BANGKOK, Thailand -- In a hard-fought ten-round rumble, former WBA world-champ Yuttana "Stamp" Kaensa (24-4, 10 KO's) of Thailand frustrated the charge of well-trained Malaysian challenger "The Kilat Boy" Daeloniel McDelon to win by decision and captured the vacant ABF Continental Bantamweight Strap Saturday, November 5, at the luxurious Spaceplus Bangkok, RCA Plaza, in 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 the actions during the second half of the entertaining battle enjoyed by fans in attendance.

There were no cuts, no knockdowns, nor point 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.
Tanes Ongjunta of Thailand wins over Ayub El Amkari of Morocco Saturday in Bangkok.
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.
