Something about the mats caused alot of slipping. Petch fell a few times after throwing kicks so thats probably why kevin stumbled so much when pressuring
Agreed, terrible ref. Contradictory orders resulted in a chaotic confusing fight. Glad Petch won though, Kevin acting like a tantruming child not getting his own way.
i'm sorry but Vannostrand is one of the most awkward, amature-ish, untalented fighters i have ever seen competing at this level.. it doesn't make sense lol.. He is that fighter that no one likes to fight because they know they'll probably have the most clunky fight of their career.. He owns some power but it's like he uses it to just make the fight even more awkward.. EDIT: The holding many times is caused by the way super mario rushing his body in like an idiot EVERY time.. He doesn't even know what he wants to do.. This is too common but you have to fight to understand.. ..or at least have a talent at recognizing situations like this..
Dude he vannostrand got his record padded for YEARS in Syracuse, Lockport, and a bunch of other local places in New York State . One of his corner man was the promoter for promotion he fought for . I mean come on, I’ve seen him lose an entire fight yet win on the judges score card . He’s overhyped
Exactly... People don't understand.. There is a strong instinct in trying to catch and hold "something" that comes to you as awkward as Kevin!! I disrespect no fighter's balls in the internets of course but Kevin is just a massive goofball of a fighter. Kill me
Petch: 120 of 178 total strikes KVN: 95 of 250 total strikes pretty good indicator of who is the more refined striker of the two. Petch wasn't even operating at his typical distance or pace but still outclassed him.
true but the point is, that pitch *couldn't operate at his typical distance or pace, because Kevin strategy was not to play Peches game. petch is the better one, but Kevin was a good challenger.
@@coolkid7151 another american who always think they are the best? in kickboxing the chance that you can win from a thai fighter is not that big they fight totally different the kickboxers and have much more skill
I don't think he did a terible job to be honest... He's just caught in the chaos that is "The clinch under Glory rules" The instructions he gets from Glory we all know are confusing af.. and he's only a human.. In fact i don't think i have ever seen a referee doing "good" enough for us in situations like this.. They just haven't figured it out yet but refs are not in the top of the pyramid to blame so blindly.. and that comes from a Thai fanatic who belives the ONLY true refs are the THAI refs..
@@rawbbingmysellph7464 I saw the show live and I must admit most of the ref's were pretty bad, late stoppages, bad breaks from clinch. This ref was definitely one of the better ones super cool dude; even took a picture with him! Only issue when the ref's yell "BREAK BREAK" unfortunately most of the fighters don't speak English in their minds the ref is just simply yelling. Rewatch the fight and keep in mind petch know's little English and has a confused look when the ref yells "break" and he still gets hit!
Tell that to Alex pereira, Badr, Overeem, Sakhi, Rico and so on mr Thai fanatic. Kickboxers Always will have better hands. Kicks and clinch you can keep lol.
Messy messy fight. Why does it take Petch so long to stop clinching? Sittichai stopped after a few fights. He is so good that he can still win with point deductions but common its just dumb. Maybe Glory should just break clinches fast instead of penalizing them with point deductions so that people just train some clinch and its an even playing field.
They do break fast but you are allowed to throw something directly after you engage the clinge. I think they should have given a point deduction earlier, cause petch made clear that everytime he had the change he went for the clinch
Petch is better overall than Sittichai, but Sittichai has better boxing so it's more difficult for him to fight in close without clinching. Petch has problems with tall and southpaw fighters, which Kevin is both. His fights with Adamchuck have been ugly too and I think the next one will be the same
The way Kevin rushed since the first seconds of the fight, that's a thing only amateurs do. Petch blocked all that and than started to work on that body
Those commentators are crazy sayin it was the tuffest fight for Petch. Petch took almost no damage while Kevin spended all his cardio with slim success as he got wooped. Kev fought more and more frustraded letting details go to his head.
Impractical rules by Glory: no holding, let them hold so the ref can break them up. These guys are from MT background with clinching as part of the fight. Glory should revise its rules for a more exciting fight by allowing clinching, holding, throwing.
100% These stupid Glory rules are actually ruining the action by leading to these awkward, passive half-clinching situations. Glory are hurting their brand.
yeah it's really bad, so the ref forces them to let go but then they can still get punched right away. At least make them break up so it's not dangerous to comply with their rules
I can see Mr. Vannostrand Initiated the clinch and not stop using his Fist & punch even when holding & clinching & i never understand Vannostrand's fighting style either🤷♂️ only his advantage was he is taller than Petch so it's much more easy for Kevin to land punch and that's that, he got ass whooped twice, get multiple warning about using elbow wtf.. what an ugly fight.
I thought Petch didn't understand English but he raised his hands real quick when the announcer said he basically retrained the title 😂. I LOVE CHICAGO @the end 😂
What do folks think about Petch in MMA? I know he's still young, but do people think he'll eventually transition? With some grappling experience and a bit more boxing, it'd be interesting to see. He's made of granite.
They should have someone to translate what the ref is saying for Petch, I've been watching his fights all day and one thing I've noticed is while he is trying to follow the rules, he has no idea when hes doing something wrong because he doesnt know that the ref is warning him, Glory also need to sort out that ring, it always looks like they're fighting on an ice rink
Kevin is initiating the clinch by crashing in like he does. He crashes in and has an awful clinch and no understanding of fighting on the inside. So, it makes it look like a messy fight. Petch has to constantly intercept this dude.
28:56 I love how Petch is almost laughing at Kevin there. Kevin kept complaining about the clinch when he should've been throwing knees like Petch was. People can blame the ref all they want, but Kevin lost this fight all on his own.
Yea he threw 5 total clinch knees in 5 rounds bro, he grabbed and held every other time. Not how clinching is supposed to work and petch gets away with it not speaking english so every ref feels the need to give 15 warnings.
The first round was fire and after that.....clinching all the time. I liked petch at the point where he fought roosmalen and beat him. After that he always clinched and i dont undestand why he didnt fix it like sittichai does. I hope against serhi he fixed that if not i never watch a fight from petch again!
I dont know if you guys have noticed this, but Kevin seems to throw so many cheap shots after the ref told to BREAK. @@ there is one point where ref yelled BREAK, Petch's arms wide open, and all of sudden, kevin threw left hook? @@
Ugly fight but this is 100% by design from Van. He knows he has no chance w a stand-up fight, so the game plan is to grind and push forward, hoping for a few things: 1) take away the left kick (done), 2) hope judges award flailing strikes, quantity over quality and 3) mask the talent deficit by continually pressing forward and into Petch. Bonus for Van was to get some absolutely bullshit ref decisions: missed the knockdown knee, gave about 8 elbow warnings w no point deductions and takes a point in the last 30 seconds from Petch who is not instigating the holding/clinch. So, shitty fight but that was Van's only hope to pull it out.
Great fight. One of the main differences between mauy thai and kickboxing is clinching (an essential part of muay Thai, limited (if even allowed) in kickboxing).
Goddamn stupid Glory rules. Either break up every clinch right of the bat or just let them clinch in full MT style. This half-assed "no holding" clinch is just awkward.
Vannostrands cut man is sloppy. you have 50 seconds to stop bleeding - First, wipe the face/nose. insert plug or swab - apply soft pressure to stop bleeding & help form a clot. DON'T have the fighter blowing his nose, then jam and twist that massive swab like drilling for oil. It only distress's the delicate tissue and prevents clotting. Another technique is to use the EnSwell in conjunction with a piece of cut aid (homeostatic dressing) to stop bleeding in 10 to 20 seconds.
no draw petch dominated ...only draw because of point deduction which I will say was deserved but wasn't like vannostrand wasn't doing the same. stupid ref ...I just wanna yell break guys why do you make me actually do my job and physically break you. I believe if vannostrand was better with his boxing skills he could totally defeat petch. maybe he'll figure it out someday.
Stopped watching in 2nd round. Vannostrand turns every fight into a big mess. Like he has no respect for the sport. Only good to watch him when gets KO-ed hard. But he’s American, and the Americans need someone to cheer for in kickboxing :-) Robin summed him up quite well before he punished him: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UlwgX1sO1F4.html
Also that todt glory reporter talking unrespectfull about PECHT like,he comes frome a very poor living !??. LETS BE REAL ALL AMERICAN FIGHTERS COMES FROME POOR LIVING TO😁😁😁. And revery is a snake
much politik in this fight for vannostrand, but petchpanomrung is a cool sovereign champion completely technics coordinated and vannostrad looks like a hysterical jumping jack ;) greetings from germany
Van Norstrand’s style is exactly the same as the American govt😂😂 Lots of emotion and desperation but clunky, and generating very poor results, while being badly bashed up and laughed at😂😂
