[@pawoofz]

Was watching this live and was sweating watching these 2 exchanges blows, imbracing the fact that if someone drops the guard at the wrong time it's KO. Tawanchai was on HIGH ALERT with Superbon's highkick, at 3:56 you can see after Tawanchai missing the kick and spinning, his hand were up as superbon threw a right high kick. Scary stuff. These high level exchanges are so much fun to watch, looking at their eyes as they calculate their shots and counters. Beautiful.

[@bryankong4412]

At least for 3:56 his hand was still up for that to lessen the damage but I feel like 7:05 was really close in that exchange, I can see possibly Tawanchai getting knocked down or knocked out like Grigorian if he was standing solid instead of giving Superbon a low kick to throw him off balance so that his kick lose power. That feet was already touching the face if you look at 7:56 replay.

[@pawoofz]

@@bryankong4412 Yeah I noticed that too, Superbon in that moment probably thought he had it. It looked like because Tawanchai lean just a little bit to his right, it took away from the whip end of Superbon's kick as well so it touched the neck just after the whip, at the same time he lost his footing.

[@honigdachs.]

That halfway sidekick worked very well for Tawanchai. I feel he kind of shut Superbon down a little bit. That kick kept him at bay very often and Tawanchai seemed a little bit sharper with his defense, it was pretty difficult for Superbon to score.

[@shlulesurasak3197]

[@huwhitecavebeast1972]

Superbon should have been scooping and punishing that front kick.

​@huwhitecavebeast1972 easier said then done. It's hard to catch cause of the angle his side teep is at. It's hard to catch and tawanchai is super fast and powerful with it.

What i love about Thai fighters is they throw everything with such intensity,so hard. I usually move a lot,faint,and then finally myb land a good shot(i am not good yet, my kicks are slow). But watching 2 guys Just throwing full power blows at each other and yet it being a damn high level play instead of a brawl is beautiful

[@King-ws7su]

That side teep Tawanchai uses is similar to Samart's. Such a beautiful technique. Turning that teep to the side provides more range, power, and it's a lot harder to catch. You should check out Samart's side teep if you haven't already.

[@tcp2257]

Yes! Tawanchai has definately the best side teep since samart. Samart still has better hands though, although tawanchais left streight is quite percise, but no match to samarts variety. Samarts footwork is also better, from his boxing experience of course. But tawanchai left kick is reeeeally good.

[@jacobmanalang8162]

loved your commentary. i was trying to find this video and was pleasantly surprised to see your review so quickly! HUGE fight imo

[@justsomebird4285]

Tawanchai’s side teep and weight distribution won him this fight. He was a little more backfoot heavy and his side teep gives just those extra few inches of range to control the distance and therefore the timing of exchanges more often than Superbon. Superbon was a more lead leg heavy to allow him to throw his hard round kick without loading up on it but Tawanchai made sure to continue moving with subtle feints so as not to be frequently targeted by that kick. He also set up his rear leg off of the feints and rhythm set up by the use of his lead leg.

Does Chingiz do Muay Thai

[@charuvitwannissorn8845]

Chingiz won't do a Muay Thai fight. Tawanchai is still adapting and said he needs 1-2 more Kickboxing fights before he can face Chingiz, but I think without Muay Thai clinches and elbows, it will be a very hard fight for Tawanchai.

that's not true, I've been training sanda for 3 years and we don't throw the sidekick like tawanchai, sanda sidekick is the same as taekwondo or karate side kick, what makes it special is the timing, we have better timing, and the reason of why we can use it in real fights is because we spar a lot.

[@mtmatt6111]

That was a really interesting chess match between two kickers in an open stance. Tawanchai using both legs vs. Superbon's back leg. Tawanchai hit Superbon with side teeps whenever Superbon was lead-foot dominant or their feet were lined up which stopped Superbon from being able to kick with his rear leg. And whenever Tawanchai was lead-foot dominant he launched rear leg front and roundhouse kicks. The side teep was an interesting solution for when your opponent gets lead-foot dominance in an open stance. Great fight and great commentary.

[@nathanatwood6743]

[@cttofr]

So much speed skill and power, what a match.. lots of headhunting though from both, I want to say old school buakaw might have landed or at least gone for some devastating liver shots on these styles 😮

Buakaw LOVE, low kick, and high teep back in his prime. Doesn't matter if you block it. He'll blow right through it. It's scary. He's just slowly walk down his opponent.

[@elserpientethechamp2122]

What an amazing win by Tawanchai, honestly, he got all 5 rounds in my opinion, Superbon was great too, landing lots of elbows, when they were up close, but I felt that Tawanchai, was more on point, with his sweeps and throws, and he had so much success with utilizing that hybrid between a front kick and a side kick AKA side teep, overall, amazing performance by both of these amazing fighters, thank you so much Gabriel, for covering this amazing fight on your channel, massive appreciation! 🎉

[@zacharyjoyce3938]

Yeah. I thought superbon won the 4th round overall cause of the nice elbows he was landing. But towards the last min of that round tawanchai was a lot stronger. The 3rd and 5th were a lot more competitive but tawanchai still took those

[@erutjavecekad9588]

I think this is the first time Superbon has fought a Muay Thai match in One Championship. In addition, it was probably the first time he fought wearing small gloves, so Superbon fought very cautiously and not so aggressively.😗🤷

[@dreadknot2238]

This is like watching two Renaissance fighting at the highest level there soo aware of each other technique that they don't even telegraph it, it just come outta nowhere and BAAAM! headshot! .

[@jeffyu82]

as a fellow southpaw, i think the reason why superbon is unable to circle effectively is due to the stance positioning of Tawanchai and the way he counter, the risk reward is too big for superbon to circle around him. another side note is that if you notice tawanchai past fight and foot work its obvious that he has flat feet and he is making it in his advantage by being extreamly stable and powerful in his left kick

[@user-he2qi1yp6s]

Good lesson of muaythai.

[@StrangerThing369]

[@richartist40]

Samart's big toes were very big and strong and he used to twist them in to the abs to soften them up ..After 3 or 4 strikes he could take the wind out of them with the 5th..Extra reach combined with the big toe twist really surprised a lot of his opponents..

[@aquaticlibrary]

[@narfed]

7:05 that slip/sweep is actually a kick to the groun that launched Superbon into the air. I watched it in slow motion at least 10 times to confirm lol. It's quite remarkable that he got hit so directly into his groin at an upward angle and missed his nutz lol.

What are the rules on cups? Can you have one that fits like a diamond cup but is somewhat spikey on the outside to deter deliberate low strikes?

[@manudewi]

I'm four rounds in and the fith is about to start: Just want to see Superbon starting the exchange with a lead liver hook while stepping outside to cross the distance: Stepping outside to get out of the centerline (out of Tawanchais front kick) and further away from Tawanchai round kick. What you think, is this an option for Superbon?

[@dwill1804]

Tawanchi throws that teep just like Samart used to, requires a ton of hip flexibility and strength thats why not everyone can do it that way but its so hard to deal with.

Elder brother vs younger brother.

[@Shojushoju]

As a martial arts instructor, I've had an interesting observation when teaching my students (children) to do a side kick: they naturally perform a side teep (Thai Side Kick) more easily than a traditional karate/taekwondo style side kick. Perhaps the push kick (both front and side variations) are more bio-mechanically natural than karate style "front snap kicks" and "side kicks." I'm now thinking about teaching the side teep BEFORE teaching the side kick. Hmm.. thoughts?

[@sineenartruckprated5713]

Naturally, the age difference for the one whose physical advantage remains fresher , more durable than 9 years older. Meanwhile Tawanchai possess the champion tittle during his golden age and prime and be ready to reach the other top tilttles . Compare with Superbon who has successfully passed his prime and hard to remain to bring back his golden era. However , I still respect and appreciate for those he has done to promote Muay Thai arts and conveyed them to the next generations.

[@unknownentity8256]

7:36 yea his base got wobbled by Tawanchai's inside low kick. Incredible defense afterwards nice recovery, this fight was such a chess match I've been just replaying the sequences over and over.

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

@12:15 First few rounds Tawanchai used Superbon moving his head slot to the outside as a cue to attack. After awhile he stopped attempts and toyed with the other side a bit, then settled for head-on.

[@WadeSmith-oe5xd]

The fighter who establishes the better straight kick is going to win when it goes to the score cards most of the time, and he'll even land more powerful shots much of the time too. I've watched the entire fight 3 times now and I gave Tawanchai every round except the first, and I gave him a 10-8 round no the 4th round due to a solid knockdown, which i'm pretty sure wasn't just a slip.

12:11 - 12:27 damn all those ellbows. Holy sheet. How do they not break their jaw/nose? Must be hurting to chew for a while after the fight. I agree with Gabriel Superbon should be first more than on concentrating on just countering. But ofcourse its easier said than done against Tawanchai.

[@aldavedesierdo42]

I don't like how Superbon is very careful and inactive that's why Tawanchai is dictating the pace landing long attacks on him. And also, it's very weird seeing Superbon fighting Muaythai where at all times I see him fighting with big gloves on.

[@Ninjacob00]

From the start I noticed Tawanchai was winning the outside foot position that gives southpaws like myself the advantage. Seems like Superbon had a hard time finding good angles to counter and initiate because many of his strikes were just barely off target because of the foot position

[@sleepysloth1821]

I agree. Superbon seemed to want to take the centre of the ring and to stand square with Tawanchi. Looked to me like this meant that he would repeatedly end up circling into the inside position and would be punished with a round kick. Then seeing his own returning round kicks being less effective because he was inside.

[@Ninjacob00]

@@sleepysloth1821 not sure if it was intentional but I feel like when Tawanchai fixes his shorts it allows him to distract superbon and get to the outside super sneaky

Hey Gabriel if you like Tawanchai side teep, you should check samart payakaroon, his side teep is even better.

[@jenniturtleburger3708]

Tawanchi has super hard punches.

[@WadeSmith-oe5xd]

Anyway ,the only way to block a front kick/side teep that fast is to watch the champ's center of gravity and anticipate the kick by watching his hips torque. When you see his hips torque, you need to lightning fast lower that elbow an inch or two and bring your own knee up to your elbow. You CANNOT lower your guard to try to block or catch that kick vs a world class fighter, because you will get pounded in the face by his jab-cross and won't be able to block that if you're busy holding onto his leg.

[@fgfgdsrgtgertgertg7123]

I think Superbon was better during the exchanges with his punches and elbows and won round 1, 3 and 4. But it’s very close and understandable why the judges gave it to Tawanchai. Tawanchai landed tons of teeps and the judges probably prioritised those teeps more. The sweeps and dumps usually don’t count on the scorecards though, if it wasn’t under tradition Thai rules.

[@ManSantichai]

You can see Superbon slow down a lot in rd 4-5 after tanking all those teeps and left kicks. Tawanchai kinda gassed too but Superbon surely took more damage.
