There was only one thing that many people who involved with sports were not happy with the outgoing minister. It was the idea to cut the prize rewards for athletes in every competitions. No mention about the conflicts with Olympic Thai committee and Sports Association of Thailand board.He was trying to support boxing by supporting budget but it could be done only few times before everything turns to normal as it never happened. It was a good example when Songchai Rattanasuban decided to change his boxing programme amid the concern of the possibility to violate the election law. |

The Olympic qualification first round is about to start on 25 January through 4 Febuary. Even though Thailand is the host country but should be careful as other country's boxers are developed their skills. But the most interesting was Filipino boxers who created scandals during last year's Asean Games. News became bad joke when Virat Vachirarattanawong of Phetyindee Boxing immediately deny he would joined with Songchai Rattanasuban for the new and third boxing stadium. It is not easy to have the third standard stadium because the two stadium - Rajadamneun and Lumpinee who have been supported by fans for more than five decades still have problems and could not return to glaorious days as in the past. Thai fans will keep watching wheather the country will have new champions or not while Phetyindee Boxing will start by supporting Pongsaklek Kratingdang Gym to challenge Neito Deisuke of Japan in March in Tokyo. While Denkaosan Kratingdang Gym will return to Japan for another fight with old rival, Takefumi Sakata. Two Muaythai fights had passed, Thai boxer, Kaoklai Kannorasing, was done well in the fight in South Korea, beating host boxer easily while Chaovalit Joggy Gym disappointed the fans losing to Bruce Macy of Australia by points in Hong Kong. Attachai Fairtex and Danthai Singmanas will be fight in the third Muaythai fight held in France. Thailand became famous for South Korean boxers come for training. The K-1 2007 champion Su Kwan Lee was training hard before the fight against Eric Kaewsamrit of Holland in Bangkok's Lumpinee stadium. |
