Las Vegas Hilton
For 20 years, the World Championship Kickboxing has been a prestigious organization in the Muay Thai community across the world. Dennis Warner, the founder of the WCK, has created some of the most renowned shows in this rising sport.
Warner, has held World Championships all over the world under his promotion company, In Sync Productions Inc., and has brought the most international fighters to North America than any other American Muay Thai organization. Warner holds an event every month, holding a promising fight card to satisfy fans at each match.
For the WCK's 89th production, Redland’s Jared Lara, defeated Vaughn Lucas for the WBC Muay Thai National Title as well as the US Middlewieght Title at the World Championship Muay Thai in the Las Vegas Hilton on July 25.
Lara and Vaughn went five, three-minute rounds, until Lara ended up on top with his endurance clearly defeating Vaughn’s. Lara's win was a unanimous decision. This was the first bout of the evening; Lara wore his Title proudly and set the packed Hilton show off with high expectations from the crowd.
Baxter Humby, (35-5) from Los Angeles gave a great performance, as he defeated Chike Lindsay in the Welterwieght bout. Humby, who was born without his right arm, put on a great fight and took the win with split decision. After his victory, Humby addressed the audience and said, “The only limits that you have are the ones that you put on yourself.”
Also on the fight card was Thailand’s superstar, Malaipet, (138-28-5) who went head to head with England’s cup of tea, Rich Fenwick (28-8-1) to take Fenwick’s WBC International Super welterweight title, which Fenwick earned by defeating Malaipet in a close point decision earlier this year.
The Thailand native came out on top this time, sweeping Fenwick’s title from him and making the bout an unforgettable match. The crowd could see the smile on Malaipet’s face as he threw each punch at his opponent. With a unanimous decision, it was a sweet victory for Malaipet and his fans and was a great ending to the memorable evening.
Randy Couture and son, Ryan, made it out to the Las Vegas event as well, adding to the excitement of the night. Warner put on an unforgettable show and is holding his next event in Las Vegas as well on August 30.
