00:00You're older. The height is identical. Tup Tim Tong was heavier on the scales.
00:05This is Thailand taking on Thailand. We're going Global Rules Muay Thai.
00:09That's three three-minute rounds. The 10-point must system will be in use by three judges ringside.
00:14Three knockdowns in one round is a technical knockout. No throws or grappling in Muay Thai.
00:21Tup Tim Tong!
00:31Tup Tim Tong returns tonight here in Bangkok, Thailand, making the walk to one Friday Fight's 144 main event.
00:44Now, Chok Pichit!
00:57Chok Pichit.
01:00From Nakhon, Prachasima, Thailand.
01:03You know, this guy's got a real interesting story.
01:08See his family right there?
01:13Representing Thailand!
01:17Tup Tim Tong!
01:25Representing Thailand!
01:30Chok Pichit!
01:33Rising World Championship talent to join the greatest roster of World Champion Strikers at one main event.
01:41Underway, Chok Pichit.
01:43Exchange and hooks with Tup Tim Tong.
01:49Wow, yeah. It is going to be explosive when they are inside of the field.
01:54Pull the guard down of Tup Tim Tong.
01:57Just step in and plant a big elbow.
02:04Man, just, at this level, it's just high stakes at every moment, especially with these four-ounce gloves.
02:12You really have to be selective and make sure that first minute or two, feel out your rhythm, timing.
02:19Good play.
02:27Low kicks come in both directions.
02:33But still, Chok Pichit.
02:36He's elbow hunting early, Brian.
02:40Yeah, you said it, Doug, with the hand control against elbows at that close range.
02:44A strong push kick coming from Tup Tim Tong.
02:53Establishing his range.
02:54Nice right-hand counter from Tup Tim Tong.
02:58Looking like he wants to crash inside and go to war in the close with the elbows and the knees.
03:03But they're taking the left kick high.
03:05A lot of weapons on display from both of these guys, Doug.
03:08Yeah, beautiful display of sports.
03:10In one Friday night, I saw the shot at the big leagues at one.
03:14Yeah, Brian, talk to me about Chok Pichit.
03:17How does he find his entry safely?
03:19Make sure that as he walks through fire, he doesn't get cracked.
03:22Yeah, tough thing to do.
03:24You know, he's got to utilize a little bit of puncher to get in safe.
03:27Play with the jab.
03:28There it is.
03:29That's a great way to get inside.
03:30It doesn't have to do a lot of damage.
03:31But it's a smoke screen to close the distance.
03:34He's got those great kicks on the outside, too.
03:37But he's really, really wanting to go into war in that danger zone where both of these guys are also
03:43good.
03:44Turning from Tup Tim Tong.
03:46But Tup Tim Tong now being forced to be a little bit quicker and more reactive.
03:52Having to kind of reestablish his rhythm and timing as Chok Pichit has kind of picked up the pace on
03:57his entries.
03:58Abs put out to that side control.
04:00And like you said, very little danger, but a lot of holes to poke at with your knees and your
04:05elbows.
04:07Again, feeding that hand through.
04:11Duking it out with their fists.
04:15Tup Tim Tong.
04:17Still trying to poke at one yard.
04:19Chok Pichit with that lead leg trying to teep him off.
04:23Keep him at bay.
04:25But I think you're right.
04:26Dervis of elbows and knees and kicks and fists and pressure.
04:31Final round of our main event underway here between Chok Pichit and Tup Tim Tong.
04:40Chok Pichit coming forward on the warpath here to open up round one.
04:46I can feel the urgency.
04:49I can see how hungry he is inside.
04:51And he's just honking with that right hand.
04:54Yeah, running over.
04:56On the outside.
04:58Now I think Tup Tim Tong wearing a little damage.
05:05From all the action that Chok Pichit has brought coming forward.
05:11And Chok Pichit just has a great gas tank.
05:14Tons of conditioning.
05:15I feel like he's doing a lot more defending right now than he actually is countering or attacking from his
05:22direction.
05:22And that's what happens when you get caught in the avalanche of a great clincher.
05:27Chok Pichit, you know, seeing this opportunity.
05:30Ten seconds of our main event.
05:33Chok Pichit coming forward.
05:37Calling for war here.
05:40Final strikes here at Lumpini Stadium.
05:43Between these two absolute warriors.
05:49Very exciting back and forth fight.
05:53I think as you said, bro.
05:55Decision.
