Mérida.- El campeón mundial interino de peso superpluma de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB), y púgil estelar de Max Boxing, Miguel “Alacrán” Berchelt, defenderá por vez primera su corona el 16 de julio próximo en el Estado de México, donde enfrentará al muy experimentado y peligroso barretero tailandés Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo en una función promovida por Zánfer y que será transmitida por Azteca 7 a todo México y el mundo.
El presidente de Max Boxing y apoderado de Berchelt, Mario Abraham Xacur, informó que Berchelt está listo para hacer en la localidad de Los Reyes la Paz la primera defensa del título que ganó en Mérida el 12 de marzo pasado ante el británico George Jupp y la hará ante un rival que le dobla en experiencia con un récord de 63 peleas, 61 de ellas ganadas, 41 por la vía del nocaut.
En toda esa cantidad de peleas, el tailandés Piriyapinyo solo ha perdido en dos ocasiones, y nunca ha sabido lo que es ser noqueado. Sus dos únicas derrotas fueron ante el duradero ex monarca mundial indonesio Chris John, quien lo venció por decisión en Singapur y, ni más ni menos, que ante el actual monarca mundial regular de los superplumas de la OMB, Vasyl Lomachenko que lo superó por esa misma vía en Macao, China.
Por cierto, el tailandés es una de las dos víctimas de Lomachenko que no han sucumbido ante él por la vía del sueño, lo que confirmó no solo su nivel, sino su gran resistencia y aguante.
Después de su pelea con Lomachenko, ha hilvanado una racha de nueve triunfos, ocho de ellos por la vía del nocaut.
Berchelt, por su lado, se prepara desde hace varios días en la Ciudad de México, bajo la supervisión de su entrenador, Alfredo Caballero, quien lo está dejando en el estado necesario para esa pelea.
El monarca mundial interino realiza sesión de guantes con diversos sparrings y un trabajo necesario para adaptarse a la altura de la localidad de Los Reyes La Paz, donde la velada ha sido programada.
Berchelt tiene una marca de 30 peleas, de las cuales ha ganado 29, 26 antes del límite. Será la primera ocasión en la que combata en el centro del país y en el Estado de México, aunque en su momento entrenó de manera formal en esa entidad, en la localidad de Jiquipilco, cuando se sumó al equipo de trabajo de Caballero en 2014.

Moments ago at the Cotai Arena in Macau, China, Vasyl Lomachenko successfully defended his WBO featherweight title, dominating Cholatarn Piriyapinyo en route to an easy unanimous decision. Lomachenko got off to a fast start, peppering Piriyapinyo with quick jabs and right hands. Despite suffering a hand injury that forced him to fight nearly half of the match with just one hand, Lomachenko easily cruised to victory.

WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and WBO jr welterweight champion Chris Algieri faced off on Wednesday in advance of their “Clash of Champions” on Saturday night at the Cotai Arena inside the Venetian Macau.
Manny Pacquiao: I believe that it’s going to be an exciting fight. We did our best in training and we’ve seen from the old days the speed, the power, the determination, the aggressiveness is back.
Chris Algieri: The talking is done. The hard work is done. The training is done. I’m not gonna say too much.. I prepared very well. I’m excited for this weekend…you don’t want to miss this.
Zou Shiming: I just realized I’m fighting someone who looks as handsome as Manny. (Kwanpichit is a Pacquiao lookalike). I’m very proud to be featured on the same card as Manny Pacquiao. Last time I was on his card, this time I might be his opponent.
Kwanpichit Onesongchaigym: We’re prepared and ready for the fight.
Vasil Lomachenko: I was here in 2008 to win a gold medal. This is a place where my childhood dreams came true.
Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo: We prepared for this fight for two months and we’re ready 100%
Jessie Vargas: I have Roy Jones Jr. He’s taken me to the next level. Team DeMarco said I get tired in the later rounds, well that’s gonna bite’m in the butt.
Antonio DeMarco: I’ve came very prepared to give a great fight for the people and for television too.

Saturday night in Macau, China, WBO featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko returns to action against experienced veteran Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo of Thailand. Lomachenko is perhaps the greatest amateur boxer in history and has already become a professional world-title holder within his first three fights.
Top Rank seems anxious to expand his visibility, and there can be few better venues for that than a Manny Pacquiao card. Piriyapinyo is an obscure opponent who no doubt came cheap since he lives much closer to Macau than a North American or European star.
This fight is all about building up Lomachenko for bigger things next year.
| Per Boxrec | Vasyl Lomachenko | Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo |
| Record: | 2-1, 1 KO | 52-1, 33 KOs |
| Height: | 5’6″ | 5’5.5″ |
| Reach: | 65″ | Unlisted |
| Weight: | 126 lbs | 126 lbs |
| Age: | 26 | 29 |
| Stance: | Southpaw | Orthodox |
| Hometown: | Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Ukraine | Chonburi, Thailand |
| Rounds: | 28 | 379 |
Obviously, Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo is a far more experienced professional than Vasyl Lomachenko. He’s fought over 50 more fights and 350 more rounds.
But the quality of fighter Lomachenko faced as an elite amateur is generally far beyond the vast majority of Piriyapinyo’s competition. Aside from a challenge against Chris John in 2012, he’s faced obscure and even low-quality opposition.

In his second fight, Lomachenko faced the tough WBO featherweight champion Orlando Salido. Salido didn’t even try to make weight and was over 140 pounds by the night of the fight. He gave Lomachenko a crash course in the rough and bruising reality of professional prizefighting, winning by split decision.
I thought Lomachenko deserved to lose that fight, but I was impressed by the fact that he got better as the fight went along and was in control for much of the latter third of the fight. He was clearly learning and implementing his new knowledge on the fly against a world championship-level opponent.
Lomachenko faced fellow unbeaten Gary Russell Jr. in his third fight, capturing the vacant WBO featherweight belt by majority decision. This time, I thought Lomachenko clearly deserved to win. It’s tough for me to see how judge Lisa Giampa scored the bout even.
At just 26 and with a world-title belt already around his waist, Lomachenko is poised to become a breakout star over the next few years. Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo would seem a decided step down in competition.
Piriyapinyo has an impressive record on paper, but he’s fought some very low-level competition. Just this year he has faced a guy who was 2-2 and another who was 1-10.
But Piriyapinyo did face Chris John in 2012. Although Piriyapinyo lost nearly every round, he did manage to rock the longtime champion in Round 7. The Thai native’s power is legitimate.
Vasyl Lomachenko is an outstanding technical boxer with extremely high ring intelligence. He does all the things one would expect from an amateur standout, such as controlling range and avoiding punches. But his ability to make tactical adjustments over the course of a 12-round fight separates him from many amateur stars.
Lomachenko has a solid chin and good punching power, two other attributes that sometimes hold back the transition from amateur star to the professional ranks.
Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo is a rugged pressure fighter. He has good power and can take a punch. He’s fought over 50 professional fights and lost just once, so winning is habit for him.
Vasyl Lomachenko has just three professional fights. Although he’s been tough, that’s still a very small base of knowledge to draw upon against an opponent who has logged as many 12-round fights as Piriyapinyo has.
Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo is a slow starter. He leaves a lot of space to get hit, especially when he opens up his own offense. Chris John was nearly able to hit him at will in 2012.
Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo is an aggressive fighter who comes forward with his head down. As a southpaw, Vasyl Lomachenko is going to need to be very careful about getting cut from a clash of heads.
Piriyapinyo started slow against Chris John. The step up to an opponent with so much speed and skill seemed to freeze him behind his guard. So I think Lomachenko should look to get off to a quick start and prevent Piriyapinyo from getting into any kind of rhythm.
Piriyapinyo’s high guard made him very vulnerable to body shots against John. Lomachenko should attack the challenger hard downstairs.
Piriyapinyo is a tough, grinding fighter who will keep looking to land a big shot for as long as he is in the fight. So Lomachenko has to avoid falling into a comfortable lull if he gets far ahead on the cards in the second half. He’s got to treat Piriyapinyo as a potential danger for every second of the fight.
Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo has decent punching power, and he should look to make Vasyl Lomachenko respect that power as quickly as possible. I think he needs to try to get off to a quicker start in this fight than he was able to do against Chris John in 2012.
Piriyapinyo attacks with a wide-open style, leaving plenty of space to get hit. He’s going to need to be resigned to taking some punishment in order to land his own shots.
Piriyapinyo allowed John to completely dictate the pace of their fight by ceding the great Indonesian champion in the battle of the jab. In this fight, I think he should resolve to work at establishing his own jab, even if that’s an area where Lomachenko clearly enjoys an advantage.
It’s a strange thing in boxing: Often the only way to really deal with a great jab is to commit to your own jab. If Piriyapinyo doesn’t try to disrupt Lomachenko’s own jab by getting off first, he’s resigning himself to being picked apart all night by a superior technician.
Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo is an obscure name to most western fans, and the only opponent he has faced who is not obscure is Chris John. Against John, Piriyapinyo was far out of his depth.
I think the Thai native is an odd choice of opponent for Lomachenko. I can only guess he’s been selected because he came cheap, not needing to fly into town a week early to adjust to the radical time-zone difference in Macau as a European or North American fighter would.
But I have to think Top Rank is supremely confident in Lomachenko’s ability to beat him. I can’t see it risking a potential star like Lomachenko against a fighter this obscure. If Lomachenko was to drop to 2-2 against a fighter almost nobody in the United States has heard of, it would be a major setback for his career.
Piriyapinyo did look to have a very good chin against Chris John, so I can see this one going the distance. But I think Lomachenko takes it by near shutout.
Lomachenko looks to be a very exciting talent. Even in defeat against Orlando Salido, he showed a lot for a guy in his second professional fight.
He could be the guy who unifies belts at featherweight. I also think he has the frame to win world titles at lightweight.

Thailand’s WBO Asia Pacific featherweight champion Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo lived up to his lofty WBC No.1 and WBO No.2 rankings to score a 6th round TKO over Filipino journeyman Randy Megrino in Thailand Wednesday.
The undefeated Piriyapinyo improved his unbeaten record to 43-0 with 26 knockouts while Megrino dropped to 12-10-2 with 7 knockouts.
WBO Asia Pacific vice president Leon Panoncillo told the Manila Standard that Chonlatarn was “very precise with his punches and dominated tough journeyman Megrino, stopping him in the sixth round.” The time was 2:39.
The Thai champion’s promoter Pariyakorn Ratanasuban in a post fight interview said that negotiations are underway for a title shot against either WBC champion Johnny Gonzalez or WBO champion Orlando Salido.
The 27 year old Piriyapinyo was coming off four successive knockout victories while the 23 year old Megrino won a majority decision in a four round bout against Gabriel Royo who hadn’t won a fight and had a 0-4 record. That fight took place last October 16.
Megrino had also previously lost by a 9th round knockout in an IBF Pan Pacific super featherweight title fight against another top Thai, Fahsai Sakkreerin on June 17, 2011.
Piriyapinyo won the vacant WBO Asia Pacific title with an 8th round TKO over Filipino Sonny Gonzales on Septremnber 15, 2010 and in his last defense won by a 4th round TKO over Arief Blader of Indonesia on January 23, 2012.
