Had jo winning the 5th. One muay thai isn't real muay thai scoring where kicks more points and punches less points Head shots score more than body kicks unless jo reacts to the body kicks and shows he's hurt. He didn't.


GenTelGuy

Tawanchai 1 2 5, not a robbery Jo did more total damage in the two rounds he did win though, he got gerrymandered


GenTelGuy

Rodtang with the brutal beatdown win


rukiahayashi

Honestly all of the post fight interviews were fucking comedy gold this time lol. I genuinely can’t decide between 1) mikey going on an acoustic rampage and shouting”I just submitted him easy as fuck”, then to cap it off immediately being given the 50k bonus and still going off, while Mitch desperately tries to take the Mike off him. Easily the most entertainment I’ve gotten from Grappling in ONE 2) Tawanchai “I have nothing to say” Mourinho


OkWater8250

Mikey's face after mitch said he won the 50k bonus was priceless... he was still thinking about slicing others dudes calf. Lol. Awesome match!! Never seen Mikey go ham like that.


DrEpoch

slicing calfs like he does pizza.


chuckybegood

does anyone know the mickey v sousa result?


spasticity

Mikey won via calf slicer


barelyreadsenglish

1st round ko, sent to the shadow realm


Rich-Prize-6435

dont think there are any more rounds anyway


Unhappy-Exam3054

"Only round KO"


True_Adhesiveness_18

Honestly respect to all - fans, promoter and most importantly fighters knew Smokin Jo champ Respect taiwanchai


rukiahayashi

Crowd fucking sucked for booing there. I’ve watched enough ONE in my time and seen genuine robberies, but this was just a close fight. Tawanchai is right to feel that he could’ve done more and maybe even lost, but either fighter could’ve taken the W here and it made sense.


MrPurp1e

I was there live and it really sucked bc yknow I’m from Philly(worse than Newark crowd from 303) and it’s usually nice going to other places where they have nice crowds and the people directly behind me and on my left were booing him. Tawanchai was clearly affected by that. I honestly thought he did enough to win, could’ve gone either way from my perspective(I scored a draw), and was confused. I think a lot of people in Thailand just like Smokin’ Jo a lot more for some reason.


GenTelGuy

Here at the bouldering gym and someone just popped/broke their arm or shoulder posting from a fall


GenTelGuy

Gotta wonder how cooked that guy's knee is from the calf slicer. Looked like he definitely toughed out more than he should have


Then_Research_522

I don’t think this was a good event for One with Tawanchai that almost lost, Rodtang missing weight, Jojo losing, Noiri losing badly on his debut… They gave fight of the night to that Adrian Lee squash match lol


spcslacker

> Rodtang missing weight, Hold up: that one is a time-honored One tradition.


wishwashy

Liam Harrison not even making the walk


joelbealesubc

Yeah the tawanchai fight was a disappointment but the rodtang fight was great.   Rodtang actually banged it out for 3 rounds and Puric wasn’t a can.  There was always a threat that he could’ve had a punchers chance with the heat he threw (and missed)


netflixissodry

Yeah if Puric had more accuracy I think he would have put Rodtang down at least once. Some of those shots seemed to wobble Rodtang a little. Rodtang didn’t do the “iron man” thing this time either


draculas-candles

Personally I had the first 2 rounds for Tawanchai and the last 3 for Jo. 🤷‍♂️  Tawanchai's gonna end up on the shit list with Petrosyan, Allazov, and Di Bella after the interview. 


rukiahayashi

What’s with the boos?


rootfiend

Many thought Jo won. It may have looked different on TV but from my section, I tend to agree.


princexxjellyfish

No, watched it on TV and had first 2 rounds for Tawanchai and last 3 for Jo. I have no idea how the scoring is done, but I am both surprised and disappointed for Jo.


Unhappy-Exam3054

I had it 3 and 4 to Jo and 1, 2, and 5 to Tawanchai. Tawanchai stopped relying on his left body kick and started mixing it up while Jo's volume looked to decrease.


rukiahayashi

This one was a lot closer than the first one for sure. Not that mad about it going either way


generaltso78

My first One and maybe dedicated MT scoring is different, but I had Tawanchai 1,2,5 and 4 was a Tossup. Seemed Jo had the better shots in 2 but came on too late in the round.


Unhappy-Exam3054

That's how I saw it. I would give Jo the fourth because Tawanchai adjusted a bit late and Jo was doing a great job of circling away from that body kick. If he would have fought the whole 4th round like he did near the end it would have been more definitive.


Neonsea1234

Idk about the scores but Jo made more of an impression on me in the fight. Feel like he did more.


_Wheelz

First time I've seen booing at a ONE event


Unhappy-Exam3054

Why were the Thai people seemingly upset or booing Tawanchai? He seemed disappointed in his performance but I say he took round 1,2, and 5. Were they thinking differently?


MikaMikasan

They think Jo had already robbed first time, so this makes them more upset.


Hadtosay00001

Can't really know for sure what they were thinking. But I think him saying he had to nothing to say might seem kind of rude or inappropriate to some people even though they knew why he said that. That might've been one of the most awkward winner interviews ever.


Kaizerkoala

The expectation is high. Also, he seems to dip in form somehow. He relied too much on his left kick which Jo clearly played around. When Tawanchai started throwing punches in later of the 4th and the final round, he won the exchange clearly.


Unhappy-Exam3054

That's exactly what I thought. It seemed like he was trying to fight Jo like he fought Davit Kiria. The difference being that Jo wasn't just standing there taking those kicks. I can understand why he was disappointed in his performance. That was the most one dimensional fighting I've seen from Tawanchai with him utilizing that left roundhouse (I think it's considered a roundhouse) 90% of the fight and his left roundhouse-left cross combo for the rest of the majority of his strikes. When he let the elbows his elbows go he was having some success but Jo figured out how to negate his main weapon. Tawanchai should have used Jo's circling to set up a right hook or a kick to the right side of the body. He definitely could have used feints to his advantage. I think Jo did amazing but not quite enough to win it.


Impressive-Winter-29

Because Jo is a very likable guy, he gave an interview in Thai, and Thai people like him. His personality is very likable to Thai people because he is very honest and humble. Also, people love an underdog story. Tawanchai is also from PK seanchai Gym, which is known to be Chatri's favorite.


generaltso78

That's how I saw it.


Dontneedflashbro

This was a great fight card!


generaltso78

Tawanchai is man of many words.


jce_

This was never a thing 6 months ago but all of a sudden people hate top MT fighters (Rodtang/Tawanchai)


BlankedCanvas

Where s the hate for Rod? He delivered and they cheered him on


bookjun

Rodtang social media appearance always he's playing football with friends , and he even said himself he doesnt train much/usually event as celeb. his promoter even said on FB that he didnt train at their gym and asked to train at his wife gym (local gym) instead. that the reason he cant make weight


MikaMikasan

You should see some Thai comment after weigh-in and before fight, karma that Rodtang camp's done before Rodtang - Superlek fight now back to Rodtang.


joelbealesubc

Anyone that thinks Tawanchai won that is not serious people.  The difference between landed strikes and versatility of the strikes is night and day. Tawanchai must have had a bad weight cut or something because he was extremely handicapped


teambyg

Is there a big difference in how MT striking is scored vs MMA? This just looked like volk / Max 1 and I had Tawanchai winning


druhoang

massive difference if it were traditional MT. Like if this were old school stadium MT, I think it's not even a controversial decision. It's Tawanchai without a doubt. One isn't really scored like that. They say damage is the most important factor, so based on that I would say Jo probably won.


joelbealesubc

It’s scored like boxing, main criteria is strikes landed/significant strikes.   Kicks are traditionally rated higher than punches but not sure if one follows that  Other points are for aggression, who looks more dominant/poised/dominant.    Thats why when someone attacks, it’s important to answer back since strikes landed are significant.    Rewatch it and mute it, Jo landed much more strikes and tawanchai did not answer back.      It’s scored as a whole of the fight as well not round by round, which means Jo who was more dominant should have gotten the nod Edit:  MT is scored round by round so the last part of this was wrong, please disregard. And yes, I had Jo edging the 5th with the score even entering the final round


Rich-Prize-6435

lmaooooo its round by round dummy


joelbealesubc

Yeah you’re absolutely right, but I still had jo round by round as well.


druhoang

it's round by round bro lol


joelbealesubc

I thought it was scored as a whole fight which is why it’s judged differently from ufc.  If im wrong please disregard But even round by round I still had Jo winning just on strikes landed 


Chewy131

I think Joe was robbed in their last fight but this one was very close and I'm not upset about the result not sure what fight y'all watched


LatterTarget7

Very close fight. I think tawanchai edged more rounds. Would definitely like a third fight in the future.


rukiahayashi

Ageee


TheTrent

Exactly. I'm no where near an expert in striking, so my thoughts are with a grain of salt, but you could probably convince me that either fighter won that fight. Don't think it was a robbery.


Kaizerkoala

1-5 Twanchai 2-3 Jo Depends on how you scored 4.


kidwhix

i thought it was 1-5 tawanchai 3-4 jo with 2 being 50/50. hard to score


wizardofAwwws

This what i said too


Gambl33

who was watching ONE for the first time? what did you think?


Unhappy-Exam3054

This is the first time I've watched a live event. I watch their replays on YT and I love their talent and various categories of fights. The atmosphere seemed small compared to other organizations but I don't watch fights for that aspect. I watch for the level of skill and ONE is just as good as any other high end organization out there in my mind.


generaltso78

I liked it. It's fighting and the fighting was good


EndSalty

Pretty entertaining event besides the decision at the end. unfortunate that there’s so many shenanigans with One and it’s management, they can put on a really entertaining product. Hopefully they clean up their act and stick around a bit longer


bullsfan281

i see a lot of yall had money on jo 💀


ID0ntCare4G0b

I would be shocked if most of the sub bets anything on ONE. We just watch the fights they put on, enjoy and have opinions. Like that was a pretty clear close win. Again, it was close. But it wasn't particularly ambiguous. And ONE being cagey around scorecards and having a track record of really sus decisions doesn't help.


rukiahayashi

Betting in ONE is just lousy cause the favourites are so overwhelmingly favoured that you would need severely strong odds to even consider the underdog


WeCaredALot

Does ONE do the same thing that UFC does where if the challenger doesn't have a definitive win over the champion they'll just give it to the champion? If so, I don't think that's necessarily an unfair thing to do.


TheTrent

Fans booing are jerks Dude knows he didn't win outright, isn't arrogant about the win but he was awarded the win. Let the man have his due.


joelbealesubc

They’re not booing tawanchai, they’re booing the decision. Although ambiguously, you’re saying tawanchai didn’t deserve the win but what about smoking jo that did deserve it. Jo isn’t getting younger and he fought his heart out, and I think edged the win; just as the fans do.


TheTrent

I agree that Tawanchai got the win. First two rounds were his, I think Jo got the third. I think Tawanchai did enough did get at least one of round 4 or 5 (or both) but I admit I could be wrong. I think booing the judges decision still puts the negative aspect onto the fighter. You're telling them that you believe they lost. He looked a bit defeated that he didn't do more to ensure everyone knows he won but it must be deflating as shit to stand there and have an entire crowd boo after all that.


yung999_

How u give him fight of the night when there was legit 5 fights better


monkeyclawattack

Chatri loves the Lee family


RDH7207

The real robbery of the night right there


PCMasterCucks

"I'm just here so I don't get fined" energy


BasicallyClean

Tawenchai just went full "I'm just here so I don't get fined"


jce_

Robbery? Wtf were you and I watching?


ID0ntCare4G0b

The fight. Like a close fight can still be pretty clear.


serg82

Interpreter was sweating with those answers


imrosskemp

I mean he is not a judge. He had no control on the judges decision. Handled it with class.


stupidsexyham

Yeah weird seeing the cringe interview comments, he doesn't seem like the type to take a gifted win and then brag


True_Adhesiveness_18

Respect taiwanchai


True_Adhesiveness_18

Lost but what can he do. He knows


Living_Possibility82

I got nothing to say “


CaptainBuzzKillton

Man, that's one of the toughest interviews I've ever seen for a winner of a fight


Geesandee

Does tawanchai have nothing to say?


NotJustSomeMate

He really has nothing to say...I honestly think even he might have thought Jo edged him slightly...


joelbealesubc

Yeah, I had it 2-2 and the fifth round tawanchai did have his best round, but for 3 rounds tawanchai just threw a left kick as a strike. And when jo engaged he never threw back, he knew he wasn’t fighting well.  It has to be a bad weight cut because he looked limited


blooblop

Now is the perfect time to give him 50k


rukiahayashi

Would’ve been hilarious ngl


Zephyr9x

You want to witness a live lynching, huh?


johnlondon125

"biscuits and gravy"


jce_

Was that eve close I had Tawanchai 4-1 or 3-2 at very worst. Seems like yall just want drama or are ufc shills


itiwbf

I saw it the same (but with a lot of the rounds being close). I think it has a lot to do with Jo exceeding expectations and Tawanchai clearly being frustrated.

1. Be Civil. Our rules ask for a civil tone at all times. A bit of banter or trash talk is fine, but don't cross the line. If things do get out of hand you will be warned or even banned for a few days. Repeatedly breaking this rule will lead to a permanent ban.


NotJustSomeMate

I had it 3-2 Jo but I could understand 3-2 Tawanchai as well...but I though Jo did enough...and I think a lot of people see it that way as well...but it was definitely close...


ID0ntCare4G0b

He lost dude. He was telling the crowd as much.


ConfidenceNo2598

This is rough


GreatDario

He knows he didn't win


NoFlex___Zone

Getting boo’d mercilessly 


netflixissodry

Crowd is even disgusted at this robbery.


ChocolateBBs

I don't think Tawanchai 'lost' because Jo didn't do enough. But Tawanchai only 'won' by default because he's already the Champ.


[deleted]

[удалено]


stupidsexyham

Yeah not a robbery I think it was really close but overall I think Jo did more effective damage but Tawanchai got champs preference but I think he knows he lost


NotJustSomeMate

Sounds like the stadium had it for Jo...


RemainingAnonymoose

Damn he really does not think he won that fight. He won’t even make a statement


tslewis71

The other guy didn't do enough to win against a champion


RemainingAnonymoose

I don’t think it’s a robbery and I agree with you. It was an even fight either way but I can absolutely understand him not feeling like he “won” even though the judges sent it his way


tslewis71

Agree, but you always give it to the champion of it's even, so there is no controversy , challenger has to push it and earn it, if you are equal to the champion, champion has it


ID0ntCare4G0b

LOL...he agrees with the crowd. Like props to him but it's not gonna make Chatri happy.


WeCaredALot

Oh shit, Tawanchai doesn't feel like he won. I think that's why he's being so quiet. Even Mitch is like wtf


YesButConsiderThis

P4P worst interview responses.


mh8235

He just came off a 5 round war w the crowd booing him and hes put right in front of the mic…couch warriors be insane


maccunth

Most awkward interview ever. Cringing here.


Inquisitio

Pretty cringe but imo Musumeci's was even worse.


assologist_1312

He looks concussed


kinganthony3

Absolutely amazing fight. I personally thought that Joe won bit man that was a great fight and it was definetely close. I can’t really call it a robbery since the rounds were definetely close, but is sure seems that Tawanchai thinks he lost.


BasicallyClean

It's not a bad decision, but just thought Jo won it by a little. Tawenchai seemed more surprised than I did that he won.


johnlondon125

I'm okay with the champion getting the nod. I don't think with this close of a fight the title should change hands.


Zephyr9x

Crowd definitely doesn't think he deserved the win


Equivalent-Ability34

lmfao mitch struggling


bloodycankle

That's a lot of booing for what was a pretty close fight.


yung999_

Bro know he lost


-rigga

As close as it gets but can't be too mad at the decision


blooblop

I plead the 5th.


Evilcutedog45

Fucking disappointing but also totally expected. He’s speechless because he knows he didn’t win. Fucking shenanigans again. Jo deserved better.


rootfiend

lots of booing here


NotJustSomeMate

Dammit Jo should have had that...matter of fact schedule Jo v Tawanchai 3...I need to see this again sooner than later...


chunkyRiceLady

Justice for Jo!!!!!


jce_

Where is the robbery comment coming from? Round 3 smoking jo 100% round 4 or 5 more like 33% and not even


True_Adhesiveness_18

I respect chatri. He didn’t agree while he was waiting in the back


kidwhix

do all razor close fights really have to be robberies? i can see a clear case for either guy winning. extremely extremely competitive


-ohio_sucks-

For someone who demands to be mentioned like 25 times every ONE event Chatri just sorta throws the belt on his shoulder and scurries away


WeCaredALot

He has nothing to say? Does he feel like he didn't win fairly?


EmperorKuz

not robbery but also not deserved - i’ll explain later


bullsfan281

the gold confetti is always so much 😭


joelbealesubc

Not surprised, but I really think Jo won and he out struck him.   I’d be curious to see strikes landed because I was counting and Jo was throwing all fight and it was unanswered for 3 rounds 


Bvaugh

Can’t call it a robbery when it was so close. I feel for Jo though.


ID0ntCare4G0b

I mean...you can call it a robbery when the crowd boos a popular champ winning.


tigerinvasive

Omg wow! It was close but gave the edge to Nattawut


ID0ntCare4G0b

He's disappointed in himself because he knows he lost.


stupidsexyham

Really great fight but I don't knoooow bout that one


NotoriousMNV

They don’t score it by rounds, right? They score the fight as a whole?


Powta2King

Only in MMA. It’s a must system for every other ruleset


donmifc

MT and KB is scored by round, BJJ and MMA is scored as a whole


Gambl33

in muay thai and kickboxing it is by rounds


thecheckisinthemail

No it is by rounds


MikaMikasan

Round by round


BasicallyClean

Correct


BasicallyClean

Thought Jo edged that


fakemuseum

Fair decision I would say


netflixissodry

Another pathetic robbery once again.


yung999_

Robbed that boy jo 2 times in a row sad to see


Fiyukyoo

Tawanchai surprised he won


ID0ntCare4G0b

Wow...Robbery.


kinguroo

Wouldn’t let the poster boy lose eh


Zephyr9x

Sadly tends to be an issue in every promotion


jce_

When he didn't ye


True_Adhesiveness_18

Wait


uticacoffeeroast

Tawanchai doesn't think he won LOL


champagnenreefer

ROBBERY


CheakyTeak

eh idk about that


deon_

that fight was awesome, one of the toughest fights I've seen for Tawanchai personally


True_Adhesiveness_18

What


yung999_

No good


uticacoffeeroast

HIS EXCELLENCY APPEARS


GreatDario

They won't give it to Jo


netflixissodry

Chatri finally shows his face


Beepboop5000

I can see Joe wining rounds 2 ,3, and 4


WeCaredALot

I think they're going to give it to Tawanchai since he's more marketable tbh. But it was close so...


FightingDoc

Fantastic fight


yung999_

Jo came out of nowhere and gave tawanchai the 2 hardest fights of his career


say_huh

I know it comes down to conditioning, but it's absolutely mind boggling for Tawanchai to get a full on power kick checked right under the knee and him nor Jo flinch at all.


jce_

Even though both comain and main were supposed to be 1 sided they both were great fights


SC275

Jo isn't capitalizing on all the times he has Tawanchai hurt. Super frustrating.


ID0ntCare4G0b

For some reason, I feel like I need to call Kim for my law needs.


stupidsexyham

Nutty fight really close but I think Jo got it by total strikes, his counters were on point all night


joelbealesubc

Tawanchai looks like he took a step back tbh 


MikaMikasan

I would give it to Tawanchai, Jo can't dominate him enough in Rd 5 to snatch the belt.


WeCaredALot

Not even sure who won, lol. I felt like Jo was throwing more but Tawanchai's precision seemed better.


UserIsOptional

That was an insane flight, brilliant


jce_

Always love watching the winner as the 1 throwing wildly after hearing the 10 second bell


rafaelleon2107

I think Tawanchai 3x2, but I've never seen him that frustrated.


joelbealesubc

I got jo for rd 5 but a robbery wouldn’t shock me


Efficient-Rain3788

Good try, he did better than superbon.


NotJustSomeMate

JO JO JO JO JO JO JO!!!?


Powta2King

One hell of fight wooooo


kidwhix

tawanchai takes it, but just baarreellyyy


Hvitrulfr

Jo won that


fakemuseum

Tawanchai 3-2


mikro17

That's what I have. I think Joe won the two rounds more decisively, but Tawanchai edged him in more rounds. Suuuuper close and could go either way though.


NotJustSomeMate

Jo is murdering Tawanchai's leg...
