Weekend Rundown: Buakaw, Yodsanklai, Fabio Pinca, Lerdsila, and Ekpracha Menton all win

It's time for the weekend rundown since two events took place this weekend. One was in California and the other in China, but both featured some top notch talent from Thailand. Push Kick Promotions "World Stand Off" took place in Pomona, CA while Thai Fight Extreme took place in Hong Kong, China.

Push Kick Promotions "World Stand Off"

The event dubbed Thailand vs. The World was hit hard when it lost two of the five pro bouts one day before the event due to fighters no getting medical clearance. Gornpet "Diamond Hands' DeJrat vs. Ky Hollenbeck and Neungsiam "The Rock" Samphusri vs. Charles Williams were the canceled at the last minute due to DeJrat and Samphusri not getting medically cleared to fight, however, the three pro fights that did happen were pretty exciting.

Pomona, CA -- Despite losing two of its pro fights at the last minute Push Kick Promotions "World Stand Off" was quite an exciting event. Ky Hollenbeck vs. Gornpet "Diamond Hands" DeJrat and Neungsiam "The Rock" Samphusri vs. Charles Williams were the canceled bouts.

Lerdsila "Mr. Lightning" and Sheymon Da Silva headlined the event and early on it was clear that Lerdsila had no respect for Da Silva as he kept his hands down mocking him and encouraging Da Silva to kick him in the leg. Da Silva pressed the action the entire fight, but Lerdsila was very effective with his counters. When they clinched it was very clear that Lerdsila was the stronger fighter as he tossed Da Silva to the canvas on several occasions. Da Silva continued to press the action the entire fight while Lerdsila seemed content to simply counter and use his speed against the Brazilian fighter. When it was all said and done Lerdsila "Mr. Lightning" walked away with a unanimous decision victory.
