Petchtanong should of won his fight but im not gonna act like im surprised his opponent got a hometown decision.
With Tawanchai I am surprised but not really. Over the years we've had discussions on here about what type of Thai style does well in kickboxing and I used to think it was an anuwat or Yodkhunpon type of style and then later it changed to kickers and so on but the truth is its an accumulation of things. Its hard to nail it down to one specific thing. Like the team, sparring partners, style, durability, drive, dedication, experience and of course luck to certain degree.
Tawanchai is someone we'd look at as a good fit for a kickboxing/international muaythai transition but like I said its not always that simple. He didn't look bad in there but he still has a lot to learn and we'll see where he takes it from here. Wondering now if the Onefc debut was cancelled simply because his team didn't think he was ready. If so they were right and maybe its good he's experiencing all of this. He has years of experience and has lost fights in the past so I cant see this having a big impact on him mentally.
