Thailand’s Phumiritdet Chonlathondamrongkun (13-1, 12 KOs) captured the vacant IBF Asia Oceania lightweight championship when he forced a fourth round stoppage of Filipino Richard Bulacan (8-2, 6 KOs) on Wednesday at Stadium Nine in Samutprakarn, Thailand. Referee Kriengsak Thonghong crowned Choniathondamrongkun at 2:52.
Thailand’s IBF promoter Jimmy Chaichotchuang said “Chonlathondamrongkun is a young prospect who comes from the Hill Tribe of Thailand. The 135 pound division has many great champions and Chonlathondamrongkun will be ready to fight them in the future.”
In a flyweight bout, Nanthanong Thongchai (9-0-1, 7 KOs) scored a stoppage over Wisitsak Saikaew (7-15-1, 6 KOs) in a scheduled six round contest. Referee Jatuchai Champhom crowned Thongchai in round one.
Australian 154-pounder Troy Omeley (12-3, 3 KOs) scored a knockout over Anirut Nerndee (4-11-1, 3 KOs) in round one of a scheduled six round contest. Referee Cherdchai Sriat crowned Omeley at 2:17.
Female 108-pound prospect Nillada Meekon (3-0, 2 KOs) scored a knockout over Tanyarak Gokbungkhla (1-2). Referee Sanong Uomim crowned Meekan in round three of a scheduled six round bout.

I would have quit if I was the fighter announcer or commentator!!
I mean c’mon, give him a nickname or something. It looks like someone dozed off on the keyboard then woke up and typed Victorious
I’m looking forward to the fans trying to fit that name to the ‘seven nation army’ melody
A scrabble board’s wet dream.
Ring names, please…really.
I wanted to see the undercard fighter “abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz”. Something about his name I like.
Chonlathongdamrongkun is literally the biggest name in boxing
Just call him Chon the Tai and we have two Chons
We have to help the world out on this one. I submit Chonlat “the dragon” Phumri.
I hope Phumiritdet Chonlathondamrongkun will become a world star. Just to hear the ring announcer approaching his name will be worth the $$.
