WBC flyweight title

  • Kittikasem knocked to the canvas by a hard right hand exactly as the bell sounds to end round one. The referee waves off the knock down and Kittikasem is aided back to his corner.
  • Standing center ring, Arbachakov is caught flush on the chin by a Kittikasem straight right that knocks him to the canvas less than thirty seconds into round 3. He quickly rises and after a small stumble appears to gain his footing and composure and takes the referees count in a corner.
  • Seconds after rising from being knocked down, Arbachakov surges and catches Kittikasem with several hard right hand power shots that see him quickly taking control of the fight. A straight right-left hook Arbachakov combo drops Kittikasem hard to the canvas with over a minute to go in the third. The Thai fighter rises quickly, but he takes a bad beating as the rest of the round sees him barely holding on while absorbing hard punches.
  • Starting in round four, Arbachakov begins using his jab more regularly, beginning to dictate the tone of the round with it as he routinely snaps back the head of the pressuring Kittikasem.
  • With just 10 seconds to go in the eighth, Kittikasem is caught with a perfectly timed Arbachakov right hand while he's pressuring his way in that knocks him completely unconscious, crumpling face first to the canvas for the entire ten count and a lengthy period of time after that.
