IBF #7 jr lightweight Fahsai Sakkreerin (36-2, 20 KO’s) clearly outscored Rivo Renkung (29-11-5, 10 KO’s) of Indonesia over twelve action rounds in Bangkok , Thailand on Friday. In round one both boxers were cautious but in round two they picked up the tempo but it was Sakkreerin that continually had the better of the exchanges that visibly had the visitor in trouble. . Renkung was aggressive in all the rounds but did not have the speed or accuracy of punch to give Sakkreerion problems and was outworked in all the rounds. Sakkreerin suffered a cut eye in round three but cornerman Rian Munton controlled the cut in between rounds. Sakkreerin was cautioned by referee Sanong Au-Im in round nine for infringements. At the conclusion scores were 120-108, 119-109, 118-110.

Promoter Jimmy Chaichotchuang said, “The fight today was very good and we are proud to say channel seven is the top rating boxing channel in Thailand. Rivo Renkung was in excellent fighting condition today but Sakkreerin had to many skills and trained expertly by Rian Munton in a very entertaining IBF Pan Pacific championship bout. My next promotion is on September 9 and will feature the number #7 IBF super Bantamweight Thantong Kiattaweesuk in what should be a very good contest against a credible opponent from South Africa.”
