Unbanned

Grasshopper — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 11:29:25 +0000

There has been talk, rumors, and more talk about the unbanning of Ot Phutang, Pich Seyha, Pich Sophan and Chey Kosal, all of whom were banned for life by the previous boxing federation president as a penalty for fighting overseas without permission. A new president, Tem Moeun, was voted in in December, and talk quickly began to surface that he would overturn the ban.

TV5 just announced that Pich Sophan will fight Mey Sopheap and Ot Phutang will face Vung Sitou next weekend. The fighters are back.

Black Dragon Kung Fu Fighting Society

Grasshopper — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:47:03 +0000

This guy was milling around TV5 on Sunday, saying he wanted to get in the ring. Chey Kosal has also been training, and rumor has it that he will be back in the ring soon, too, maybe as early as next week. Pich Seyha and his older brother Pich Sophan have been kicking around RCAF club training sessions recently as well. All four guys were suspended six months ago for fighting in Australia without the blessing of the boxing federation. The suspension ended December 31, 2009, about the same time when, perhaps coincidentally, the federation president who suspended them was voted out.
