Rumble of the Kings 2011 took place in Stockholm, Sweden on November 26th. The main event of the evening was the much anticipated bout between Artur Kyshenko and Yodsanklai Fairtex. Kyshenko was the larger fighter of the two, but as always Yodsanklai was game. Kyshenko used his boxing in the opening round to keep Yodsanklai at bay. Kyshenko later connected with some solid left hooks that clearly hurt the Yodsanklai, however, despite being on wobbly legs he was able to not only stay on his feet from the punches, but survive the barrage that followed by Kyshenko.
The second round saw Yodsanklai come back strong as he and Kyshenko exchanged kicks and punches in a back and forth fight. In the third and final round it was clear Yodsanklai was fatigued, Kyshenko started to pull away as the round wore on. Eventually Yodsanklai let his hands down and was simply looking to land a one shot KO that never came. Kyshenko continued to work through the round and in the end took home a unanimous decision victory.
