APBC Jr Bantamweight Championship Ends In Controversy

Thailand's Kongtoranee Payakaroon (14-2-1-9) and Korean Ju-Do Chun (9-0-2-1) met for the vacant APBC Jr Bantamweight Championship in front of a pro Chun crowd at the Bucheon University in South Korea. To even things out The referee selected for the bout was Thailand's Chalerm Prayadsab and who would of thought the referee would have created so much controversy. After eleven very close and competitive rounds this fight was very much up for grabs going into the last round. In the twelfth round Chun was unloading on Payakaroon and was easily on his way to winning the round big when Prayadsab stopped the action and deducted a point from Chun for a low blow that no one at ringside seemed to see land. Thus leaving the last round to be scored 9-9. When the decision was announced that point deduction cost Chun the fight. Scores were 115-113 Chun and 114-114 twice. The crowd was obviously angered and what had been a great fight quickly turned bad. Prayadsab had to be escorted from the ring under the safety of security staff. The bout itself was very exciting. Payakaroon clearly the harder puncher of the two landed bombs thru out the bout while Chun used superior boxing skills to keep Payakaroon at bay. Payakaroon has not had much luck since fighting outside of his native Thailand as he lost a decision in Mexico to Armando Castro (24-0-2-19) back in January and now this match here in Thailand. With the help of an interpreter Payakaroon had this to say. "It was a close fight I felt I earned the decision as I landed the harder punches." Chun obviously upset had this to say. "That ref cost me the fight. I easily won the last round and should have got the decision." Good news is these two will meet up again in June.

Next we had #11 ranked Gustavo Ballas (14-0-0-2) taking on #10 ranked Chul-Ho Kim (12-1-0-5). This bout was competative thru the first seven rounds as both men had there moments. Ballas landing the harder cleaner shots while Kim used the ring to counter Ballas effectively. After the seventh Kim seemed gassed and it showed as Ballas took control easily winning the eighth round and punctuated the fight with a huge ninth round scoring a knockdown with a brutal hook. Kim rose at nine and managed to finish the fight.

Next we had #18 Jiro Wantanabe (22-1-0-18) taking on #16 Roberto Ramirez (15-2-0-10). Ramirez started quickly landing some haymakers on the jaw of Wantanabe in the first who continued to plow forward and land his own bombs. In the second Wantanabe took control from the opening minute of the round and just pasted Ramirez with rights and lefts. In the third Wantanabe continued his assault and Perez Huerta was close to stopping the bout as Ramirez was defensless against the ropes wwhen a Wantanabe hook dropped Ramirez for the 10 count at 2:57

In the opening bout we had pre-prime boxer Jackal Maruyama (14-3-1-4) facing Rafael Orono (14-2-1-3). Orono was looking to rebound from a 10 round split decision loss to Thanomsak Sithbaobay (23-0-0-5) back in February while Maruyama was looking to rebound from a fifth round knockout loss to Khaosai Galaxy (18-0-0-18) back in January. This was a typical back and fourth fight as both men alternated rounds thru the first six. early in the second a Orono hook opened a nasty gash under the right eye of Maruyama and the ref quickly brought Maruyama to the physician for an examination. The doc allowed the fight to continue and what a job Maruyama's corner did as the cut would not reopen again until the seventh. Late in the fifth a Maruyama hook rattled Orono badly. Thru six I had the fight even and in the seventh a Maruyama hook strayed south of the border and it cost him a point. so After seven it was even on my card and it was at this point Orono took over winning the eighth and ninth rounds easily as he was the fresher of the two and landed some great combos. Maruyama won a very lack luster tenth round as both men were fatigued and could not sustain much of an offense. I Had Orono winning by a point. Scores were 96-95 Maruyama, 96-93 Orono and the final judge scored it 95-95 a draw. The decision seemed ok with the crowd who cheered both men.Should make for a great rematch.
