Superlek came from a lower weight class and was very much smaller than Dekker. He really had a heart of a lion to stand toe to toe and exchange punches with the hard punching Dekker.

[@8limbedwarriornakmuay175]

bp Superlek best weight was 118-122 lbs at that time and yet during this fight he moved to 135 lbs and fought Dekkers who was at 138 lbs. This was the second fight meanwhile Dekkers won the first fight and Superlek win the third fight.

Random Error The best weigh of Superlek at that time was 118-122 lbs, 24 days before his fight against Dekkers Superlek beat the all time great Wangchannoi Sor Palangchai and yet in this fight against Dekkers he went 13 to 17 pounds up in order to make it to 135 lbs and fight Dekkers who was 138 lbs all of that in only 24 days after a tough win over an all time great. The fight between Superlek and Wangchannoi 24 days earlier was most likely between 118 to 122 pounds. After all Wangchannoi and Superlek did fight twice for the 122 lbs Lumpini title so the non-title fight between them 24 days prior to Superlek vs Dekkers was most likely between 118 to 122 lbs. So after his win against Wangchannoi, Superlek 24 days after went from 118-122 lbs to all the way to 135 lbs and fight Dekkers was who 138 lbs. Superlek in only 24 days after one of his greatest win moved 13 to 17 lbs up from his best weighclass which was 118-122 lbs and fought Dekkers who was at 138 lbs so Dekkers was 16-20 lbs above Superlek best weigh. And still Superlek beat Dekkers and won round 2-3-4-5. That's probably the greatest win for a Thai fighter against a foreigner in history considering Superlek just got his biggest win 24 days ago and in 24 days Superlek went from 118-122 lbs to 135 lbs and beat a peak Dekkers who was 138 lbs. Superlek in only 24 days after one of his biggest win bloated 13-17 pounds up and beat Dekkers at Dekkers best weigh at the time ( 138 lbs ) which was was 16-20 lbs bigger than Superlek best weigh at the time ( 118-123 lbs ).

The ref didn’t save Superlek at all he did an 8 count and the round ended. Also the scoring system of Muay Thai in Thailand’s Stadiums is not round based so you can’t just say that Dekkers won round 1 ( 10-8 ) and won round 2 ( 10-9 ) while Superlek won round 3-4-5 ( all 10-9 ) so it is a draw. Second round was pretty even and in round 3-4-5 Superlek easily won.

Meaning Superlek went up 3 weighclass : Featherweight ( 122-126 lbs ) , Junior Lightweight ( 126-130 lbs ) and Lightweight ( 130-135 lbs ) in order to fight Dekkers at Junior Welterweight ( 135-140 lbs ) that's why this fight was Superlek weighing at 135 lbs and Dekkers at 138 lbs ( within the Junior Welterweight limit ). Dekkers at 138 pounds at the time was at his natural/best weight and yet he lost to Superlek who went up or was bloated up 13 lbs to 17 lbs past his natural/best weighclass of 118-122 pounds ( Junior Featherweight ) and still Dekkers weighed 3 pounds more than him for this fight : 138 lbs Dekkers against 135 lbs Superlek despite Superlek not having any business fighting at 135 lbs ( he was a top tier Nak Muay at 118-122 pounds not at 135-140 pounds ) and yet he beat up Dekkers for 80% of this fight and in round 2/3/4/5 it wasn't even close. Dekkers have those weigh advantages against nearly all of his Thai opponents. And the funniest thing is that Dekkers still lost to 75% of his Thai opponents ( 11-29-1-1 that's Dekkers true record against Thai fighters ). Superlek was naturally 5,8 to 7,7 KG ( 13 to 17 lbs ) smaller than Dekkers and yet Superlek beat him up despite Dekkers being 1,3 KG ( 3 lbs ) bigger than him at the weigh-in ( 138 vs 135 lbs ).

Disgusting! Fight should have been over in first round when the thai fighter was knocked out and didn't know where he was. Instead, the biased referee did an entire count without once looking at the fighter to see if he was fit to continue. The entire count he was looking to ringside to cue him to allow it to continue even though the fighter never lifted his gloves back up to signal he could continue. Follow up by holding Dekkers back with excessive towel wiping to give the thai extra time to recoup and break Dekkers momentum. Dekker is a lion to have thrived as a fighter during this "golden era". If there was even remotely close to fair circumstances he would have been unbeatable.

Lol. Mate, that "Excessive Towel Wiping" was the Bell. Listen closely and you can hear it... Also, its common that a fighter can get up and fight even after being seemingly unconscious for a sec or 2 - happens a lot in thailand if you actually watch some more fights so that can't legitimately be used as a Bias Call as it happens more in thai vs thai fights. Even if he did do the proper 10sec count to call it off, the bell may have saved him barely in time So yeah he won that first round, but the bell would have saved Superlek anyway imo -- Just bad timing I reckon.
