Eurgh man I'm bored and I've ended up looking at random profiles on boxrec.com and some how come across Saddam Kietyongyuth. So what's so interesting about Saddam? Well not only is there a man from Thailand called Saddam but his nickname is ever so comically “Da Bomb”. Yes This is Saddam “Da Bomb” Kietyongyuth, almost as good as Rich “Super” Power.
So what else has happened?
Well we've had a couple of good weekends of boxing so lets look at things that have been highlights of the last month:
6th March
Devon Alexander beat Juan Urango
Vic Darchinyan got to test Rodrigo Guerrero (repeatedly)
Saul Alvarez won in impressive fashion
13th March
Alexander Povetkin, Kubrat Pulev and Alexander Frenkel all carried on their unbeaten runs
Manny Pacquiao used Joshua Clottey's arms as a heavy bag
Sam Soliman picked up some fringe title at Middleweight
20th March
Wladimir Klitschko jabbed the life out of Eddie Chambers before stopping him with seconds left
Odlanier Solis has gotten even fatter whilst Carl Drummond Davis has effectively quit
Fernando Angulo (who had controversially lost 2 weeks earlier to Lenny Zappa) stops a journeyman
27th March
Unbeaten Austrian Ali Chusseinov is somehow still fighting (more about him later)
Yuriorkis Gamboa defends his title in Germany
Pongsaklek Wonjongkam defeats Koki Kameda
Erik Morales comes out of retirement
Arthur Abraham tries to behead a downed Andre Dirrell and gets DQ'd for trying it
Marcos Maidana gets even further from fighter Amir Khan by stopping unbeaten Victor Cayo
Joan Guzman picks up a heavyweight diet and comes in at 144 for a Lightweight way in before beating Ali Funeka
Jorge Linares returns for the first time since losing to Juan Carlos Salgado and wins a majority decision
So that's March.
Chusseinov for those wondering why he's been mentioned is an unbeaten Austrian who is now 20 years old, his record looks pretty with 19 wins and 0 losses though he does have 2 No Contests. It turns out that he was banned for a drug offence and continued fighting during the ban. Some how despite having a year ban he would fight 8 times during the year (with only one of them being called a no contest). I don't advocate boycotts but this time I will make an exception. Ali Chusseinov isn't worthy of your attention.
