Rung retains World title
Thailand’s Rungnakorn Kharnpan or Rung as he is known to UK fight fans made a second successful defence of his ISKA World Light-Welterweight Muaythai title inside four months. He faced undefeated Scottish Muaythai Champion James Doolan at the Oran Morin in Glasgow on the 14th September.
Doolan started tentatively testing his distance with low kicks, Rung answered with firm body shots. In the clinch Doolan was defensive, trying to tie Rung up, on the break Doolan took his chance, backing Rung into a corner and unloading a barrage of twenty or more punches, Rung covers up and rides the storm then steps through with a right cross rocking Doolan.
In Round two Rungs body kicks are really taking effect, Doolan looks tired, he goes down from a knee to the stomach and takes an eight count, Rung is back on him with body kicks Doolan hits the ropes starts to fold when Rung unleashes a right elbow catching Doolan above the left eye, opening up a 6cm cut, the doctor deems him unable to continue at 2.25 minutes of the second.
