Sueno Battles Anuchai for IBF Australasian 118 in Thailand

By Fightnews ASIA

BANGKOK, Thailand — Filipino Richardo Sueno of the beautiful City of Bacolod in the Philippines, and unbeaten former Muay Thai combatant Anuchai Donsua of Thailand successfully made weight ahead of their incoming war for the vacant IBF Australasian Bantamweight Strap set for Wednesday, July 19, at the popular Rangsit Boxing Stadium (เวทีมวยนานาชาติ) in Pathum Thaini, Kingdom of Thailand.

The Filipino Sueno came-in at 53.3 kilos, Anuchai 53.4, both looking serious and strong young, visibly in excellent shape for their crucial important battle.

They know so well that the winner decidedly advances his pro boxing career, possibly even earning a place among the top-15 in the world rankings in the always hot bantamweight division.

Undefeated in 10 fights – although without that much of a fierce opposition – the Thai Anuchai Donsua, 26, faces in Sueno his toughest opponent yet.

Far better-tested and more-experienced, Ricardo Sueno of the Elorde Gym in Manila, Philippines, is a man without fear who has gotten into the square ring to trade hard blows against some of tough men in the Land of boxing king Many Pacquiao.

Anuchai has not yet fought any name of relevance that could have enriched his boxing resume, Ricardo Sueno, yes.

In fact, Sueno, 28, feels proud that he has waged war against some outstanding names in the lowest weight-classes, such as former world title challenger Regie Suganob (13-1, 4 KO’s), Japanese IBF world-ranked tiger Taku Kuwahara (13-1, 8 KO’s), as well as former WBA world belt-holder Reymart Gaballo (26-1, 24 KO’s).

Yes, while Ricardo Sueno has loss in his rough encounters against those hard men, in the eyes of fans Ricardo battled just fine, standing on his ground, never backing away from heated trouble, indeed taking the best shots from those world-rated pumas, putting his heart, and best effort in the combat.

Therefore, might the handlers of Anuchai Donsua (10-0, 3 KO’s), have made a miscalculation by pitting their undefeated, unproven ward against the fearless, battle-tested Ricardo Sueno (12-7-4, 5 KO’s)? What do you think?

If you would need to bet your hard-earned bucks, would you go for the undefeated, but unproven man?

Or would you put your trust on the battle-tested fighter, the one who had the guts and spirit of going into war against world-ranked predators, even though losing to them?

Not sure whom to pick? Well, that is one of the beauties of boxing: anyone can win, anything can happen!

This main event fight – schedule to 10 rounds of action – scheduled for Wednesday, July 19, is a promotion of well-known Thai men of boxing Panya Prachakorn and Piyarat Wachirattanawong of the prolific boxing outfit Petchyindee Boxing Promotions (Diamond Boxing).

The televised show, live in Thailand on True4u Channel 24, is supervised by IBF Vice President Mr. Ben Keilty of Perth, Western Australia.
