May 29th in the Heavenly City (Nakhon Sawan), airing live on Thailand Ch7. WBA "Super World" minimumweight title at stake, 1st defense of Niyomtrong (and ninth consecutive WBA title defense overall, having successfully made seven defenses of the regular title before they elevated him). The challenger is best remembered for coming from obscurity to give his (and Niyomtrong's) countryman and former WBC light flyweight titlist Suriyan "Kompayak Porpramook" Satorn a pair of tough fights, splitting them with an SD loss and then an upset victory by UD in the rematch. He is the WBA's seventh-ranked contender at 105lbs.
