Rambolek Overcomes Anane, Wins ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title
Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon is the new ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion.
The 23-year-old Thai delivered the performance of his career on March 20 systematically dismantling Nabil Anane over five rounds to claim the title via unanimous decision at The Inner Circle Superfan Club Fights at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Rambolek came out with a game plan and stuck to it from the first bell. Working on the outside, he used his range to frustrate the defending champion, who preferred to operate in the clinch. Anane lunged forward repeatedly looking to close distance, but Rambolek timed him cleanly and announced his intentions early with a sharp right hand.
In round two, Rambolek went to work on Anane’s lead leg with punishing low kicks, each one landing with enough force to make the 21-year-old Algerian-Thai buckle. Anane tried to fight through the damage by pressing forward with punches, but the leg was already damaged.
Rambolek seized full control in the third. The exchanges were back and forth until a thunderous overhand right dropped Anane to the canvas and swung the scorecards decisively in the challenger’s favor. He replicated the formula in the fourth, luring his opponent in before landing another overhand right that sent Anane to the floor for the second time.
With a comfortable lead heading into the fifth, Rambolek fought smart. He used his push kick as a wall to keep Anane at distance, and when Anane did close the gap, he neutralized Anane’s clinch attacks. When the final bell rang, all three judges gave it to Rambolek.
