00:00...born son as well, just nine months old, which is, he named him Ratchasai, which means king of the jungle,
00:07and what an awesome name, that is his biggest motivation, you know, both his parents are gone, so this is
00:13his only family he fights for, just his son, his partner, his younger sister, called Pat, is back here at
00:19One Friday Fights.
00:20And he's got a bit of a chip on his shoulder, like you said, well decorated.
00:25A martial art, ancient history and traditions, originally Muay Thai used in combat by the soldiers, the old kingdom of
00:37Siam, to defend the king, now these modern day warriors perform this ceremony as a way to pay respect of
00:47martial arts, main event Muay Thai as Kompette takes on Ata Chai, Ata Chai in the white trunks,
00:54as Kompette fighting out of the red corner in the black trunks, nice exchange here, ooh.
01:04Yeah, Kompette showing the composer working, interestingly enough, again, we've said it before, you know, he's more of the Muay
01:11humor, the technique.
01:13Built, Strawe, he's very explosive, his guard low at moments, you know, it's not a very high guard, but it's
01:20because he's so fast and explosive, he's got so much experience, he definitely knows how to get in and out
01:27of the pocket, but it has got him caught at times against some accurate punches.
01:34Well, that's the goal, shot for shot, when they're in that boxing ring, both of them are teeing off with
01:39accurate combinations.
01:42There it is, a big check hook from Ata Chai as Kompette stepped in, Kompette needs to keep his wits
01:51about him, he's got to be selective with his entries, I would like to see him set up some of
01:57his strengths a little bit, rather than just rely on his speed and explosiveness, because if Ata Chai puts a
02:03beat on him.
02:04Timing, very, very well, he's able to read, he sees, he doesn't always necessarily see, but the teeps ready, the
02:11checks are ready, they're in second back.
02:14Slip, really been working, showing everything, that's why he's a gold medalist, he's got the experience, he's coming, showcasing all
02:23these, the Kompette's got him.
02:25Ata Chai to find the defense, to find the block, and there Kompette's starting to land, we're still controlling the
02:32ring, small movements mean maximum power when it comes to the footwork, making sure he's controlled.
02:38Now Ata Chai fires back after catching the kick once more, tries to go for a body shot hook there.
02:44This is where Kompette can start to have a lot of success, he starts to pour it on, with the
02:50button, it's only a lot of time, can he fight him, he's got half a round to do it, Kompette
02:55trying to throw some elbows, but Ata Chai's going nice and long, he's tied him up into the clinch, I
03:01don't know if that's enough time though for Kompette to come back.
03:03Yeah, we've seen Kompette crack before, like in his last fight, against Avdallah Armdash, so, you know, his chin has
03:10been exposed before, and Ata Chai, really taking advantage, Kompette on skates, now is the time to put him away,
03:1930 seconds to go, Kompette holding on for dear life with the body shot, Ata Chai, now having the chance
03:26to put away the very decorated, seven time world champion, Ata Chai,
03:32heavy hands as Kompette, back, he's waiting, he's finding these moments, but he's got, the 10 second clapper has sounded,
03:40so can he do it in time, he can help you go to the stool, goodness, I think Kompette was
03:47half-baked, you can still see him trying to hold and follow, finally put him away, well, and this is
03:52what's so impressive, you know, we talked about Bayek there, I love Kompette grabbing the legs, trying to go for
03:57the shot, to the body, but sometimes there is a time of the retreat in war, where you
04:02need to gather yourself, and Kompette did a good job of that, he stepped back, he waited until he was
04:07ready, and now he's able to stand in the center of the rim, and look on face, and that also,
04:12looks very good to the judges, because he hasn't gotten the knockdown,
04:16really hard to bite down on the gum shield, and then try to just put together some nice sequences, because
04:21Ata Chai is looking slick right now, he's got his game plan, and he's being very effective, against the former
04:28champion,
04:28very effective, and there's a lot on the line, Kompette's coming out, oh, gotta prove to everybody that he deserves
04:37to be here, I feel like this durability is absolutely there in finding Kompette, yeah, but can he get the
04:43finish here, final 10 seconds for Ata Chai to try to score a big finish,
04:48but now Kompette surging, making a final push here, in the final moments of this main event, and that will
04:56do it, a total firefight, Muay Thai at the highest level, here at Lumpini Stadium, Kompette, and Ata Chai, throwing
05:08down, and just very impressive,
05:10after three rounds of battle, we turn now, to the judges scorecards, oh, three judges, have called this contest, in
05:19favor of your winner, by unanimous,
