Thai promoter Songchai Ratanasuban predicts a bright future for WBO Asia Pacific Youth bantamweight champion Pungluang Sor Singyu.
Songchai said he “dares to guarantee” that Pungluang who beat Filipino challenger Elmar Francisco earlier this month to retain the WBO youth title is destined for bigger things.
Pangluang won the title last year when he knocked out Jilo Merlin of the Philippines in the first round .
Thai media reported that Pungkluang quickly jumped on Merlin and destroyed the Filipino with a solid left hook followed by a hard right that sent him crashing to the canvas flat on h is back to be counted out almost midway in the opening round.
Pungkluang who lost his WBC Youth title in a controversial decision to Stephane Jamoye last May 9 is reportedly targeting the WBO bantamweight crown following his one round annihilation of Merlin.
Songchai said he has been observing Pungluang and found that the 21-year-old pugilist has many talents including the punch that is “naturally powerful”.
The Thai promoter said Pungluang would “go very far in the international boxing ring”, and predicted the boxer would move up in the WBO rankings where he is currently at No. 9.
Songchai plans to push the Ratchaburi native for greatness and said boxing fans would not be disappointed.
