Here’s what went down in the early Muay Thai and kickboxing matches at ONE Fight Night 44: Jarvis vs. Rungrawee II.
Estupinan Overwhelms Guluzada To Score Biggest Win Of Career
Johan “Panda Kick” Estupinan put on his most complete performance yet, outworking Akif Guluzada by unanimous decision in their flyweight kickboxing clash to snap the Azerbaijani’s five-bout winning streak and get himself back in the winner’s circle after two straight losses.
Estupinan, who made his ONE Championship kickboxing debut, was the aggressor in the first, as he flicked out left kicks to keep his opponent off-guard. Guluzada turned up the heat midway through the stanza and began landing unorthodox kick-punch combinations, but the 23-year-old Colombian wrestled back control.
With his braids flopping behind him, “Panda Kick” bounded into range in the second like the wild man the fans have come to expect, blasting Guluzada with punches and then mixing in kicks to the torso and legs. The Azerbaijani failed to answer with anything that registered on the scorecards.
Estupinan continued the onslaught in the third, upping his output with even more kicks and punches. He even launched himself into spinning kicks. Guluzada played the counter game, but he threw too little, too far between to turn the tide.
The judges gave the decision victory to the Colombian firecracker, who moved his record to 28-2.
Guest Announces ONE Arrival With Three-Knockdown Finish
Charlie Guest made the ONE debut he had been chasing for years count, as he stopped WBC Muay Thai New Zealand Champion Sam Fitzgerald via TKO in their featherweight Muay Thai clash.
In a battle of two highly technical clinch fighters, both men stayed as close as twin brothers in the first round. They drilled each other with knees and elbows, and whenever they separated from the clinch, they traded punishing body shots. Fitzgerald began to edge ahead late in the round, stinging his opponent with a hook to the midsection.
Guest came out with a different energy in the second frame, exploding into a barrage of punches that forced the New Zealander to cover up behind a defensive shell. Two ripping body shots forced Fitzgerald’s hands down, and the Brit went upstairs with a right hand to score the first knockdown of the match.
Fitzgerald answered the referee’s eight-count, returned to his feet, and fired back with elbows, but Guest stayed in the pocket and cracked him with an overhand right to put him down again.
The New Zealander showed tremendous heart by rising once more, but the Brit cornered him. Then, he unleashed punches and elbows to the head and body until Fitzgerald dropped to the ground for the last time. The referee instantly waved off the action, stopping the contest at the 2:08 mark of round two.
After years of trying to break into the world’s largest martial arts organization, the 30-year-old Englishman arrived in dominant fashion. The TKO victory pushed his record to 38-15.
Nakrob Breaks Skid With Hard-Fought Decision Victory
Nakrob Fairtex ended a turbulent 12-month stretch, as he battled his way to a unanimous decision victory over former ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title challenger Jacob Smith in their bantamweight Muay Thai clash.
Smith came out confident in the first, matching the Thai punch for punch. A jab from Nakrob sent the 33-year-old Brit stumbling backward, though the referee waved it off without ruling it a knockdown.
The clinch became Nakrob’s home in the second frame. The Fairtex Training Center representative hung off Smith’s neck and drove knees into his midsection, and the Englishman looked increasingly lost as he tried to punch his way free. On the outside, the Thai stunned him with punches and right kicks before swimming back into the clinch, where an elbow opened a cut on Smith’s hairline.
After a brief pause for an eye poke from Smith early in round three, Nakrob locked up his opponent inside the clinch like a ram, dancing in place before sending knees into his ribs. Both fighters then engaged in a war of elbows, with Smith giving as good as he got and damaging the Thai in return. Wearing the wounds like badges of honor, both men rallied until the final bell.
The verdict was clear, as the 27-year-old Thai swept the judges’ scorecards. With the hard-earned win, Nakrob lifted his record to 70-25.
Ferrari Dominates With Revamped Arsenal, Returns To Win Column
Ferrari Fairtex made a statement with a dominant performance over Shinji Suzuki in their bantamweight Muay Thai clash, showing a revolutionized skill set packed with aggression to earn a unanimous decision and nudge his all-striking record to 138-34.
The 28-year-old Thai, who prepares at Fairtex Training Center, controlled the opening round from the front foot, with a crisp straight right proving to be the decisive weapon.
Ferrari marched into the clinch in the second frame, where he pulverized the Japanese veteran with knees and elbows. Suzuki tried to punch his way out but only left himself open for more elbows. When they separated, the Thai sent right kicks crashing into his opponent’s torso to maintain his dominance.
The third and final stanza, however, was the most explosive. A step-in right knee to the body dropped Suzuki for an eight-count. He answered it, but Ferrari attacked with punches – a left hand whacked the Japanese striker flush, followed by a left high kick that dropped him for the second knockdown of the round. Suzuki rose again, but the damage was done.
In the end, Ferrari swept the judges scorecards to leave Lumpinee Stadium with the unanimous decision victory. He returns to the win column with a performance that suggested a more dangerous version of the Fairtex product has arrived.
