, bombs thrown, and some huge shots landed. March 24th 2024-Gwanakgu Hall, Seoul Dae Hoon Kim (2-0, 1) vs Gurpal Singh (1-4) This past weekend Korean prospect Dae Hoon Kim took part in his first scheduled 6 rounder, as he clashed with limited Indian fighter Gurpal Singh in Seoul. The promising Kim had debuted in Japan, in 2022, and had notched his first win at home a few months later, but had sadly been out of the ring for over a year coming into this bout. As for Singh this was actually his 4th bout in Korea, though he had been stopped in the previous 3 and had shown little in the way of actually being a real test, even at the lowest levels of the Korean domestic scene. March 24th 2024-Gwanakgu Hall, Seoul Hyun Jin Moon (4-0-1, 4) vs Eun Sang Han (2-0) This past weekend fight fans saw the hard hitting and unbeaten Hyun Jin Moon return to the ring for the first time since 2019, as he took on fellow unbeaten Eun Sang Han in a bout scheduled for 6 rounds in Seoul. The hard hitting Moon had debuted in 2018 and had his first 5 bouts in around 15 months, before his lengthy break from the sport. As for Han this was his third bout in 11 months, with him only debuting last April. March 24th 2024-Gwanakgu Hall, Seoul Jargal Otgonjargal (0-0) vs Baljeet Singh (2-2) This past weekend fight fans had the chance to see former Mongolian amateur standout Jargal Otgonjargal make his professional debut, as he took on Indian fighter Baljeet Singh in Seoul, in a scheduled 6 rounder. Sadly, at the age of 33, Otgonjargal is probably too old to make a major impact on the professional ranks, but given his extensive amateur background, and clear ability, there is a chance we could see him mixing in and around the Oriental title scene, if his team are willing to fast track him. On this performance there is a lot to like about him, though in fairness Singh was more of a sacrificial lamb than a real test the hard hitting Mongolian. March 24th 2024 - Gwanakgu Hall, Seoul Jin Ha Kim (0-0) vs Byung Do Park (0-0) This past weekend Korean fighters Jin Ha Kim and Byung Do Park clashed in a scheduled 4 rounder at Light Heavyweight, a division that really isn't deep in Asia. As with many all novice bouts their is something of a lack of natural ability and trained skills, especially defensively, but that left the door open for us to see a genuinely brutal and frightening KO that is well worth watching the fight to see. |
