I haven't watched all of OFF93 yet but what I saw were all pretty good fights
Goddamn, small gloves MT is the hardest sport in the world. Soner Sen and baby Ondash both won fights that, damn, Ondash especially will still be feeling the effects in like 6 weeks' time. goddamn that ruthless left kick from Kongchai, it did show Kongchai's limitations though, having lost the first round and taken the KD he really needed a KO or multiple KD's to level the scores but he hasn't got the offensive pop in his hands to make that happen. but goddamn, those left kicks to the body, imagine taking all those and feeling like your whole body and arms have been totally destroyed for fucken weeks, and you're the winner ffs
oh also baby Ondash has clearly had a very impactful *strength & conditioning programme* since i last saw him
Soner Sen has a comical 'roid-gut' appearance and his gas tank is like exposing every cliche of muscle-bound low-stamina PED-bloated fighters, he's dynamite in the first round with the in&out feet and the fast hands and combinations but starts to blow very early, i thought he shot his bolt in rd 1- Jim Watt used to say in his boxing punditry, you don't need to win every round by a landslide, sometimes you have to learn just to do that little bit more than the other fellow. He looked a weightclass heavier than Worapon to me, Worapon's limitations seems to be that he is short for the weight and struggles to impose his game technically against good outside fighters on the outside, but he's not an all-out pressure fighter setting a tempo, or at least not early enough in the fight, and like vs Panrit where t was only really in rd3 that he got inside and landed elbows from the clinch, he was just too late imposing his game against Sen. But anyone in future fighting Sen will look at that and know they have always got a shot if they can take Sen late into the fight
Tahaneak Nayokatasala vs. Andrii Mezentsev was a cracking technical war between two good young fighters, I really enjoyed it.
I thought Petlampun, somewhat like Worapon vs Sen, was in the first instance out-done on size and style, he's a measured technician but for a fighter like that its difficult to get his game going against a fighter 4 inches taller with good footwork and skills himself. Ondash out-did my expectations though, the explosiveness with his hands when he let them go and the ruthlessness of the finish wasn't a particular surprise, but the fact he basically dominated the fight technically from outside was a good sign of his level.
some good future matches suggest themselves, I would love to see Soner Sen - Panrit and have a funny feeling that will be on the cards as they both beat Worapon, and One like matching dudes with the dude that previously beat fighter X.
