Ya know he wasn't just clinching he was landing knee after knee in those positions and separating within the allotted 3 seconds allowed. Knees do count. He went after Petro where he is weakest, and why a lot of people say Petro wouldn't be as good in full MT rules.

It was a really close fight and could have went either way. I would have preferred to see Petro move on but it is what it is. Now they can set up the fight with Yod.

no petrosyan landed more clear shots it was close but he still did more than enough.
 
I would have warned him for excessive clinching it wasn't a muay thai fight.

and about the roids people were talking about you can clearly tell petrosyan started roiding in the last couple of years it's the truth and I am petrosyan fan but you can tell he still won though.

Warn him for what? Their rules allow for 3 seconds of active clinching. You can clinch, knee, seperate and repeat as much as you want. He wasn't holding on to Petro and stalling the fight. The ref wasn't having to break them up.

Definiely Petrosyan should have won that fight. The Thai did look like he was overly clinching quite a bit to avoid hard punches which did clearly start to wear him down and take the wind out of his sails. He looked awkward and desperate. He was backing away at the end and just moving in to clinch/avoid solid shots. I barely saw a good knee from him, but Petroysan knocked him to the canvas and stunned him very well several times. He made more numerous, accurate hits. I agree with those who say it's not Muay Thai but rather kickboxing and thus should have been scored accordingly. And It really takes away from the flow of the fight to see someone clinch to survive the bout because he can't strike worth shit. Not to mention boring as hell.
 
Maybe I saw a different fight. I saw active clinching with punch evasion, not desperation survival clinching. There was nothing wrong with the tactics used, if you don't want to stand and trade punches their are other means to win the fight.

Apparently now if you have a disadvantage at boxing you have to keep trading punches anyway until you lose a decision. God forbid you slip Petrosyan's punches and clinch/knee - it's "unfair" even if the rules clearly allow it.
 
The way petrosyan likes to fight is to control the distance and pace of a fight and pick his shots. Petmorakot played his game in the first round and lost it clearly. It was a good adaption by petmorakot and his corner to realise if they continued like that they would lose the fight. He came out the second round controled the pace, took petrosyan out of his rythm, crowded him and landed some good knees, one or two left kicks and some punches. The third round he didn't land as much as the 2nd but did enough to win it.
 
Since when is backing away a bad thing? He was trying to look like he was playing with Petrosyan. Usually see that kind of backwards movement with hands down when you got the other guy figured out.

Why are people acting like Petrosyan punches got all blocked slipped and rolled with and Phet landed clean while it was actually close to the opposite? I mean the cleanest punch Petro got hit with was the left hand that gave him the black eye wich I'll admit was the best blow of the fight, but it was Phet who got his head snapped back for most of the fight even tho he started blocking and deflecting with his forearms very good towards the end of the fight. Also Petrosyan edged him in kicking exchanges, the only place Phetmorakkot clearly controlled the fight in was in clinch range with knees wich shouldn't score if it goes on longer than 3 seconds, but hey it seems kickboxing magically turned into muay thai, I guess nowadays that's called being crafty just like with low blowing in boxing lol

And don't come at me with "but Petrosyan face" lmao of course being a fighter he wasn't happy he just got clinch raped, if that was muay thai rules he would have been dominated easily and that's not good for a fighter's ego, especially cause Petrosyan base for kickboxing is still muay thai.

We aren't. Literally everyone said it was a razor close fight that could have went either way.

But he wasn't actively clinching beyond the allotted time. I must have missed the referee warning him? A low blow is an illegal technique, nothing Phet did was illegal...
 
Chatri said he thinks Petrosyan won . As far as i know ONE is considering overturning result and i hope it happens .

A lot of Thais will clinch for extended periods and I can see how you can complain about that in KB, but Petmorakot was clinching and separating within seconds. It never felt like a stalling tactic, it never felt like he was trying to hang out in the clinch, he was rapidly moving in and out of the range. If you want a fight with zero clinching the result is the Chuck Norris bowl fighting league.

even if you don't like the decision, that fight was still reasonable close for that to be a horrible decision.

Man ONEFC seems to be taking over everything, MMA, MT, and KB. Definitely putting on better KB shows than glory or bellator......and since they are doing the MT in the cage with MMA gloves...I am wondering if ONEFC will overtake Lumpinee and raja? Seems they are paying more on ONEFC as well.
 
With 1 million on the line you can't overturn that close of a fight. It was not a robbery. That would be a travesty if they did that to Phet.

Unfortunately I'd hate to see out of that 1 million what he would get versus his camp/handlers.
 
I had it 29-29. I though petrosyan won the first. I had Phet winning the second as he scored the best/cleanest punch of the fight and had good knees in the clinch. I scored third a draw. Since one does not allow draws and forces the judges to choose a winner I did not have a problem with phet winning

I was there at the event. Was totally sold out, really great night of fights.

I didn't understand why Sage came out with his hands so low, and was thinking he is going to get clipped, and a few seconds later he got caught.

The Petroysan fight, that was really disappointing.Petroysan won that fight, he definitely got robbed.

Holzken, he looked a bit off than his usually self

All in all was a great event.
Singapore was an amazing city

Did you notice they indicated a 7pm start time on the tickets but started the fights at 5?

I (along with everyone else) missed Askerov vs Kehl because of that
:(

Who the hell is gonna be there at 5 on a work day?

This card was too stacked lol
