The Menayothin Method

 In a  cliffhanger at Nakhon Sawan, Thailand, the World Boxing Council minimum champion, Thai Wanheng Menayothin, defeated Filipino Pedro Taduran by unanimous decision, retaining his belt for the tenth time, and simultaneously surpassing the fifty nil record of the legendary Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Menayothin raised his right arm aloft, celebrating the new record of 51-0, with 18 knockouts, beating the record of Floyd Mayweather Jr (50-0) and equaling the Mexican Ricardo “Finito” Lopez (51-0-1).

Wanheng, who held more than 200 fights as an amateur, achieved his first major accolade at 21 years old, when he won the WBC World Youth title and then defended it eight times. A palpable indication of the extraordinary potential, which gathered pace, due to sensible graduation.

The WBC World Youth title, whose age limit is 23 years 11 months, is specifically designed for fighters who have taken the big step from amateur to professionalism.  It`s an astute evolutionary incentive. And Menayothin is one of the very finest examples of its nurturing purpose, as from seedling and then sapling origin he seasoned into a teak hard fighter and then an Absolute World Champion, who`s made history.
There’s a long list of world champions, who cut their teeth as WBC World Youth champions:
Samuel Peter, Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, Chad Dawson, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Timothy Bradley, Danny Garcia, Juan Diaz, Humberto Soto, Leo Santa Cruz, Daniel Ponce De Leon, Brian Viloria, Jorge Arce, among others.
For the WBC, Wanheng, whose birth name is Chayaphon Moonsri, is a brilliant fighter, becoming an exemplary champion inside and outside the ring.
Congratulations Wanheng Menayothin!
