WBA flyweight champion Denkaosan Kaovichit of Thailand is apologixing for his performance in the recent fight against Japan’s Daiki Kameda that he said was not so “beautiful”.
Denkaosan told Khao Sod newspaper that he simply had no more energy by round 8 at his second title defense, which was held in Osaka on October 6.
“I am 33 now. I have fought at least a hundred muaythai bouts and more than 30 professional boxing matches, including numerous PABA title defenses. I have been in the sport for more than 20 years. At this age, if I don’t try to save energy and occasionally stall the fight by grappling, I would not survive,” said the Thai champion.
“I can honestly say that the outcome was not so beautiful, as you can see. So, I would have to apologize to my fans.”

Denkaosan Kaovichit would not be able to retain WBA flyweight his title long if he kept using the stalling strategy in the ring, says Banmuang newspaper columnist “Por Pan”.
The sportswriter is disappointed at the champion’s performance in his WBA title defense against Daiki Kameda on October 6, although Denkaosan was able to retain his title.
“If that was all Denkaosan could do, which is continuously grappling the opponent rather than actually trying to fight, he would not have future. He is in his 30s already and does not have the stamina to endure fight with a younger boxer, not to mention the power of his punch that is not enough to land a knockout,” said Por Pan.
