Fly Weight Tournament Quarter-Finals

Friday, July 3rd, 1992
Chungmu Gymnasium; Chungmu, Korea

Yong-Kang Kim 25-3 (11) Korea WBA
vs.
Yuri Arbachakov 13-0 (11) Russia
AND
Yun-Un Chin 26-0-2 (17) Korea
vs.
Muanchai Kittikasem 20-1 (12) Thailand WBC

The crowd of 7,343 was solidly behind their native son Yun-Un Chin in his attempt to wrest the WBC Fly Weight title from Muanchai Kittikasem. Chin got off to a slow start and after 2 rounds his left eye was cut and starting to swell (3). In the 5th Chin was able to change the fight’s momentum when a perfect combination dropped Kittikasem for the count of 3. The WBC title holder fought a more defensive fight after the knockdown and targeted the increasingly swollen left eye of Chin (8), which began to bleed again in the 6th. There was good back and forth action until Chin caught Kittikasem in the 8th round, scoring 2 knockdowns. The final one was for the full count of 10.

For the first 3 rounds Kim fought on fairly even terms with Yuri Arbachakov. In the 4th Arbachakov’s constant pressure began to take a toll on Kim. After 4 rounds Ringside Expert Mark Jones had it 39-37 for Arbachakov. In the 5th Kim sustained a cut on his left eye lid, from what was ruled an accidental headbutt. Kim was hurt and dropped in the 6th and survived on very shaky legs. Kim rallied in the 9th and 10th to keep it interesting. Kim’s cut was reopened in the 11th, a round that saw Arbachakov resume control of the fight. The mouth of Kim was cut in the 12th and final round, but the game Korean fought on.
Ringside Expert, Mark Jones, had it for Arbachakov 117-113. Punch stat favored Kim 260 to 246. The left eye of Arbachakov had some minor swelling around it (3). The judges cards were read as: “116-112, 117-112, and 116-114 for the winner by unanimous decision and…..NEW WBA Fly Weight Champion Yuri Arbachakov!”
