Kimluay Knocks Out Jozef Molnar to Claim Interim Rajadamnern Title at RWS 219

The third bout between Kimluay (คิมหล่วย) and Jozef Molnar from Jitmuangnon ended in a knockout and a title change at Rajadamnern. On Saturday night (31), in Bangkok, Kimluay defeated his rival at RWS 219 (Rajadamnern World Series) and claimed the interim title in the 140-pound (super lightweight) division.

This match carried extra weight: it was neither the first nor the second encounter between the two. It was the third chapter of a rivalry that, this time, put the interim title on the line. Molnar entered as the titleholder, but it was Kimluay who left the ring with the knockout and the championship.

According to a post by Muay Thai Authority, Kimluay knocked down Molnar with an elbow strike in the second round. This detail has yet to be officially confirmed and should be treated with caution. What is confirmed is the outcome: a knockout victory and a new interim champion at 140 pounds for Rajadamnern.

Kimluay, known in the circuit as "Kimluay Wan Kong Ohm" (ลูกยิม "วันของโอม", as noted by journalist Mr. Pong), gains prominence in the division. Overcoming a familiar opponent in a third fight and securing the title added special significance to the victory.

Prior to the fight, the promotional poster mentioned a purse of 350,000 baht, which included the win bonus and the knockout bonus. This amount was part of the promotion; there is no confirmation of how much was actually received. The event was broadcast on DAZN.
