Two-time world title challenger and WBC #1 Jason “Mayhem” Moloney (25-2, 19 KOs) scored a twelve round unanimous decision over WBC #2 Nawaphon Kaikanha (56-2-1, 46 KOs) in a WBC bantamweight final eliminator which served as the Haney-Kambosos co-feature on Saturday night (Sunday afternoon local time) at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia. The aggressive Kaikanha pressed the action and gave Moloney all he could handle. Hometown hero Moloney refused to trade and used a stick and move strategy to earn a 118-110, 118-110, 119-109.

  • Anyone paying for that Wilder fight? If so will you post the round action? I can’t justify 80.00 for that fight

  • Andrew Moloney is a punk. He should have been disqualified. If this was fought in the USA, he would have been disqualified.
