Kompayak Porpramook Wins Titles at Two Flyweight Classes
Kompayak Porpramook won the WBC light flyweight championship against Adrián Hernández in Bangkok on December 23, 2011. The Thai boxer later added an interim WBA flyweight title to his championship record.
The Hernández championship rivalry
The December 2011 victory brought Kompayak a world championship at 108 pounds. Hernández regained the belt in their October 2012 rematch in Mexico, ending the Thai boxer’s reign.
Interim flyweight championship
Kompayak moved into a WBA interim flyweight championship contest against Jean Piero Pérez in Thailand on April 26, 2013. He stopped Pérez in the sixth round at the City Hall Ground in Khon Kaen Province.
The victory gave Kompayak championship success at a second weight. The WBA’s report listed him with fifty professional wins and four defeats following the contest, including thirty-five knockout victories.
Against Pérez, Kompayak attacked the body to establish control during the second and third rounds. The Venezuelan answered with footwork, jabs and straight rights in the fourth, opening a cut over the Thai boxer’s left eyebrow. Kompayak increased his pressure in the fifth and hurt Pérez with an uppercut in the sixth. Referee Ferlin Marsch intervened at 1:48 of that round after the subsequent sustained unanswered attack, completing Kompayak’s recovery from the Hernández rematch defeat in Toluca.
