Late on November 15, the Boxing - Ho Tram Legendary martial arts event officially ended with the impressive victory of WBO Global 2024 champion Tran Van Thao.

The match was scheduled to last 8 rounds, but it only lasted half of the time. The 23-year-old Thai boxer somewhat surprised Van Thao at the beginning of the match. Kwanchai possesses youthful strength, fast punches and the ability to move quickly.

Van Thao took the initiative, gradually pressed the pressure and launched many more precise attacks, especially body shot combos to the opponent's abdomen and ribs.

The experience and courage of the boxer who won the WBC Asia belt in 2017, the IBA world belt in 2022 and the WBO Global belt in 2024 gradually spoke up.

At the beginning of the 4th round, Van Thao knocked Kwanchai Pliankhunthod down twice. The Thai boxer could not continue fighting. The match ended less than 1 minute after the 4th round.

This is Tran Van Thao's 19th professional victory and 11th knockout victory in his career.
