To NOI,

Actually, the Fujiwara-Sittiboonlert fight took place AFTER Benny lost the decision to the Thai. Also, his fight against Nobuya Asuka was an "exibition" contrary to what his record indicates. It was in '89. Benny had't fought for 5 years, but had a weight advantage. But if the this had been an official fight, I believe he would have got a nod.

To Brian Ritchie and ercan gürgöze,

I believe Benny had been popular among the Japanese fans for what he had been doing, and the fans loved his flashy techniques . In those days, the Japan-Thailand matchups were declining in popularity, and that was the primary reason the Japanese sanctioning bodies (both the All-Japan kickboxing Federation and the Japan Kick Boxing Association) agreed to fight against the WKA in the compromised rule in order to regain the status as a spectator sport in the country. Otherwise, most Japanese fighters wouldn't have fought under the rule which prohibited elbow and knee to the head. I believe Benny did his best with his given opportunities at his given time. He was paid better for fighting the Japanese under the rule I mentioned, and was very popular. There was no need for him to fight against the Thais.
