The 24 year old Chonlatarn was far too good for Gabijan and dominated the fight except for a brief moment in the opening round when Gabijan launched a wild attack but was soon pegged back with some solid body shots by the champion.

Chonlatarn used his speed and power to telling effect and demolished Gabijan with vicious body shots forcing the outclassed Filipino challenger to quit at the beginning of the eighth round.
