Just read my SMS from my mate, Dave in Thailand that SANCHAI won on points! Completely stumped him and had Orono say in his corner he couldn't do anything. Mr. Cox posted on K-1Fans he was a class above and took Orono to school.
Different outcome to the last one then...strange how things can turn so quick. Possible gambling manipulations?? difference in weight..or just Orono on top form beforehand...either way bet it was a class fight to watch.
What weight was it at?
Talking to Jitti about the fight last time and he said if Saenchai was 128 or above, with Orono at 130, he would win easy.
As the weight difference last time was 4lbs, Orono took the win.
I think Saenchai can drop weight but takes a little too much out of him.
Wish I could have seen this.
I bet it was class.
Hmm...where is that video? I'll have a look around. ;)
was 130 Orono to 128 for Saenchai
To be honest I dont think going down affects him so much
when its to 126, he went down to 122 against Nong-O not that long ago, I personally think it was the 3 cuts that did for him in their second fight and if it wern't for them he would have won.
Was not such a great show this time, not too many close even fights and this fight didnt exactly set the world alight either, but then their 2nd fight takes a bit of beating in that sense
wow! I didnt know he had got down that low...
122lbs - 55kgs....thats a scary thought!
Any cartwheel action?
Or was he strictly business for the rematch?
no cartwheels this time, but Orono didn't really give him much room in 1st to do it
Thanks for the photos Rob, do you think they will fight again mate ?
he tried to get down to 122 again didnt he rob but couldnt do it?? is that right?
he took nomg O to china town when they fought!
thats right mate, was going to fight Wuttidet, still dont think 126 or even 125 is a problem for him though, just the cuts last time otherwise he would have beat Orono then too
When he was working to get to 57 for the December fight, he did have to drop a bit, morning of, right ROB? but had no trouble, just that hiccup.
fight #2 was an awesome bout, this one was good but, Saenchai just showed dominance ... when he waved to the punters while resting his foot on top of a fallen Orono's head was a tad cheeky though
