       Thailand flyweight prospect Rusalee Samor (14-3-2, 6 KOs) scored a twelve round decision over Filipino Ryan Tampus (10-8, 7KOs) in an exciting battle at the Mahanakorn Floating Market, Bangkok, Thailand on Wednesday. Tampus took control of the contest in round one as he connected with accurate combinations on the aggressive Samor. The Thai boxer stepped up the pace in round two and delivered solid head and body shots consistently on the tough 22-year-old Filipino who seemed to tire through rounds six to eight but in round nine Tampus connected with accurate combinations on Samor that had him out on his feet through most of the round but showing a big heart he stayed upright until the bell. Samor recovered well between rounds mainly because of his excellent physical conditioning and came back to win rounds ten and eleven. Tampus went on the attack in the final round and scored well to win the round but went down by decision to Samor by scores 115-112, 116-112, 116-111.
       Promoter Jimmy Chaichotchuang said “Thailand is suffering extreme floods which are the worst in our country’s history. The Thai fighting spirit will get us through this very difficult time and we will continue to promote regular IBF championship boxing in Thailand that will be televised nationally. Rusalee Samor demonstrated today the heart of the Thai people when he was nearly defeated but came back to be the victor. Thailand will rebuild and recover from this natural disaster.”

       In the undercard bouts. Bangkok University student Vacharakrit Senahan (22-4-1) scored eight round decision over Mark Sales (18-34-3) of the Philippines in a featherweight bout. Sales, who is a Manny Pacquiao look-a-like, showed good skills that helped him survive the distance against the taller Senahan who connected with power combinations in rounds six seven and eight.

       Classy mini flyweight Fahlan Sakkreerin (12-1) scored a second round KO over Samingkao Sor Thantawanin. The KO punch was a perfectly delivered left hook. Sakkreerin is the son of former world IBF mini flyweight champion Fahlan Sakkreerin Sr.
