James- I was at the fight ring side so I'll offer up my opinion. In the 1st 2 rounds jamal looked dangerous with his hands agreed, he had pace accuracy and power, but from the 3rd round onwards his hands started landing much less with reduced power. In my opinion this was due 1 to the leg kicks daitan had previously landed plus the big leg kick at the start of the round 3. If you look at round 4 jamal barely lands any of his punches on anything other than air or daitans guard, again in my opinion this is due to the increase in range daitan has created with that lead leg body kick. Jamal is holding his right arm lower to protect more of his ribs with his elbow and throwing the right hand far less now in my opinion that's effect in its self. Jamal knows if he throws that hand he runs the risk of taking that kick cleanly in the ribs. Even in round 5 jamal rarely lands his hands especially with the type of effect he had in rounds 1 and 2. After the 2nd round daitan didn't look in danger of being stopped.

I went to the fights as a neutral spectator jst to watch thai.
