Raul Rodriguez of Bakersfield improved his MuayThai record to 6-0 Aug. 28 with a unanimous decision over veteran William Sriyapai (27-8) before 3,500 at the Star of the Desert Arena in Primm, Nev.
Muay Thai is a form of kick boxing that emphasizes knees and elbows. Sriyapai, who is also a kickboxer, recently was inducted into Masters Hall
of Fame. Rodriguez knocked Sriyapai down in the fourth round.

the Las Vegas Hilton, WCK Muaythai show.
