Remarks: When this reporter visited Korea to cover a card on January
30, I heard that a Korean ex-amateur prospect named SUNGROK CHOI scored
a first round KO win over this Chokchai 3K-Battery (though the WBC still
spells his name as Chokchai Chokviwat) in January. This reporter will
contact Mr. Eunsang Cho, my correspondent of Korea, and confirm the date
and fight place. Mr. Cho, please reply soon, puttakhamida (please in
the Korean language).
