As far as the crowd at New York's iconic Madison Square Garden was concerned, Srisaket, nicknamed 'Laem', was an unadvertised commodity. A bloody 12-round slugfest followed and Srisaket won the fight through a split decision, 114-112, 114-112, 113-113. It was a close fight and the decision could have gone either way. The bout was on the undercard of the main fight won by unanimous decision by middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin over Daniel Jacobs. Both were very close fights, high level of class and competition, in reality, none of the four boxers deserved to lose.
