The show was held on a special stage, on a floating barge on the side of the Chao Praya rver in Nonthaburi province, just outside of Bangkok and a special atmosphere was created with the fighters brought in on speedboats. Detsuriya Sittiprasert vs Petchthawee Sor Kittichai  The opening bout was for Detsuriya’s recently won S-1 Super-bantamweight title. Both fighters take their time a little in the opening round, fighting out in the afternoon heat. In round 2 both start to open up a little with kicks and take the fight into the clinch. Petchthawee lands a fast pushkick to the face of Detsuriya and then knocks him off his feet with another well-timed pushkick. The action heats up even more in the 3rd as both get busy in the clinch and open up with solid knees, Petchthawee looks strong as he spins Detsuriya down to the canvas a couple of times. Both fire in vicious elbow strikes and trade hard knees. It is another very busy round in the clinch in the 4th, with both trying to get the upper hand and firing in solid knees. Petchthawee looks the stronger of the two though as he spins Detsuriya into the ropes and lands with some hard follow up knees. Petchthawee comes out at the start of the 5th and lands with a few more heavy knees to take him well in front. Detsuriya came out punching now in a last ditch attempt to salvage the fight, but Petchthawee covered up well and used a sharp pushkick to stay out of danger and take the fight on points.   Rittijak Kaewsamrit vs Chartchainoi Gardenseaview  This fight was for the S-1 Bantamweight title. Rittijak pushes forward from the off, looking to fire in sharp punches and lowkicks. Chartchainoi keeps a tight guard and fires back with solid bodykicks. Rittijak keeps pushing forward in round 2, but chartchainoi fires back with fast counterkicks. Rittijak gets through with a couple of solid shots, but not enough to trouble Chartchainoi. Rittijak comes out even more determined at the start of the 3rd and tries to get of with more solid shots, but Chartchainoi’s movement is excellent and he manages to avoid getting caught with anything too solid and lands with solid right counterkicks throughout. Rittijak comes out firing again at the start of the 4th and lands with a couple of heavy shots that seem to stun Chartchainoi, but he grits his teeth and fires back with some solid elbows. The fight moves into the clinch now and Rittijak tries to open up with some sharp elbows, but soon looks like he has run out of gas. Rittijak comes out for a last ditch attack at the start of the final round, but doesn’t have enough snap left in his shots to do any real damage and allows Chartchainoi to cruise to the win.   Nopparat Kiatgamthon vs Bovy Sor Udomson  The main event saw Nopparat come in as a big favorite over Bovy and had to give up a 7-pound weight difference. Although most still had Nopparat as the likely winner there was a feeling he could succumb to the strong punch attacks of Bovy, Nopparat’s least favorite weapon. Bovy started the fight in the only style he knows, walking forward, stalking his opponent and looking to fire in heavy punches to the head and body. Nopparat looks a little uncomfortable and trys to keep a tight guard and fire back with hard elbows to keep Bovy at bay. In round 2 Bovy continues marching forward and firing in heavy punch combinations. Nopparat keeps it tight and fires back with elbows and gets off with some solid knees now. Midway through the round Nopparat lands with a hard elbow that staggers Bovy and Bovy looks like he has a problem with one eye. Nopparat comes in for the kill and sends Bovy staggering back across the ring with a hard pushkicks and comes in with more hard elbows. Bovy somehow manages to stay on his feet and gets his senses back, before pushing forward again just before the bell. Bovy comes out again at the start of the 3rd and focuses his punch attack more on the body of Nopparat and fires in some hard elbows to the head. Nopparat tries to come back with more elbows, but Bovy’s attacks are relentless and Nopparat soon looks like he is in trouble. Bovy sees this and oepens up even more and lands with a barrage of hard shots that send Nopparat face down to the canvas where he is counted out.  Peththor Sitjaopho vs Petchsonguan Sitniwat  This fight is for the S-1 Featherweight title. Both fighters spend the opening round feeling out each others defences. Petchsonguan pushes forward a little more in the 2nd, looking to take the fight into the clinch. Petchthor looks sharp though, firing back with fast kicks and punch combinations. Petchsonguan keeps taking the fight into the clinch and starts to get through with some solid knees. Petchthor keeps moving well though and fires in more sharp counterkicks. The fight moves into the clinch in the 4th with both fighters landing with strong knees, Petcthor lands with a couple of eye catching jumping knees, but Petchsonguan looks the busier of the two and lands with the harder shots. Petchsonguan lands with a few strong knees at the start of the final round and then goes on the back foot. Petchthor comes forward now and lands with a few sharp kicks, but it is not seen as enough by the judges and Petchsonguan takes the win.
