Big Ben has won the WBC Muaythai Welterweight from defending Champion Nopadeth 2 at Rajadamnern Stadium (4 August).

Big Ben Chor Praram 6 powered over Nopadeth 2 Chuwatana in four of five rounds to finish a comfortable winner 49-7, 50-47 and 49-47.

Big Ben used his superior body strength to dominate the championship to take his place as an elite world champion.

Nopadeth 2 won the third round after trailing in the second, but the final two rounds were the domain of Big Ben who was far too strong in grappling and finished too strong for his slower opponent.

Jomthong Chuwatana outclassed defending WBC MUAYTHAI World Featherweight champion Anuwat Kaewsumrith  at the packed Rajadamnern Stadium (31 July).

Anuwat threw unrelenting hard punches for five rounds, but Jomthong courageously held his ground and used his strong kicking skills to take  the title from the Thai superstar.

The fourth round was the testing time for Jomthong when he bravely took two hard punches to the head and then evaded a lightning fast elbow strike to set up an impressive title victory.

The fight was a unanamous decision.

In the other WBC world title on the same Rajadamern championship card Kaiyasit Chuwatana proved far too strong for Daosaming Ingram-Gym, winning every round.

Kaiyasit produced a masterly display eclipsing his opponent with superb knee strikes

TOKYO, July 7, 2008 — Japanese kickboxer Yoshihiro Sato, 27, upset two-time K-1 World Max Champion Buakaw Por Pramuk of Thailand tonight at the K-1 World Max 2008 World Championship Tournament Final 8. In the evening’s Main Event, Japanese kickboxer Masato defeated Armenian fighter Drago.

With thunderclouds blanketing the Tokyo sky, the air hung hot and humid inside the historic Nippon Budokan. A full house of more than 11,000 turned out for the fightsport extravaganza, which comprised four World Max Championship elimination bouts, along with four one-match World Max bouts; a trio of contests in a new 60kg/150lbs weight class, and a pair of K-1 Youth bouts.

Thai star Lamsongkram Chuwatana won every round against French champion Farid Villaume and easily defended his WBC MUAYTHAI Middleweight crown in Montengo Bay Jamaica on the 20th June.

Lamsongkram broke Farid’s right rib cage in the second round with strong knees. He then extended his points advantage to run out an easy winner..

On the same card WBC defending super welterweight champions Yodsaenklai Fairtex proved too strong for Malaipet Team Diamond.

Yodsaenklai dominated Malaipet over three rounds and Malapiet was unable to come out for the fourth round due to cuts inflicted by Yod’s dangerous elbows.

The third WBC MUAYTHAI World Title was won by Super Cruiserweight Australian Steve McKinnon, who showed great strength and heart to triumph over Dutch toughman “bad boy” Ashwin Balrak.

McKinnon started strong and never let up to win the vacant title by a comfortable margin.
