01:49Rawr!
01:50The fighter dreams of here, main event of Friday Fights 171.
01:56Glarab in the black trunks, facing off with fellow technician Sornsuknoy.
02:03Both fighters standing center. Glarab working his way, angling out, cutting those movements.
02:10Oh, Sornsuknoy, big hook.
02:12You know, what's so impressive is that these are two of, you know, highest level technicians here in Muay Thai.
02:20But just the fundamentals, I'm loving these three-piece boxing combinations.
02:24Just sticking them upstairs, forcing the guard up, and then trying to take one, you know, the most technical fighters
02:31have the most sound fundamentals.
02:34Oh, yeah. Look, there it is again. Sornsuknoy waiting for the kick.
02:38Captain coming in with the right hook once more.
02:42Glarab chopping away at the legs.
02:44Sornsuknoy as well.
02:47Great distance management, range management as well.
02:50Stark difference in styles from what you saw in the co-main with Mahat.
02:54I mean, he makes it work for him.
02:55Yeah.
02:56For those of you watching at home, I would recommend starting off with solid fundamentals before you break any rules.
03:04I'm happy to get that close to engage, because they want to find the counter strikes.
03:09It's again, trying to strike first, but then trying to strike last.
03:12That'll do it for the first round.
03:14Yeah, very back and forth.
03:16Defi- I- I-
03:17But both these guys showing a lot of things that could knock anybody out.
03:21So we'll see if either one of them can get the finish.
03:25Glarab opening it up.
03:27Right kick.
03:29Marching forward.
03:33Hand fighting.
03:34Heavy, Jim.
03:35So he's gonna be comfortable.
03:36If he feels at any moment like he's getting hit too much, he can always just tie Glarab up.
03:42But he needs to be active if he wants to be there.
03:44And I- I'd recommend trying to tire Glarab out, because these guys are now just exchanging jabs.
03:49Both of them hitting his work on his speed and his accuracy.
03:52And you're looking at him turning the chin at Glarab.
03:56Glarab's feeling the beauty measuring back.
03:58Oh, he stumbled.
03:59But Sornsuknoy catches Glarab as well.
04:02But that jab from Glarab is just popping.
04:06Sornsuknoy's back.
04:07Time and time again makes him go into the clinch.
04:10Oh!
04:11Focus.
04:12This is what he does.
04:13He just knows that there's a- it's a matter of time.
04:16Just continuing to press.
04:18Follow the jab, the right jab, with the left kick to the body.
04:22And just continuing until Sornsuknoy tries to tie him up.
04:26Nice knees inside the-
04:27Double knockouts.
04:28The way that they just keep shooting and eating.
04:31But just continuing to change.
04:32Overall, boxing in the foam blues.
04:34Both standing their ground.
04:36I like Glarab's been putting some more kicks behind it.
04:39A little bit more, Sornsuknoy.
04:40I feel like either round could be either way.
04:43That's the hard thing.
04:45Here we go.
04:46Sornsuknoy goes back to the kicking game.
04:49Glarab gets his kick caught, but he fires away.
04:52Four or five punch combinations just straight down the center.
04:57Waiting.
04:58When he goes down, he'll continue to press.
05:01Sornsuknoy's uppercuts are pretty, though, Doug.
05:03Look at the way.
05:04He's making- he's popping that head back!
05:06He's making the ball hesitate for a second.
05:09Nice footwork as well.
05:10Ball, nice with that jab.
05:12But when he gets in close, oh!
05:15Back and forth.
05:17Yeah, I don't even know if I could count.
05:20Where's the head when you're looking at this?
05:22Because once one of them throws, the other one counters well.
05:26It's gonna shift to the volume.
05:28The tide going back and forth both these two to push.
05:32Run into each other nonstop.
05:36Oh, my goodness.
05:37It's like BattleBots from the back of the day.
05:39You just keep Beyblades running in.
05:41They're not screaming, but they're banging them nonstop,
05:43and they just keep going.
05:46Sornsuknoy.
05:48In the corner, looking for a moment.
05:51Yeah, you gotta steal the deal with something big.
05:54We're all trying to catch that team, pull him into something.
05:56Sornsuknoy is wise, he got out of it.
05:59So Kurok just gotta throw a few kicks to try and score.
06:03That's gonna be our main event to the judges.
06:08Back and forth.
06:09Ladies and gentlemen, after three rounds of battle, we turn now to the judges' scorecards.
06:16All three judges have called this contest in favor of your winner by unanimous decision.
06:27Kurok!
06:30Kurok!
06:31Kurok!
06:32Kurok with the UD!
06:35Neck and neck war!
06:37But Kurok controlled that...
06:39.
06:48.
06:49.
