WBA #1 and PABA super bantamweight Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym made short work of Jason Butar Butar, cruising for two rounds before turning up the heat and stopping the Indonesian in round three of their scheduled eleven round bout.
Both fighters started the fight cautiously, flicking out jabs, and probing for openings. In the last thirty seconds of the round, Poonsawat picked up the pace and began driving in the jab-straight right combination to steal the round.
Butar Butar took a defensive posture in the following round, backpedaling and only occasionally letting loose with his punches. Midway through the round, Poonsawat scored with a stiff right that clearly had an effect on Butar Butar, stopping him in his tracks. Now wary of the Thai’s power, Butar Butar covered up, completely disregarding his offense. Poonsawat fired off punch after punch without receiving a response, nearly ending the fight before the Indonesian was saved by the bell.
in the final stanza, Kratingdaenggym, sensing his opponent’s unwillingness to engage and inability to hurt him, moved forward aggressively while slamming hard shot after hard shot into the ribs of Butar Butar. The Indonesian collapsed and was down for the count. The time of the stoppage, 1:36 of round three.
After the bout, Kratingdaenggym said he’s ready to take the title from Celestino Caballero. The bout is tentatively scheduled to take place in Thailand sometime in October.
Also on he card, Jesus Singwangcha, now the chief sparring partner of Poonswat, went six, hard, give and take rounds with Nung-Ubon Sor Tanapinyo, coming out the victor to win his eighth bout in-a-row. Singwangcha, formerly Jesus Muzaka, has improved greatly since changing management and sparring with Kratingdaenggym.
