The WIBA flyweight match held in Bangkok on Friday April 10 began with a lot of action since the first round, with the aggressive Thai boxer utilizing her longer reach to launch flurries at Leivas, but the Swedish was able to hold her guards to strike a counter punch at the right moment. By the fourth round, however, Samson finally exhausted Leivas and put her to the canvas for a count of eight by a hook to the body.
From then on, the Thai was conducting a one-sided onslaught and sent Leivas down again in the sixth round, although the Swedish was saved by the bell. In the two subsequent rounds, Leivas was attempting to flee from Samson’s attacks but it did not seem to help her much. In the eighth round, the referee decided to end the game and let Samson win the WIBA title.
According to WIBA representative Raymond Chang, Samson will have to challenge the real title holder Eileen Olszewski, a 40-year-old American pugilist who is taking a break from fighting due to an injury, in August this year.
