The main event is a rematch with a title attached. Petdam Petchyindee Academy of Thailand defends the WMO world super lightweight title against Mutsuga of Victory Gym over five three-minute rounds, a year after he took the vacant belt from him at Korakuen Hall.
That first fight went Petdam's way. He controlled the bout under Muay Thai rules and won by decision, and Mutsuga never got to bring the brawling style that earned him the nickname "Shokugyo Gekito" (professional brawler). Mutsuga has rebuilt since. After losing to Cho Swar Win by TKO in January, he beat Sentawee by decision in March and Chalermpon in July, scoring a knockdown with a right hook in the second win. His record stands at 25-7-2, according to Gong Kakutogi. Petdam is a former ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion who also won a Toyota marathon tournament.
The other two main events carry their own stakes. WMO world featherweight champion Hiroto Takizawa meets Chipkhart at 57.2 kg over five rounds. Chipkhart is a former RWS Rajadamnern featherweight champion, but he lost that title to Narak in July. Takizawa has dropped two straight, to Mongkolpetch in March and Petnamnueng in July, so he enters as champion on a losing run.
Ryota Mawatari, the WMO International super bantamweight champion, is coming off a decision loss to Wattana for the WMO world super featherweight title in July. He faces Sanglak, who is ranked sixth at super bantamweight by Omnoi Stadium, in a three-round super featherweight bout. Mawatari is 33-12-2.
The double semifinals are also Japan against Thailand and Malaysia. Japan Kick flyweight champion Maosei Nishihara, who knocked out Nuasila in the first round in July, meets Malaysia's Petchsetthai at 53 kg. Shogo Hosoda, coming off a decision loss in July, faces Super Joe at 52.5 kg.
Watch whether Mutsuga can drag Petdam into the kind of fight he failed to force last November. Takizawa, meanwhile, needs a win to stop his slide while defending his belt.
