Saman Kamsing explained that the men's boxing team fell short in every bout at the Asian Games, leaving Thailand without a medal for the first time since 1954. He said the current training regimen emphasizes long technical drills in the gym with little running, sparring, or bag work, which builds skill but not endurance. According to Kamsing, the successful era under Juan Fontaneiel balanced short technical sessions with intense running, speed punching on bags, and repeated rounds, producing many Olympic medalists. He added that the women's squad still has a chance through Natticha Jongprongklang, who fights in a Cuban style and retains her energy, but the men's athletes tire out in the final moments of their bouts. Kamsing urged the boxing association to overhaul its training program and revive the proven Fontaneiel system to regain competitiveness for future Olympics.
