Ex-champ Yodsanan Sor Nanthachai returns
By Scott Mallon

It’s been three long years since Thailand’s Yodsanan Sor Nanthachai (55-3-1, 44 KOs) lost his WBA super featherweight title to Vicente Mosquera (24-2-1, 12 KOs) in Madison Square Garden. In all-out slugfest that saw Sor Nanthachai hit the deck three times and Mosquera once. Sor Nanthachai, also known as Yodsanan 3K Battery and Yodsanan Sithyodtong, proved he had a granite chin, while Mosquera proved he deserved to be at the top of the heap. Mosquera went on to hold the title for just over a year before suffering a tenth round knockout at the hands of Edwin Valero. He has been inactive since then. Sor Nanthachai has racked up eleven straight victories since the loss to Mosquera, and on Friday, in Pattaya, Thailand, he’ll face his toughest opponent in years when he goes up against Jimrex Jaca (28-4-3, 13 KOs) of the Philippines in a lightweight battle.
