Unfortunately, in the 11th round, he was beaten by Sithnaruepol's fist as a result, his right eyebrow seriously bleed. The bout had to end when the doctor didn't allow him to continue fighting and made him lose. Although Thai boxer was the victor and became the new champion, the spectators shouted "Khi khong Khi khong Khi khong" (; literally: "cheating cheating cheating") to express their dissatisfaction with the decision.
