00:00Hard inside low kick, landed by Tawanchai as Masaaki Noiri continues to press.
00:15Nice, beautiful push kick sends Noiri stumbling backwards.
00:20Yeah, he's keeping Noiri at this range here and part of that is Noiri's not pressing in
00:25the way that he normally does. He's showing Tawanchai quite a bit of respect,
00:28allowing him to circle out that way.
00:32Tawanchai fires off.
00:36The kick of his own as Noiri goes up top.
00:40There's that kick punch that Tawanchai uses so beautifully.
00:46He throws up that roundhouse kick and before the foot he comes off,
00:50he's sticking left hand right. Nice little two hook combination to the low kick.
00:56The punch combination that Tawanchai does, it's quite difficult to throw,
00:58especially with the power that he throws with because he's throwing that left leg
01:02with power and then he throws the left punch off of that because typically
01:06if you throw a shot, your body is cocked for the opposite side to come.
01:10Tawanchai is definitely a limited edition type fighter,
01:14a rare athlete who is capable to do pretty much anything he wants in there.
01:20Going up top as Masaki Noiri looks to apply a lot of pressure,
01:26but he's just running into a lot of pinpoint accurate shots, Rich.
01:30And the scary thing is that Tawanchai is only 25 years old.
01:38Beautiful two-three combination there, he circles out.
01:42Move, move on, not move.
01:44He can't sit there on the ropes for a second and spin.
01:46Noiri needs to find something to earn some respect.
01:51Tawanchai.
01:52Noiri came in and was able to get his back on the ropes.
01:55Tawanchai just matadored his way right back off these ropes.
01:59Noiri's on the inside here, now he needs to let go.
02:01But he allows Tawanchai once again to escape.
02:04He's doing all the hard work and then once he gets to where he can reach the benefits,
02:07he's letting Tawanchai off the hook.
02:09Beautiful left kick to left hand combination landed yet again as he goes inside the leg.
02:15The speed of Tawanchai has shifted gears.
02:20Let's see if Noiri can match it.
02:22What if I know?
02:24How good?
02:25Good.
02:26Good.
02:27Tawanchai's doing a good job.
02:28This is rare for him to use the jab as a...
02:32As a...
02:33Keep the range.
02:34Good right hand landed by Noiri.
02:37As he continues to stay right in front of Tawanchai.
02:41Noiri needs to get to the inside like that and continue with that volume.
02:46Right there.
02:47I like the way he's cutting off the ring right there.
02:49But Tawanchai's smart with the push kick.
02:52You can see momentary glimpses of that Philly shell where Noiri's trying to create a little bit of head movement to counter.
02:59But the disrupting shots of that push kick really hinder Noiri's ability to find a rhythm
03:05as he's trying to get going here in the second.
03:07Noiri's not just...
03:08He's just not getting as close to Tawanchai as he normally does to his opponent.
03:13So Tawanchai still has that...
03:14When he wins that...
03:15This is that South Pole quarterback's matchup that we're talking about.
03:18Right there.
03:19He wins that outside battle of the lead legs.
03:22So Noiri can't throw the real calf kick.
03:25And Tawanchai's able to count from the left.
03:27Nice and stiff right hand from Noiri there.
03:29I like to see him follow that right hand up with something.
03:33He's been able to land successfully with that right hand.
03:37I like to see the volume count.
03:39The combinations start to flow from Masaaki Noiri.
03:43He's a great job of mixing the levels as well.
03:45Going body to the head to the legs.
03:48Let's see if he can start to put some copies together as he lands with a big right hand.
03:52Asaaki Noiri presses forward.
04:01As Tawanchai falls at the lead hand.
04:04Can't punch again.
04:10Four punch combination.
04:12Narrowly missing the mark for Tawanchai.
04:14Good defense showcased by Noiri.
04:17That's where Noiri needs to pull the trigger once he gets to the inside.
04:27Good right hand again landed by Noiri.
04:30I like that step in knee from Tawanchai.
04:32Even if it doesn't land it gives Noiri something different to think about so that he can reset.
04:36Take that push kick right there.
04:38Matador is way back out to the center.
04:41Definitely the strike count is in favor of Tawanchai.
04:45Let's see as we reach the halfway point of this match if Noiri can increase the volume.
04:50Or if he's going to choose to pick his shots carefully.
04:54And choose power over volume.
04:57Noiri needs to be careful with that left leg because you can see his entire right arm there.
05:03Big step in knee right there again by Tawanchai.
05:06Nice follow up by Noiri.
05:08He needs to get busy.
05:10Whoa!
05:13Masaki Noiri knocking down Tawanchai in the third round.
05:21Noiri looking as surprised as the commentary booth.
05:26Masaki Noiri is bringing the heat, Rich.
05:28And the crowd is on their feet right now.
05:29This is completely undisputed.
05:30And the fans are finally in the third round.
