Kumura had a great start to the fight, as he knocked Jawsuayai with a high kick near the end of the opening round. He knocked his opponent down twice more in the following round, first with a jab counter to a lead leg kick and then with a flurry of punches, with resulted in a stoppage victory for him under the tournament rules.[24] Kumura faced the incumbent K-1 featherweight champion Taito Gunji in the next round of the one-day tournament.
