JOMTHONG STOPS SUGIZAKI


February 23, 2011

TOKYO, JAPAN

Unbeaten Thailander, former WBC Muaythai champ Jomthong Chuwattana (3-0, 3 KOs), 129.25, stunned the audience as he displayed devastating southpaw lefts in dismantling Japanese #7 super-feather Yuya Sugizaki (14-6-1, 5 KOs), 130, twice en route to an impressive TKO win at 2:47 of the third round in a scheduled eight on Wednesday in Tokyo, Japan.

The 21-year-old OPBF#15 130-pounder looked too strong and sharp for the game Japanese, dropping him with a smashing left with precision and power midway in the second. The tall, stylish and muscular Thailander repeated a same vicious shot to the button and had Sugizaki sprawling to the deck to prompt the referee Fukuchifs intervention.

Jomthong reportedly started his Muaythai career at the age of nine, quickly gained the Rajadamnern stadiumfs Muaythai belt at fifteen and gained the thrones in the bantam and feather categories. The precocious genius of Muaythai then got into a slump, having a fluctuating career of wins and losses. He recently once acquired the WBC Muaythai belt, and now keeps campaigning both in Muaythai and international-styled games. Should he pursue his new career in the international boxing, he may have a potential to become a second Saengsak Muangsurin who captured the world belt in his third pro bout after his excellent Muaythai records.

Promoter: Be Tight Promotions.
