Controversy Follows ONE Championship Bantamweight Title Bout
Superbon expresses dissatisfaction with the judges' decision following Rambo Lek's loss to Yod-IQ at ONE Championship's The Inner Circle 30.
On September 11, 2026, the ONE Championship 'The Inner Circle 30' event at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok concluded with a contentious result in the main event. Yod-IQ Or. Pimolsri was declared the new ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion after a five-round battle against Rambo Lek Chor. Ajalboon for the vacant title.
Following the match, Superbon, a prominent trainer at Superbon Training Camp, publicly criticized the judges' decision via social media. He expressed frustration, stating that this was not the first time his camp had encountered such scoring outcomes. The fight itself was described as a fierce exchange of strikes, with both athletes trading blows throughout the duration of the bout before the judges ultimately awarded the victory to Yod-IQ.
For residents and visitors in Thailand, this event highlights the intense passion surrounding professional Muay Thai, which remains a cornerstone of the local sporting culture. While the result is officially recorded, the public discourse surrounding the scoring serves as a reminder of the subjective nature of combat sports judging. As of now, there has been no official statement from ONE Championship regarding a potential review of the match or a rematch. Fans and observers continue to debate the outcome, reflecting the high stakes involved in championship-level Muay Thai at iconic venues like Lumpinee.
