Bassitov, now 2-0 (2), who impressively defeated
8-1 Sunil Khokhar in his debut last December,
took on the much more experienced Prachak Porkha
(11-6-1, 5 KOs), from Thailand, and delivered a
patient and disciplined performance.
With height and reach on his side, Bassitov
boxed effectively from the outside early in the
bout, landing his jab and mixing in solid right
hands, while Porkha tried to get on the inside.
Bassitov had little trouble controlling the
action, but Porkha did manage to land some
decent right hands along the way, reminding his
opponent that he had also come to win.

However, in round four Bassitov started to land
some heavy body-shots, and eventually floored
Porkha. The Thai made it to his feet, but the
referee had seen enough and counted to ten.
It was an impressive display by the new champion,
who proved that he is already ready for bigger
challenges in the ring.
The fight headlined a show promoted by
Singmanassak Boxing in association with Tap Boxing
Management and Tunal Academy.
