[@frederickdoyon]

I thought the decision was ok. I would rather take the punches superbon received than all those knees and kick. That being said, if Marat would of got the decision i wouldn't have been upset in the slightest. Superbon look so overtrained recently though. Even in the second Marat fight he looked tired quickly.

[@user-pd9ju5dk5s]

Overtrained or undertrained?

[@frederickdoyon]

@@user-pd9ju5dk5s absolutely overtrained. His routine is crazy and Thais in general train the old ways.

[@Deimian676]

He received it to the guard (the kicks and knees) but those punches that superbon received koed him. So I can’t really make sense of what you’re saying

[@mmee1885]

superbon has left knee injury since round 1 that should explain his changed game plan, but a close fight indeed

[@kr_4745]

I would say 1-2 Superbon, 3-4 Marat. And for the 5th my insight isn’t good enough to judge who was better. So Im good with the decision, but Marat winning would be fine too.

[@clapdrix72]

In KB scoring criteria, kicks to the arms don't score and neither do strikes that don't affect your opponent. I thought Matat edged out 5 with punches that snapped Bon's head back, plus leg kicks that buckled him. Bon's strikes didn't look powerful at all with his obvious fatigue, nor did they seem to affect Marat in the slightest. Not to mention it's generally accepted that a fighter who is clearly, visibly fatigued in a round doesnt win that round unless they get a knockdown or the opponent is even more fatigue. Marat didn't look the tiniest bit tired so that breaks the tie for me.

[@liamjohn6464]

Hey Gabriel I have watched your first fight with Adamchuck a few times and I think you should of won that fight personality

[@MrDrizzyy]

Love hearing your thoughts on fighters Gabriel! Could you do a video on 5 things Sean Strickland does so well for his upcoming fight against Paulo Costa?

[@vinceventura4453]

He doesn’t do anything well besides Perry and jab , he has a decent teep of his lead leg which I guess is kinda impressive for a middleweight but he’s not even a big middleweight so it’s not that Impressive. Honestly the most high level part of Sean’s game is something that rarely sees him using it because of the weight class he is in , it’s his defensive grappling and ability to sweep from bottom , he is deceptively strong . But I’m sure you’re talking about just in a striking sense and that is really it bud he’s not some world class striker or even really a good striker to be honest , he’s durable and he is willing to keep putting on pressure though keeping a stick in your face and once he has you pinned against the cage he will let his two go , he doesn’t like letting his two fly because I think he knows he doesn’t keep his balance well and his feet don’t stay under him when he’s throwing it and he doesn’t want to get caught over extended . No im not a 5x world champion like Gabriel is but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night .

[@outerlast]

yea i thought it's a change of strategy, but seems like he's not in optimal condition.

[@samjohnsonkb]

ONE's scoring criteria goes as follows (starting from most important to least important): Knockdowns, Damage, Strikes Landed, Agression and Control/Ring Generalship. There were no knockdowns, not a lot of visible damage on either fighter, so it mainly comes down to strikes landed and who was being more aggressive and controlling the ring. I have no clue how someone can give Superbon the win based on ONE's offical scoring criteria. Dude landed 2-3 punches for every knee Superbon landed and pressured him the entire fight. It was a close *fight*, but it was not a close *match*. Awful decision

[@Deimian676]

Agreed for the life of me if this was a Muay Thai fight I could see it going to superbon but not under their scoring criteria

[@BoxerKyokushin]

Marat landed more solid punches, but Marat need to train more knee and kick.

[@mikeramos4955]

I think Marat was a lot more active and aggressive. Landed the cleaner shots and I think deserved the win. But at the same time I prefer Thai style 😃

[@saileshnaidu8102]

nah, superbon won 4-1

[@maxkassette1880]

based opinion

[@biglukasabc]

Yeah I think Marat won just by a little bit but superbon is cooler

[@benjaminvuong8269]

I think Superbon needs to work on his anaerobic conditioning e.g., sprints and pull back on the aerobic long-distance running that traditional Thai gryms love. His last fight with Grigorian he could've fought another 5 rounds, but Grigorian really increased the pace this time

[@aethos0]

damn im a huge superbon fan but I dont know if he got that one under kickboxing rules Gabe. Under Traditional Muay Thai rules I see how superbon could've won because of the knees and kicks he was landing. Even then tho, just on the eye test/damage Gregorian was laying it on superbon and superbon gassed out. I was worried about seeing superbon get knocked out.

[@nicolejiang9070]

At least it's a close fight, not like someone said that it's obviously Marat's Win. And nearly no one notices the Marat's double-swollened left thigh?

[@rudro5784]

You can see buakaw's shadow on his style Ps: yeah i know both are from banchamek gym

[@JPMgeo]

Looks like Marat won on face value, may need a more in-depth look however

[@adamtankersley7441]

I’d personally score it 3-2 for Marat. 16:47

[@harithrakurukulasuriya3220]

I honestly thought superbon lost. And he was so out of his normal energy... something was clearly off with superbon.

[@clapdrix72]

If this were MT scoring criteria then it would be Bon, but in KB you have to give it to Marat. It was somewhat close and Bon scored with a lot of knees but with his visible fatigue in the final 3 rounds his strikes didn't look like they had any zip to them, more wet noodles than baseball bats. Nor did it look like they were having any effect on Marat. 48/47 Marat for me, no question.

[@shauncoop74]

Surely in kickboxing, the judges give credit if you actually kick (and knee)? Maybe somebody should tell Grigorian... Sure, he punches harder, but if they're not hard enough to get a knockdown, then technical superiority (including a much higher range of techniques) counts.

[@cpa314]

I think Superbon by split decision but barely... def not unanimous

[@Marshymilz]

I thought you weren't giving superbon enough credit for the amount of stepthrough knees he landed. He did look very fatigued and marat landed the bigger shots though.

[@Deimian676]

He landed on the guard and bicep (majority of them) so no credit deserved

This was a masterclass of a performance from Marat Grigorian in my opinion Gabriel, after rewatching the fight, the first time I watched it I had 4-1 Marat, but after rewatching it again I have Marat again winning the last three rounds of the fight and Superbon edging the first two rounds with his kicks, but overall Marat definetly should have won that and in my opinion that was a controversial decision but overall an amazing fight non the less, very intriguing and exciting to watch!

[@warshrike9075]

I'll preface by saying I'm not a kickboxer, I do Muay Thai. So don't really have a solid grasp on the scoring of kickboxing. But, it definitely looked like that should have gone in the favor of Marat, no doubt about it. Love Superbon, one of my current favorite fighters, but that just was not as solid of a performance as I'd expect out of him. Marat was playing bobble-head with Superbon the whole match and almost nothing Superbon threw seemed to have any effect on Marat, even those solid knees. And Marat also had forward pressure for the vast majority of the fight. I could see a split decision, but not unanimous.

Kickboxing is a joke sport nowadays if people think this fight could have been scored for Grigorian. He ate more knees and more kicks to the body, and more leg kicks but he somehow won because a few punches passed Superbon's guard?? Really, unless there is a finish, kickboxing is a joke nowadays. Ever since clinch and catching kicks were banned. It has now become a sport for people to throw combos in the pocket and exchange leg kicks. Total shit.

AGREE. There is no real clear rule about kickboxing and it changes every now and then. And nobody considers the double-swollen of Marat's left leg means a lot of damage that Superbon did to him... Marat is just too strong to show his damage, but it doesn't mean it's not exist.

Every clown 🤡 in the comment rooting for Superbon talking about Superbon winning because of his knees and kicks. Well did they do one bit of damage to Marat? *Neutralised* is the word to use for Superbon in this fight. Panting away and gasping for air. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again - Superbon is a one trick pony with the high kick to the head. If you neutralise that, you’ve nothing to worry about, just focus on knocking him out. Marat failed in that aspect, and paid for it by letting a weak Superbon win the belt.
