RESULTS FROM WCK MUAYTHAI APRIL 17TH, 2010, BUFFALO BILL’S RESORT & CASINO OF PRIMM VALLEY

WCK MuayThai Delivers Another Spectacular Event of Professional Full Rules MuayThai and Showcases the Upcoming Talent with Amateur MuayThai Bouts
PRIMM, Nev. — April 18, 2010 – Six professional and seven amateur MuayThai fights have kept the attention of about two thousand fans at WCK MuayThai on April 17th at the Buffalo Bill’s Star of Desert Arena. All of the fighters have stepped up their game, while a few have gone to a whole new level.
Martin Hensch stepped up when he took on the fight against Joey Pagliuso on a short notice to substitute an injured fighter. Pagliuso stayed busy and used his heavy hands to his advantage to secure the win by unanimous decision.
Chaz Mulkey showed tremendous performance when he took on Menno Dijkstra of Holland, record 32-5. Mulkey kept on coming with every combination, relying heavily on clinching, elbows and strong knees for all five rounds at an equally intensive pace, and won by unanimous decision.
Scott Leffler of Las Vegas won his first title. He is now the IKKC Welterweight National Champion. Like Yarborough, Leffler hurt his opponent’s, James Martinez’ knee and won the belt via TKO in the second round.
Shawn Yarborough, the current WBC National Light Heavyweight Champion, was defending his title against Tom Munro of Atlanta. The fight didn’t not take long, as Yarborough split Munro’s knee in half in the first round and went through the first line of defending his belt with a TKO.
Jemyma Betrian became the WBC MuayThai International Women’s Super Flyweight Champion when she won by unanimous decision against the tough Christine Toledo. Toledo has fought her heart out, but Betrian stayed busier throughout the five rounds.
Jack Thames was a last-minute substitute for Kwame Stephens, and took on the current WBC MuayThai National Middleweight Champion, Craig Buchanan. The “Rhino” Thames proved his nickname as he moved forward around the ring for five rounds, but Buchanan was very comfortable with knees and elbows. This very close fight ended in a split decision win by Buchanan, but also gives a chance to Jack Thames at a shot for WBC National Title when the two rematch later this year.

Two amateur bouts have stood out on April 17th:
Artem Sharoshkin took on the current USMTA World Welterweight champion, Nick Chasteen and knocked him out in the third round. This was not a title fight, so Chasteen keeps the belt. Genesis Bravo became the IAMTF Women’s Super Flyweight Champion after she won against Melanie Edwards via unanimous decision. This was a rematch of the December 5th, 2009 fight, when Melanie Edwards took home the win. Both Sharoshkin and Bravo faced opponents who were much taller than they are and managed to use it to their advantage.
