round four of scheduled six. Promoter Jimmy
Chaichotchuang said, Rusalee Samor was impressive in defeating previously
unbeaten Indonesian boxer Espinos Sabu. Samor is ready to challenge for the
world title in 2014. Also I am excited to manage and promote Japanese
welterweight Takamori Akita who won IBF Asian title. Akita has good potential
to be a world class boxer. He gave IBF rated light welterweight Patomsuk
Pathompothong a very tough fight in 2013. Televised throughout Thailand on Channel seven television network
