BANGKOK, Thailand — In a hard-fought, ten-round rumble, more-experienced former world-titlist Yuttana “Stamp” Kaensa (24-4, 10 KO’s) of Thailand decisioned the charge of well-trained Malaysian challenger “The Kilat Boy” Daeloniel McDelon to conquer the vacant ABF Continental Bantamweight Strap Saturday, November 5, at the luxurious Spaceplus Bangkok, RCA Plaza, Thailand.

Both young warriors, Yutthana, 24, and McDelon, 23, traded heavy artillery throughout the close, exciting war streamed on YouTube and Facebook; and aired live in Thailand on WorkPoint Channel 23.

McDelon (4-3, 2 KO’s), also a member of Malaysia’s boxing team, started fast and accurate, landing clean shots from the distance, claiming success in the early going, with the Thai veteran re-gaining control of actions during the second half of the entertaining battle enjoyed by fans in attendance.

There were no cuts, no knockdowns, nor points deductions throughout the clean, entertaining encounter attended by ABF President Naris Singwancha, Thailand’s top Night Club entrepreneur Tony Chen, and legendary Thai promoter Niwat Laosuwanwat.

The far more-experienced former world champ Yutthana, proved to be a man still hungry for glory, outpointing McDelon, while the young lion “Kilat Boy” McDelon demonstrated skills and heart in a promising future.

The brave Malaysian McDelon was assisted in his corner by veteran Filipino coach former world champion Joemarie Gamboa of Mandaue, Cebu, by Pinoy man of boxing Brico Santig of Benguet and Fil-Am teammate JV Tuazon.

In the co-feature, Thailand’s reigning WBA Asia Flyweight Champion Tanes Ongjunta (12-1, 6 KO’s), dropped and stopped boxing rookie Ayub El Amkari of Morocco in a stay-busy non-title battle at a catchweight of 114 pounds.

Tanes Ongjunta, the WBA # 8 world-ranked Flyweight, proved his superior quality as a fighter, inching closer to a world-title challenge.

The afternoon of boxing today Saturday November 5, at the SpacePlus Night Club was a production of TL Promotions’ boxing series “The Fighter.”
