Kiattaweesuk tops Otieno IBF #7 bantamweight Thantong Kiattaweesuk (21-0, 14 KOs) outscored Nick Otieno (21-5, 9 KOs) of Kenya over twelve rounds at Jomburg, Ratchaburi, Thailand on Friday. Scores were 118-110, 119-109, 119-109. This was a good win for Kiataweesuk as the Kenyan boxer had been in the ring with well credentialed opponents including a twelve round decision loss to Russian Alexander Bakhtin in 2010. Promoter Jimmy Chaichotchuang said Thantong looked good today and we are now after a shot at Joseph Agbeko who has just regained the title from Yohnny Perez. Kiattaweesuk is now rated IBF#7 so he is in good position. Otieno holds a win over world rated Rexon Flores in 2008 but he was easily defated by Kiattweesuk. In the main support, flyweight Rusalee samoh (10-3-2, 4 KOs) was held to a eight round draw by Edwin Tumbaga (11-16-4, 6 KOs). Mini-flyweight Samart Sithsaithong edged Fahlan Sakkreerin Jr over four rounds. Promoter Jimmy Chaichotchuang. Televised throughout Thailand on Channel Seven.
