Somsak Sithchatchawal (Template:Lang-th; born July 17, 1977 in Lampang, Thailand) is a professional boxer in the super bantamweight (122 lb) division.
In March 2006, Sithchatchawal took part in what later won fight of the year when he challenged WBA Super Bantamweight champion Mahyar Monshipour. Sithchatchawal dropped Monshipour in the first round, and won via TKO in the 10th round to capture the belt. Sithchatchawal lost his WBA world super-bantamweight belt to Celestino Caballero in Sithchatchawal's native country of Thailand on October 4, 2006. Caballero won by TKO by knocking Sithchatchawal down three times in the third round—causing the referee to cease the bout.
His record is 46-2-1-1 (37 KOs). He is a former WBA world super bantamweight champion.
The September 15, 2008, split decision 8th round win of Filipino Joel De La Cruz over Somsak Sithchatchawal, at the Cebu Coliseum, was officially amended to a draw due to apparent error in scorecards tally. Cebu Games and Amusements Board explained that "there was no problem on the scorecards of 3 judges -- Edward Ligas and Salven Lagumbay of the Philippines and Saween Taweekon of Thailand -- after 7 rounds. But, at the end of round 8, Mendoza admitted he thought the 10-9 score in favor of de La Cruz was by Lagumbay and not from the Thai judge. The GAB made the correction and instead of a win, de La Cruz had to settle for a draw. Mendoza said the scorecards read Ligas, 77-74, in favor of de La Cruz, Lagumbay, 76-75, in favor of Somsak while the Thai judge scored it 76-76."
