Prajanchai Busts Open Ellis Badr Barboza En Route To Doctor’s Stoppage TKO

Prajanchai delivered one other lights-out efficiency en path to retaining his ONE strawweight Muay Thai world championship at ONE Battle Night time 28 in Bangkok.

After a reasonably conservative opening spherical that noticed each fighters sizing up each other, issues actually started to pop off within the second with the Thai titleholder opening up his placing and busting open his opponent, British slugger Ellis Badr Barboza, with a slick inside elbow.

By the point we reached the third, Prajanchai was in clear management of the competition and even started to perform a little trash-talking, a lot to the delight of the hometown crown.

Close to the two-minute mark of the penultimate spherical, the Thai caught Barboza with one other inside elbow to the identical eye he’d busted open early. This precipitated the reduce to open up even additional, leaving the Brit with a very cut up eyelid. Seeing the harm, referee Olivier Coste paused the competition to have ringside medical doctors check out the harm. Moments later Coste waived off the bout, awarding the competition to Prajanchai by way of a technical knockout within the fourth spherical.

Official Outcome: Prajanchai def. Ellis Badr Barboza by way of TKO (physician’s stoppage) at 1:55 of Spherical 4 to retain the ONE strawweight Muay Thai world championship
