I've watched Petch's fights about 5-6 times since several yrs ago in the Glory kickboxing, & there is no question in my mind that he is a really skillful & powerful kick boxer. And I feel that he did have the harder time to triumph over this Japanese guy whose basic technique comes from the Karate on this 2nd match. Only if Haraguchi's flying knee to Petch's head had occurred in the earlier round like 3rd or so, then Haraguchi might have had a chance to win?! Nevertheless, Haraguchi had done a much better job this time, & the Thai kick boxer, Petch, remains a formidable & the strongest in his wight class ( --65kg.) or the super light class at the current times!!! Anyone comply w/ my view? .,,,,From the US,,,,,(11/28/22)
@@markokada7311 What are you even talking about ? Round 1-2-3-4-6 were totally one sided with Petch easily winning them. Even in round 5 which is the most competitive round of the fight it’s still Petch who won it.
He is now both Glory and Rise World Champion. The new Buakaw. The dude needs to go to One if Glory does not give him a raise. I think his weight class is Bantamweight in One if I'm not mistaken. He could become both One's kickboxing and Muay Thai world champ.
The Rise promoter said it best, Paraphrasing of course.. ’When the fight is tough, and you don't like the way the match is going, you need to find a way to still be victorious, because that's what it means to be the champ. ’ After this fight Haruguchi descended into what can only be regarded as a temper tantrum and pity parade, and that's why he lost, because he didn't know how to overcome adversity in the ring. His comments have been scrubbed from RU-vid since, but he was a disgrace afterwards, and Petch won because he never gave up and just banged to the end and brought the pain. Haruguchi was just betting on points. Props to the judges for seeing that and giving the win to Petchpanomrung.
I just want to point out the fact that it is incredibly difficult to triumph ABROAD due to the difference in rule, a biased referee, & judges. Despite those factors, Petch has been winning & maintaining the world title. That is truly amazing & astounding. Good for you, Petch.,,,Anyone agree w/ the above view?,,,,,,,We all keep supporting you, Petch!!,,,,,(12/11/22)
on what basis do you think the judges are biased?Petch won this time, and this time even though it was close, petch won again? 2, petch has been kicobxing for a long time as well.
Enough with this 'Thais are victims' narrative! 1) the Thai fighter won the fucking fight 2) he's been kickboxing for years, the rules aren't an issue for him 3) Thais are deservedly given plenty of wins in the Japanese kickboxing promotions, yes occasionally there's a headscratching decision, but it seems like there's an allergic reaction to even the possibility of a Thai fighter losing a decision sometimes.
@@FM-dm8xjThey are biased because the first 4 rounds were extremely one sided for Petch and Petch also won the fifth round and yet they had it as a draw.
@@biscobisco1882The Thai should have won after 5 rounds. There zero arguments that the fight should have been a draw after 5 rounds when it’s clear that round 1-2-3-4 were one sided as Petch easily won those round and even the fifth round was won by Petch.
I swear I can’t find one single accurate or truthful comment on here. So many Japanese people have so much national pride, they refuse to acknowledge how badly Horiguchi lost. If you know anything about fighting, you’d know that the extension round wasn’t even needed.
actually, almost all of Japanese here say that Petch won, Haraguchi lost. it's just Haraguchi himself who said that he thought he won the match at post-fight press conference.
@@Mustard_Dispenser I think you should just shut yourself up when you don't understand Japanese. No Japanese on the comment said Haraguchi won the match. you are embarrassing yourself, dimwit. Unlike chinese or western people, Japanese treat people equally when it comes to sport. There have been so many matches won by foreigners by unanimous decisions.
@@Mustard_Dispenser All i wanna say I agree wholeheartedly. However, if it really did so much damage, kento wouldnt of been able punch or do anything with the hand really. Sure AD wise, but straight up damage a knee straight to the chin and petch smiling is indicative of pure damage.
@@biscobisco1882Hahah you are a casual. Petch won the first 4 rounds and it was totally one sided. Even the fifth round was won by Petch. The Extra round shouldn’t happen at all but even then Petch won that in a one sided manner again.
@@biscobisco1882 You ain’t even Japanese and yet you are fangirling them. Kento was destroyed with ease in this fight. Tell him to come to Muay Thai rules against Petch.
