Ringside Report "The Heart Of Boxing" (1284 words)
Kingpetch, born Mana Sridokbuab in Huahin, Thailiand, was such a popular boxer, even so much that the King of Thailand attended one of his professional bouts in person.
It helped Kingpetch that Vithichai was apparently sleeping on his laurels after their last bout, something that later seemed to become an epidemic among Kingpetch's opponents.
Kingpetch has a statue of him in a park that was named after him in his native Huahin.
