JAKARTA - Ongen Saknosiwi only needed four rounds to win a knockout (KO) over the host boxer Rattakorn Tassaworn in the match for the WBC Asia Boxing Council Continental featherweight title (57.1 kg) at the World Siam Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand, Friday night.

Quoted from Antara, since entering the ring, Ongen has appeared very confident. Even so when the bell for the first round rang. He immediately appeared to attack.

Ongen opened the first round with light jabs. He kept going forward looking for an opening to launch a punch. Likewise with the opponent. The two boxers were seen reading each other's game.

Then, Ongen's dominance began to show. The boxer from Buru Island is very aggressive. Several times his punches entered the face and body of the opponent. In fact, he succeeded in making Tassaworn cornered.

Ongen is like dancing in a ring. Dominate the game. He continued to display footwork combined with hard punches. Occasionally he looked to the side of the ring to carry out the direction of the coach Edin Diaz.

Entering the second round, Ongen's dominance continued. On the other side on the sidelines came the voice of "patience... patience...". Ongen is smart enough to play the rhythm of the game.

He continued to attack, repelling the opponent. On the other hand, Tassaworn keeps trying to get out of the pressure. But Ongen did not give a gap. In fact, in the second round Ongen knocked the opponent down.

In the third round, Ongen seemed to make Tassaworn alive. But the proud Indonesian boxer is a little more calm. He tried to catch his breath while looking for an opening to launch a punch. Ongen's efforts were successful. The opponent for the second time fell and kissed the canvas.

From here, Ongen's aura of victory is clear. The 27-year-old boxer's confidence is increasing. Ongen's stamina is very good. On the other hand, the opponent seems to be out of breath. Even though Tassaworn is still young at 18 years.

Then in the fourth round, Ongen was able to throw hard punches that hit the opponent again. To be precise, the combination of the right hook was followed by a left uppercut that pierced Tassaworn's right rib. The blow caused the opponent to fall and could not get up again.

The match ended with Ongen's victory. With this result, Ongen is entitled to the title of WBC Asia Boxing Council Continental featherweight champion. This title was actually won by Ongen after defeating the Thai boxer Nanthawat Maolichat in Singapore, 7 September 2019. At that time, Ongen won the fourth round of knockouts.

But then he vacated the title to pursue the IBA world title against Filipino boxer Marco Demecillo at Jatim Park 3, Batu, East Java, on November 17, 2019.

As for this victory, Ongen extended his unbeaten run to nine throughout his professional career. Including a record KO victory to seven.
