Background[]

Mr

Medgoen's encounter with Mr. Sakaguchi.

Medgoen's daughter, Maria, was sick and on the brink of death. He didn't have enough money to pay for medical attention. He was approached by Mr. Sakaguchi, who offered Medgoen a lot of money to work for him, with a task to go a full ten rounds against the OPBF featherweight champion, Miyata Ichirō. With the need for money to cure his daughter, Medgoen accepted without a second thought.[4]

A Passing Point Arc[]

Miyata defeating Medgoen

Medgeon being defeated with a Cross Counter.

When it was time for his match against the OPBF featherweight champion, Miyata Ichirō, Medgoen arrived to the ring at the Yokohama Arena. When the match began, Medgoen stayed completely on the defensive, not attempting to hit Miyata even once until the fifth round, where, after his guard broke, he threw a short left hook, which hit Miyata's guard. After Medgoen retreated, Miyata followed and began an in-fight. Medgoen, realising Miyata was doing risky in-fighting even though he could safely win with just out-boxing, decided to fight back as he felt Miyata's fists were telling him to fight like a man. Medgoen threw short left and right hook combinations on Miyata's block. Medgoen's attacks were starting to get countered, and he almost fell before catching himself. Medgoen tried to attack Miyata with a straight, however, he got hit by a Cross Counter, causing him to fall. After getting up, Medgoen charged for an attack again before being knocked down by a stronger Cross Counter. The referee quickly stopped the match, resulting in Medgoen's loss. Before being taken out of the ring on a stretcher, Medgoen told Miyata "อย่าแพ้" (yaa phae) which means "don't lose" in Thai.
