well at least he wasnt robbedOkay this is good, the judges made the correct winner. But a split??
KvN did that once though, Petch about 5+ times, i'm surprised there was no warning about sweeps for Petch..Vannostrand can sweep and the referee didnt bitch out but not the thai...
Correction accepted. Glory does not appoint refineries.Don't you mean ISKA? They are the commission who hired the referees and judges.
i counted 2 sweeps by petKvN did that once though, Petch about 5+ times, i'm surprised there was no warning about sweeps for Petch..
IMO the 2nd point deduction was deserved, the first one not.. but KvN also fought kinda dirty leaning his weight on Petch in every fucking clinch, good actor
Do you think Petch beats RVR in the rematch?

Thanks bro but I cant lose the pop-ups. My original stream turned into WWE.
Petch looked good in parts, I think he won it mostly from leg kicks. I wish he would have threw more body and head kicks, but it is hard to do it when somebody just runs into the clinch every 10-15 seconds. His knees from the clinch looked like they hurt in rounds 3 and 4 too. It wasn't as exciting as his last fight, but I hope he gets the unified belt.Hard to say right after this abomination of a fight. KvN did all he could to turn it into complete chaos but Petpanomrung didn't help himself either.
I believe it is literally imposible for a thai to negate a lifetime of muscle memory and fight awareness unless they've been kickboxing for several years. Petpanomrung has been kickboxing for only ~2 years and this strategy of instigating a clinch, getting kneed and waiting for a point deduction is very effective against him (not that RvR is gonna resort to that - I just started rambling).
