Former world rated Fahsai Sakkreerin (31-2, 16 KOs) chopped down Roel Laguna ( 11-5-2, 7 KOs) of the Philippines in six action rounds in a nationally televised scheduled twelve round bout with the IBF Pan Pacific 130 pound title up for grabs at the Thonburi University, Bangkok, Thailand on Wednesday. Sakkreerin was at his best as he dropped the tough Filipino with a perfectly delivered left hook to the jaw in round two. Laguna was in trouble again in round four after the Thai connected with a right hand, left hook combination to the head. In round five an accidental head clash left Laguna with a cut over his left eye. In round six Laguna was in trouble on the ropes and could not defend himself when referee Sanong Au Im stopped the contest at 45 seconds of the round.
        Jimmy Chaichotchuang said, “This was a good win for Sakkreerin. Laguna gave WBC #1 Terdsak Jangaeng a very tough fight and now I am sure Sakkreerin would defeat Jandaeng. I would like to challenge Terdsak Jandaeng to fight Fahsai Sakkreerin. Filipino boxing manager, Aljoe Jaro is in Bangkok and has offered to have Bernabe Concepcion fight Sakkreerin. I will take that fight also.” Chaichotchuang concluded, “I want to thank English trainer Rian Munton who now trains Fahsai – he has improved Sakkreerin 150%.”

        In other bouts 122 pounder Mike “Tyson” Tawatchai (19-0-1, 13 KOs) clearly outscored Elmer Francisco (11-13-1, 3 KOs) over six rounds. The aggressive Tawatchai outworked Francisco connecting with solid head and body punches. The Filipino boxed well on the back move but was behind on the punch count. Flyweight Rusalee Samoh (11-3-2, 5 KOs) was impressive in stopping Ricardo Andante (7-3, 4 KOs) of the Philippines in round three. Andante was down twice in round three and the referee crowned Samoh at 2:30.

        Lightweight Patomchoke Patompothong (10-1-1, 6 KOs) dropped Hotta Dejaam in round two with a body shot and the referee counted him out.

        Mini flyweight Fahlan “Junior” Sakkreerin (4-1, 2 KOs) won a clear four round decision over Saengpet Pisanuthep. Sakkreerin is the son of former IBF mini flyweight world champion Fahlan Sakkerrin, Sr.
