Thailand’s new female kickboxing sensation Stamp Fairtex turned in a debut to remember as she dethroned “Killer Bee” Kai Ting Chuang at ONE: Kingdom Of Heroes, here last night.
Stamp defeated the reigning champion via unanimous decision in the co-main event to become the new ONE Kickboxing Atomweight World Champion.
During the fight, Stamp used her range and movement to outstrike her opponent throughout the five-round contest.
A flurry of strikes in the fifth round sealed the victory for Stamp, who takes home the prestigious title belt in only her first appearance on the ONE Super Series stage.
In the main of the evening, Thai boxing superstar Srisaket Sor Rungvisai sent the crowd into a rapturous chorus of cheers by clinching a unanimous decision win over Mexican challenger Iran “MagnifiKO” Diaz to retain the WBC Super Flyweight World Championship.
Banking on his heavy hands and southpaw stance, Srisaket persistently hammered the taller Diaz with hard body shots from the opening bell.
The consistent attack to the midsection paid dividends for Srisaket in the later rounds as Diaz dropped his defensive guard, prompting the Thai boxer to increase his offense that had his opponent reeling inside the ring.
In the championship rounds, Srisaket unleashed a series of power shots, but Diaz amazingly withstood the blitz of punches from the hometown hero. In the end, the three judges unanimously awarded the victory in favor of Srisaket with the scores of 119-109, 120-108 and 119-109.
