He took unanimous decision victory over Hideaki Yamazaki in the quarter final, he went through to the finals upsetting one of the best kickboxers in this category, Yuta Kubo, stopping him in the second round with a right hook, finally defeating Yasuomi Soda and conquering the tournament. Kaew dedicated his win to his father, who died a week before the tournament.[2]
