Arguably the top prospect in Malaysia, 20-year-old Hazman Siew, went into his first championship fight in only his fourth outing, facing much more experienced Thai co-challenger Phollawat Nanthaekkaphong for the vacant UBO Continental (Asia) Featherweight title.

Both boxers started fast and each had their success in the first round, but it was Siew who first made his mark in round two where he clearly started to hurt Nanthaekkaphong with body-shots.

Siew scored one knock-down with a body-shot, where Nanthaekkaphong beat the count, but when the Malaysian floored his foe with a second hard shot to the body, it was all over. Official time 1:50 of round two.

It was composed and impressive from Siew, who takes his professional record to 4-0 (3). Nanthaekkaphong, a winner of three of his last four, falls to 13-11 (9).

In the second UBO title fight of the card, Saudi Arabia´s Mohammed Nawef Chahlal took on Natthawat Aiemsuebnum for the vacant UBO Continental (Asia) title at Super Featherweight.

Chahlal, who won the Thailand national title at Super Lightweight in his most recent outing, put on a dominating performance and showed his big potential, winning every round on his way to a land-slide unanimous decision.

In round four Chahlal managed to score a knock-down, but Aiemsuebnum was as game as they come, beat the count of referee Somchai Tongin, and did his best to fight back.

Judges Suthep Lephon, Pasit Iamthuam and Krangdej Shabutra all scored the fight 80-71 for Chahlal, who remains undefeated at 6-0 (5). Aiemsuebnum drops to 5-2-1 (3).

The show was promoted by Manop Iamthuam in association with Tunal Academy.
