Nazee just smiled and siad “let’s fight.”

Nazee ooked good. he threw everything at the heavyweight he had: spinning back elbows, jumping elbows, power leg kicks, and jumping knees, but in the end, the judges handed the bigger and much stronger fighter the drcision after 5-hard rounds that had the crowd cheering for Nazee.

Robert Lek “accepted a challenge” for this fight in Patong and made short work of his Thai opponent with a 2nd round KO. First, Robert Lek scores a hard tip kick to the solar plexus of his opponent garnering an8-count. Robert Lek then moved in forcing the Thai into the corner and unloading with a vicious combination of punches till his opponent slumped to the floor and the referee stepped in and stopped the fight.

This was an important fight for Cyrus. Coming off a loss to Tonpet and rehabbing a knee injury, Cyrus was looking for a good performance and got excatly that with a 1dt round KO. Blocking well as Tonpet went after Cyrus’ injured leg, Cyrus unleashed an axe kick that nearly split Tonpet like a log right down the center. Cyrus continied his attack untol a jumping knee to the chest felled the veteran fighter that has a ton of heart. Tonpet takes on all challenges and surely there is a grudge match in the future for these two Muay thai warriors.
