WBC#6 strawweight Wanheng Meenayothin (10-0, 3 KOs) successfully kept his WBC youth 105lb title as he won a unanimous decision over former PBF title holder Roel Lagonero (7-4-2, 4 KOs) on Friday at the City Hall of Nakornrachasima Province, Thailand. Although there was no knockdown, both fighters mostly exchanged punches in a ten-round exciting bout. Wanheng, a Muaythai champion, looked a little better and dominated with his more accurate punches. After a ten round heat bout, all scorecards were read 97-93 for the undefeated champion. Wanheng kept his WBC youth belt for the sixth time. This bout was the main event of a special Muaythai & Boxing card promoted by Piyarat Wachirarattanawong of Petchyindee Boxing Promotion.
