Former two-time WBC champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai (50-5-1, 43 KOs) destroyed former WBA minimumweight ruler Kwanthai Sithmorseng (50-8-1, 27 KOs) in a non-title super flyweight fight on Saturday night at Workpoint Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. Srisaket simply walked through Sithmorseng for three brutally one-sided rounds, finally battering him to the canvas in round three. Sithmorseng finished the round, but couldn’t continue after the break.
Rungvisai stated afterward, “I hope Estrada wins (against Chocolatito) because we have unfinished business.”
In other action…
WBC #6 super bantamweight “Rock Man” Chainoi Worawut (14-0-1, 12 KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over former two-time WBO bantamweight champion Pungluang Sor Singyu (54-9, 36 KOs), who missed weight by five pounds. Scores were 97-93, 98-92, 98-92.
WBC Asia super flyweight champion Phongsaphon Panyakum (12-1, 6 KOs) outscored Karoon Jarupainlerd (44-11, 20 KOs) over ten rounds by scores of 98-92, 97-93, 98-92.
Flyweight Danai Ngiabphulhiew (8-2, 4 KOs) scored a third round KO over Wichet Sengprakhon (11-10, 6 KOs). Ngiabphulhiew dropped Sengprakhon once in round two and twice in round three to end it. Time was 1:55
So a 115 pound boxer beat the crap out of a 105 pound boxer…it’s like a super middle beating a welter.
More like a bantamweight beating a flyweight. Every three pounds has a “division” now.
Rungvisai had an easy time tonight. He looked like he was holding back on his punches in the first couple of rounds, probably to get some rounds in. However, once he stepped up the pace and started punching harder, it was over for Sithmorseng . He was wise to stay in his corner at the beginning of the 4th round.
It was a tuneup fight for Rungvisai. Sithmorseng was just too small for him and didn’t have anything to keep Rungvisai off him.
I look forward to seeing Rungvisai against the winner of the Estrada-Chocolatito rematch. He could beat either one of them on any given night. He does seem to have Chocolatito’s number. Chocolatito was overwhelmed by the power of Rungvisai in their rematch.
