The fight place was BANGKOK, unless otherwise designated.

Dec. 3
WBF super-feather champ Kongdee Meekunaparp, 47-15-1, 27 KOs (this record is one after his victory, from here on), chalked up a TKO win over Withayanoi Usampan in 3.
(12-3-99)

Dec. 10
SUPANBURI--WBF super-bantam champ Somsak Sithchachawan, 17-1-1-1NC, 14 KOs, kept his title on a 3rd round technical draw with unknown Japanese Haruhiko Kawai in a scheduled 12.

(12-10-99)

Dec. 15
WBC #18 ranked feather Wate Singwangcha, 53-1, 37 KOs, decisioned Filipino Edwin Gastador over 10. It seems strange that a boxer with such a fantastic record hasn't become sensational in Asia. We'll watch this boxer's quality and quality of his oppositions as well.

WBC #28 feather Roongsurin Lookklongchan, 25-5, 15 KOs, outscored Filipino Francis Velasquez over 10.

Attention to the GAB, KBC and TBC: The aforementioned Filipino loser Francis Velasquez fought again in Korea just 3 days after this bout, on Dec. 18, and was knocked out by Korean super-light champ Jeungbeum Kim in the second round. (in Daejeun, Korea) In Japan, a boxer who went the distance regardless of a win or a loss is not allowed to fight again in 14 days. This reporter does not have any knowledge in the domestic rules and regulations of the Philippines, but you are hoped to check whether Francis Velesquez filed the contracts of these two fights abroad to the GAB prior to his departure.

Napaporn Kiatichokechai, 2-0, 2 KOs, stopped former WBU fly champ Yodechingchai Sorntorngym in 5.
(12-15-99)

Dec. 17
Thailand's Meiji CP-Gym, 4-1, 3 KOs, acquired the vacant PABA flyweight title by scoring a 4th round KO over Zosimo Delgado, GAB #4 ranked fly, in a scheduled 12.

WBA #4 ranked bantam Saohin Srithaicondo, 27-8, 19 KOs, made a comeback after his grueling battle with Paulie Ayala in his quest for the WBA throne, and demolished a Filipino named Leopordo Ramirez, unranked by the GAB, in 4.

Ex-WBA minimum champ Chana Porpaoin, currently ranked #5 by the WBA, 41-1-1, 15 KOs, fought (or not fought) to a technical draw with Filipino Gerry Rosales in the opening canto.

TBC #2 ranked super-fly, Pornsawan 3K-Battery, 18-0, 4 KOs, outscored Felix Marfa over 10.

TBC #1 minimum Prabpram Klongpachon, 23-4, 16 KOs, decisioned unranked compatriot Somtawin Singwangcha over 6.
(12-17-99)

Dec. 18
SURAT THANI-Denkaosaen Kratingdaeng-gym, 10-0, 3 KOs, kept his PABA (Pan Asian Boxing Association) fly title by finishing Kenyan Issa Nassy in 4.

TBC #1 ranked super light Chodchoi 13-Rientowar, 3-0, 1 KO, outscored ex-Thai champ Singnum Yamakigym over 6.

Tanuin Kengkarung, 2-0, no KO, defeated Thai super-bantam champ Wichit Chuwatana in a non-title 6.

Remarks: Can you believe a novice with just one fight beat an experienced national champ? It's Thailand that it is possible, since there are great many talented youngsters with their Thai (national kick-boixng) experience since childhood.

Prab Porpaoin, 1-1, no KO, outpointed unknown Japanese Masakazu Nomura over 6.
(12-18-99)

Dec. 22
Thai super-fly champ Saencharoen Mahasapcondo, 4-0-1, 2 KOs, kept his national title as he drew with TBC #1 ranked super-fly Hino Kiat-tor-bor-Ubon in 10.
(12-22-99)

Dec. 24
Faprakob Rakkiatgym, ex-WBF bantam champ, acquired the IBF intercontinental super-bantam title by outpointing Indoneisan Andrian Kaspari over 12.

WBF bantam champ Fasan 3K-Battery, 26-6, 13 KOs, decisioned a Filipino named Rex Darling over 10.
(12-24-99)

Dec. 25
WBA #4 ranked light fly Pongsaklek Nakorntorn-Parkview, 30-2, 17 KOs, scored an important KO win over WBC #6 ranked light fly Ritichai Kiatprapas in the third round. Please take note of this significant result.

Message to record-keepers and Mr. Frank Quill: This loser is listed up in the WBC ratings as Ridchichai Kiatprabhas; Don't worry about this dual spelling! If you are worried about such ambiguity, you cannot appreciate Thai results. Please utilize your imagination and analogy, por favor.

Unranked by the TBC, Dutchboy Singwangcha, 23-2, 10 KOs, outscored Filipino Max Barro over 10.

Also unranked by the TBC, Deddamrong Por Muangsurin, 5-0, 4 KOs, knocked out Filipino Alan Morre in 7.
(12-25-99)

These results were supplied by my dearest correspondent, Mr. Ryuichi Kotani, who also serves as correspondent of Japan Boxing Magazine for many years. He was born in Thailand as his father was doing his business there, returned to Japan for years to graduate from a university here and then returned to Bangkok to succeed his father's business that deals with construction materials. This reporter, Joe Koizumi, will follow Mr. Kotani's spelling of Thai boxers, in principle, as the former has not enough time to check various spellings of the TBC, WBC and WBA, plus Mr. Kotani's, Thai English papers Nation's and Bangkok Post's. Therefore, yours truly will try to specify Thai boxers' ratings of either TBC, WBC or WBA, etc. so you, worldwide record-keepers, will recognize one after another.

Asia is a developing area in the world, and it is common that a boxer with a certain nationality travels to fight with an incredibly short interval from one country to another. From this year on, this reporter will try to cover all area of Japan, Korea, Philippines and Thailand by himself in order to detect such dangerous cases to avert ring accidents.

If there should happen to be any bogus boxer who fight under another boxers' name, this reporter will promptly correct his previous report to point out such a disgraceful case.
