Bout Summary

South Korean southpaw Hong, captured the IFBA title in addition to her own WBO title by withstanding the accurate sharpshooting of Park, and occasionally scoring heavy shots that took their toll.

Hong, who had just took possession of the WBO title in her last fight by dethroning Teeraporn Pannimit, was a prefight underdog against the more experienced Park. The 27-year-old Park , making her 12th defense, had been a title holder since 2006.

Hong, the younger fighter, took the initiative with her fine display of punch power that dropped Park in the first round with a good-old-fashioned one-two. Up at the count of four, Park struggled early on and Hong dominated the first three rounds, though Park threw back sporadic jabs.

Park took the fourth, however Hong remained the aggressor chasing her all over the ring. Hong regained control in the fifth as the give-and-take natural of the fight entertained the crowd. The sixth swung back to Park after a hook penetrated Hong's defense and she went on the offensive, trapping Hong against the ropes and tagging her face with accurate right hands.

The seventh round saw a slugfest as the brawling natural of the fight peaked before giving way to a both fighters coasting and slowly decreasing work rate. But for the duration of that seventh round, the two went toe-to-toe, taking turns pounding away on each other until the sound of the bell, which was drowned out by the applause of the crowd.

Neither fighter seemed to gain their second wind, and the fight fizzled out, Park upped her punch output in round nine to stir the crowd, but Hong was not interested in going on the offense, settling on keeping her defense tight and picking her countering opportunities.

Hong moves to, 8-0-0 (4), whilst Park drops to, 16-3-0 (5).
