Petchmanee claims regional title in tick over bout, World champions spar in public

Earlier today fight fans tuning in to Thai Channel 7, or the Petchyindee Facebook steam, got the chance to enjoy a show from the Rangsit International Stadium in Rangsit. The card, like many Thai shows, wasn't deep in terms of quality, but did feature a number of notable Thai's in what were, essentially, tick over bouts.

The most notable man in an fight was world ranked Thai Petchmanee CP Freshmart (34-1, 22), aka Panya Pradabsri, who picked up his latest win as he easily defeated the over-matched Wichet Sengprakhon (11-8, 6).

The talented Petchmanee was in control through out, and showed the gulf in class from the early going. Credit needs to go to Wichet for giving an effort, but in the end he was taking a lot of unanswered punishment and the bout was stopped between rounds 4 and 5, when the bout was becoming more and more one sided.

​With the win Petchmanee claims the WBC Asian Asian Boxing Council Minimumweight title.

Interestingly this broadcast also featured a notable public spar between world champions Wanheng Menayothin (54-0, 18) [วันเฮง มีนะโยธิน], the WBC Minimumweight champion, and Knockout CP Freshmart (21-0, 7) [น็อคเอาท์ ซีพีเฟรชมาร์ท], the WBA Minimumweight champion,. Although it was only a spar it was still interesting to see the two men in the ring together and it was a pretty hotly contested spar between two men who certainly have some frustrations building given how 2020 has treat both men.
