Max Ultimate fight January 22nd, 2017

There was something in the air last night at Max Ultimate. The crowd was electric and the fights were action packed. The storm of bouts pitted 7 foreign fighters against 7 Thai opponents. Boxers from Japan, Russia, China, Norway, the USA, and Laos stood in the ring against Thailand.

The night’s action began with Palangpetch Tor. Tor. Kudnamasai versus Kaito Gibu from Japan.

The Japanese fighter came to the stadium via Namsaknoi’s gym in southern Thailand and he came with a fierce warrior spirit. Palangpetch was able to cut him in the 2nd round twice, once across the bridge of the nose and again on the corner of the eye. Gibu was undeterred and marched forward into the 3rd round resulting in a draw for both fighters. Given their exciting performance the 50kg boxers were both awarded a 5,000 baht bonus.

The second bout of the evening at 62kg saw the Russian Alaverdi Ramazanov battle Kittasak Nantipatkhonsong. The tall Russian was able to knockdown his Thai opponent twice in two consecutive rounds. Kittasak had real difficulties dealing with the height advantage of the Russian but lept forward throughout the three round bout. Kittasak’s dedication to the bout won him a 10,000 baht super bonus while Ramazanov took home the win and a 5,000 baht bonus.

China battled Thailand in the third bout of the evening with Yodkaowang Por Muangpetch duking it out with Zhou Jiao. The Chinese boxer had knee problems after the first round and was shaking it out his injury didn’t stop him from delivering hard shots against Yodkaowang but the Thai boxer was resilient and took the judge’s decision.

Kunhiro Teruya from Japan had his work set out for him against the tough Petchsamart Kor Glanboot. The bout can be summed easily in one word: WAR! Petchsamart’s never say die attitude gained him the win along with a super bonus.

In the evening’s prelude to the main event crowd favorite Boonmark Petchasira took on Nicklas Kristiansen from Norway. Nicklas started strong pivoting to the side and unleashing the leather in beautiful combinations but the steam engine that was Boonmark gained momentum in the 2nd and 3rd. The Thai fighter began to walk down Nicklas spearing in the knees. Both fighters were awarded bonuses but only Boonmark got the win.

The main event of the evening saw Burutlek Petchyindee Academy rematch Warren Stavone from Chicago Illinois. The always entertaining Warren had a hard time dealing with the Thai fighter’s activity in the first and second but was able to take the third. However, Burutlek was the one that gained the victory.

Petchchakat Chor Chanatip battled against Singtotong Sor Kunlawong from Laos in the evening’s final battle. The more technical Thai figher was strong in the opening round but started to fade under the gun ho spirit of the Laoation boxer. Both fighters were given bonuses and Singtotong snatched the win!
