Hit by nearly 30 punches, Muay Thai master falls to former world number 1 kickboxing

Noiri knocked out Tawanchai in Saitama (Japan).

Tawanchai (real name Narongsak Kaewmala)'s fight with Masaaki Noiri in Saitama (Japan) was one of the most anticipated MMA (mixed martial arts) matches in Asia last weekend. After less than 3 rounds, the Japanese boxer won.

Masaaki Noiri - a former karate prodigy and ranked number 1 in the world in kickboxing by Combat Press magazine - clearly dominated the third round. The home fighter pushed Tawanchai to the edge of the ring and continuously delivered accurate punches.

The Thai boxer tried to counter with a knee strike but missed. Masaaki Noiri immediately punched his opponent in the face, causing Tawanchai to collapse to the mat. Although he was able to get up and continue fighting, Tawanchai was clearly weakened and unable to defend.

Masaaki Noiri threw a series of nearly 30 consecutive punches, most of which hit Tawanchai's head. The referee judged that the Thai fighter had no more strength to fight back and awarded the victory to Masaaki Noiri. The Japanese representative won the featherweight kickboxing championship belt of ONE Championship.
