Petchtanong's team for this match is pretty insane: - Superbon (ONE Featherweight Kickboxing champion): game-plan strategist - Nong-O (ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai champion): sparring partner #1 - Petchpanomrung (Glory Featherweight and RISE Super Lightweight champion) : sparring partner #2 - Diesellek (former Rajadamnern champion): pad holder, cornerman - Rodtang (ONE Flyweight Muay Thai champion) : personal bodyguard

Akimoto was trying to strike with to much power full while Fergus was managed the fight with a master class kicks and knees. Congratulations to the booth fighter

what a brutal rib kicks.. !! good gameplan from Petchtanong fighting in a distance..

It was clearly unanimous. Smart fight by Thai fighter.

One of the best fights I’ve ever watched

The judge that scored that for akimoto should never be allowed to judge a fight again

better luck next time my idol Akimoto you did your very best your bravery is in the next level you never run for fight until the end you always face your rival without fear I'm proud of you.... congratulations petchtanong ...

Even with that damaged rib, Akimoto still pressed forward. Kyokushin spirit right there

What a intelligent fighter petchtanong

These guys are on another level 😮

Since Akimoto's kickboxing is based on Karate, Petchtanong got it good by using the knees to counter forward pressure

Very high level step and knee,middle kick combo, Wow!!!

Petch’s Left knee to Akimoto’s right ribs is what won this fight 😊

When did that judge see Akimoto win ANY round????? Akimoto is a top striker but today he was owned.

Great gameplan from Petchtanong.

Petchtanong fought the fight of his life here, he looked better than ever at 36 years old.

I was supporting Akimoto on this, but I have to say that they're no way that Petchtanong won by SPLIT decision! He dominated Akimoto through the fight

Akimoto straight up got outclassed here

Pech feels much bigger and had impeccable defence here. Despite moving backwards he was clearly in control of the entire fight. Judge who scored for Aki is a bit crazy.

Real hard to look at Akimoto's midsection by the 3rd round. Just brutal.

Akimoto is a true warrior but Petchtanong made the better gameplan.

Nothing but respect for both fighters here, but that should not have been a split decision. Petchtanong clearly outstruck Akimoto in this one. Once the damage to the ribs had set in late in round 2, it was just a matter of time. Akimoto was a freaking tiger, but when that rib pain started to take away his ability to combo, his game plan sort of fell apart.

試合後ミドルで腹真っ赤なの話題になってるけど、序盤から膝めちゃ打たれて秋元は入れなくなって距離感コントロールされてるのしっかり対策されてるな〜って感じる

masterclass from Petchtanong

Split decision??? I think unanimous decision for petchtanong

Man hiroki akimoto is a hard man

That judge in favour of Akimoto is either blind, Japanese, or both !! 🤣🤣

Akimoto is a fighter and is fighting a fight. Petchanong is a sportsman and playing to win a game.

In k1 buakaw was donmating the knee clinching so good that they they had make a new rule , to hold the opponent, knee them and disengage after the clinch. Pet displayed that beautifully within that rule.

Superbon and this fighter won their fights with very simple technics which neutralize fighters adept of dutch style. (Even Nong O in thaï fights use these simple technics). Middle kick, knee, clinch to avoid punches, push kicks. This stratégy was used by Buakaw in 2004 and after. It still works.

Clear win for Petchtanong, what's with the split decision ?

ถึกจริงญี่ปุ่นคนนี้ ซัดกันตรงๆแพ้ความถึกแน่ๆ ต้องเล่นเชิงแบบนี้ สุดยอดครับพี่เพชรทนง

ชอบนักชกญี่ปุ่นคนนี้ ใจสู้ ไม่ถอย ไม่แสดงอาการ บุกตลอด ออกอาวุธตลอด ส่วนไทยได้ลูกเข่า หนัก แต่ถอยเยอะไป เป็นแชมป์แล้วต้องไม่ถอยแบบนี้นะคะ ดีใจกับคนไทยแต่ก็มีสงสารญี่ปุ่นนิดนึง ให้กำลังใจค่ะ

Petchtanong 37 years old!

Great Match !

akimoto is true warrior keep fighting with his ripped rib💪

How well can someone throw a knee strike.. The Thai guy: yes!

Francis NG the judge that favored akimoto maybe an Anime fan, or love sushi alot.

Petchtanong lost to Capitan but most people don't know that Petchtanong was a very short notice opponent for Capitan. Petchtanong only has 4-7 days to train while Capitan was already in a camp for a month or more. Capitan was originally scheduled to fight Petrosyan, Yodsanklai or Sittichai at Featherweight ( 154 lbs ) but after mister Boat ( the owner of Petchyindee Academy ) saw that Capitan was too out of shape to fight at 154 lbs against the elite there so they decided to make Capitan boil down to 145 lbs ( Bantamweight ) and so they quickly searched for an opponent there a few days before the fight and it was Petchtanong was answered the call.

Love that karate Vs Muai Thai fights

จะสู้แบบไหน ขอแค่อยู่ในกติกา ไม่มีคำว่าถูกผิด ใช้สมองครองเกมส์การชกอย่างที่วางแผนมา ผลลับตามมาคุ้มค่าที่ตั้งใจ

Wow. Good Fight. I don't know why Akimoto keep pressing forward, that knee is eating him while his leg kicks are being checked.

สวยงามที่สุด เท่าที่ มีมวยไทยมาวัน ลงตัวทุกอย่าง

เตะมวยค่ายเขาสะเสียมวย โดนเลยเพชรทนง

For a guy who's lighting you up with rear leg attack after rear leg attack you can take a risk and turn your head 2 into a posting body 2. Time him trying to counter you and just shove him off while he's on one leg

めちゃくちゃ参考になる試合だ。感謝。

Why the other guy bring a steel pipe in this fight 😂😂😂 those kicks hard like steel

Красавчик

masterclass

ขอให้ช่องone10ล้านใวๆคับ

Congratulation👋👋👋Thai boxer the best in the world💪💪💪💥💥👍

Great use of the knee.

Split decision: The judges were kicked on the head and couldn't judge and see properly .......

กลับมาดูกี่ทีก็สนุก ระดับอาจารย์ดักอาวุธ ดักแทง ซะเสียคนเลย

Beautiful muay thai stance from petchanong, very traditional very old school. I Love it

After round 2 it was pretty much established that Petchtanong was gonna win.

Not a split but should be unanimous win

akimoto should've thrown front kicks and came in on a angle.

No way split decision lol

Those are some well cooked ribs 😳😳😳😳

I am too far from that but can I just brag that he is my trainer? 😜🤓🤭 This goes on SAVED vdo for sure !!!! 👏

Those knees … my God 😳

สวยงาม

Olha a diferença de idade.....

How the heck is that split decision 😅

Sittichai Sitsongpeenong, Superbon Singha Marwin, Petpanomrung Kiatmoo9 and Petchtanong Banchameck are all in the top 10 best P4P Kickboxer in the world. If Rodtang beat Takeru then that would make 5 Thais. Kickboxing is too easy for Thai fighters.

I’m sorry, but I’m 100% convinced that Muay Thai is superior to kickboxing. Petch just made it look so nice!

Muay Thai footwork is better than kyokushin footwork

Akimoto's accurate & powerful left round-house kicks is something else with which finally led him to his triumph over this strong Thai boxer in my assessment. Btw, if the elbows were allowed in this fight, there is no doubt in my mind that Petchtanong would have won. I wonder if anyone agree w/ me?,,,,,,(02/17/23)

That side of Rib cage of akimoto turned Purple.Omg thai left kick is torturing akimotos body.

Damm!😳

Mastery

4:08

Brutal body kicks oof

That Thai fighter had suffered severe bruising at his right flank area, which is called ECCHYMOSES in a medical term. Petchtanong bravely endured that severely damaged R. flank area. And both fighter's technics are excellent & superb. Thoroughly enjoyed, admired, & appreciated this high level kickboxing. From California,,,,,,(02/01/23)

Brutal

What that judge was looking at that fight wasn't close happy that man didn't get rob he fought a good fight

Can these guys feel their shins???

Absolutely gorgeous Muay Dtae action. Petchtanong controlled distance like a boss.

👍💪

ペッタノン上手い‼️強い‼️ てんかおとミドルでめっちゃ効かせてた

ลายเดินมวยสวยงามมากดักแทงเตะ

เพรชทนง ต่อยฉลาดมากครับ

Petchtanong was smiling at the beginning until he tasted them leg kicks.

Kyokoshin fans ? Are u still curious about Muaythai techniques? Plus no elbows

秋元原有壓到性,但有D急,用急攻戰術,反令自己頻频不小心中膝頭至戰敗

Big Akimoto fan, I think he's superb. However, he just didn't have an answer for Petch's clinch game here and this was definitely not a split decision lol. Petch was so fast coming in to the clinch, powering his strike home using knees and then exiting, it was perfectly executed. I have no idea why Akimoto's corner were not advising him to either parry/stay out of the way or look to catch and sweep so that it dissuade's Petch from throwing those KO style knees. He didn't do enough to punish Petch for throwing his main weapon. It would have been a very different fight had this happened. I was very surprised given how Akimoto had handled previous thai opponents in contrast to his performance tonight. But what also must be understood is that as elite as all these guys are, sometimes on the night it's not your night. Illness, injury, personal problems, lack of sleep etc. life doesn't stop and fighters cannot be perfect all the time. I sincerely hope Akimoto comes back much stronger from this as he really embodies everything great about martial arts. Petch should have taken the victory here with all judged scoring in his favour as he clearly outworked Akimoto and did way more damage. What was good to see was that he didn't manage to break Akimoto or get into his head per se. I'm most disappointed with Akimoto's corner and how they did not have an answer for Petch's clinch and knees which was the bulwark of Petch's strength in this fight. Overall, great display of techniques and a good championship fight. 👏🏻

Akimoto should have crowded Petchtanong's left side.

Rib kicks aww

เป็นผมคงนอนตั้งแต่โดนเข่าทีแรก

Akimoto doesn't know how to block kicks, Muaythai easily blocks Karate's kicks

秋元的打法好好,又勁又好睇,可能佢由空手道功夫底加泰拳夠勁

Akimoto is very hungry for victory. Nice performance. But he needs to level his hands. More jabs, longer combinations, no overcommiting. Playing kick game with experienced Thai is not good idea.

LOL worst advice from Akimotos corner... Keep GOING FORWARD.. lol Keep eating the knees.

Why split decision? That judge was blind?

Such a handsome fighter is Petchtanong

if this was a muay thai match. this would've ended fast

Muay Thai is better than kyokushin

คนละชั้นเลย

ชกฉลาดมากเพชรทนง❤❤❤❤❤
