TawaritNoi SKVGym vs Petchnameck
Undercard:
Kongnakon Sakpadriew vs Richard Cadden
Rnd 1 both fighters exchanged kicks and punches. Looked like they were just warming up in the round, but Kongnakon seemed to have landed a few more hard, solid, left kicks (fighting southpaw). Towards the end of the first, there was a skirmish at close range, and Richard had gotten cut by an elbow, on the right side of his forehead. Not such a serious injury, but I bet that hurt.
Rnd 2 both fighters started strong, the Thai continued with the lft kicks, and Richard had absorbed a bit off the sting of a very effective high lft kick, with his gloves. Unfortunately, another close range skirmish erupted, and this one resulted in an uppercut elbow, starting deep into the inner right eye of Cadden. Doctor stoppage. Kongnakon Sakpadriew WIN TKO.

TawaritNoi SKVGym vs Petchnameck
Rnd 1
A solid round for both, TawaritNoi put together some hard kicks, even a hard jumping right kick to the body of Petchnamek, but at the end of the round, Petchnamek put it together with some punch/kick combos, followed by kicks to the upper body as well. This being a title bout, the judges turn in the score cards at the end of each round.
Rnd 2
A major battle inside the clinch, exchanging knees! It looks TawaritNoi got off more solid kicks, and cleaner knees to the body. TawaritNoi had some big knees towards the end, and that left Petchnamek struggling at the end, trying to catch up.
Rnd 3
TawaritNoi clearly got in more solid kicks, and more solid knees. Petchnamek definitely out of sync in the 3rd. Watch for Petchnamek to try to make big things happen in the 4th.
Rnd 4
Petchnamek came in off the bat with everything he had, and phased TawaritNoi with some punches! But TawaritNoi wasn’t about to lose the round! He put it all together, controlled the clinch with knees to the body, at range he scored more kicks. Petchnamek got in some kicks as well, but TawaritNoi out scored him this round. They both have proven that they still can compete at this level, to fight for the Thailand Championship.
Rnd 5
At this point the match could’ve been close to even, with a little bit more weight on TawaritNoi. Petchnamek came in hard and accurate with everything he had, and TawaritNoi defended and scored strong. The judges came to a shocking decision: 48:49, 47:49, 48:49 Giving the WIN to Petchnamek by points? Petchnamek Thailand Champion @ |
