At the end of the three rounds of the “century match” between Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Superlek Kennoo9, according to the notice from the organizers, all three referees graded the victory in favor of Superlek. Typically, One Championship rarely announced the transcript of the match of One Lumpinee. But with the important nature of the competition, they have “broke the rules”.
The three arbitrators graded the match of Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Superlek Kiatmoo9, Shane Byrne, Richard Robinson and Jesse Sauders. All three have the same transcript for this match: RotDang won 10-9 in the first half. By the second half, Superlek won 10-8, then won 10-9 in the third half.
The victory in the first half of Rodtang is clearly visible, because he has many attacks and makes Superlek flow a lot of blood. The victory of Superlek in the third half is quite easy to understand, when this boxer succeeds in using clinch attacks to limit RotDang close. The controversy mainly came from the second half, when RotTang was dotted 10-8.
The match of One Championship applies professional muay law. If the boxer was counted in the match, the default he lost 10-8. This is what Rodtang must accept when the referees score according to the general law. The controversial thing is whether RotTang will win the attack that the referee must count.
The second half of the match showed that Rodtang hit an index of Superlek before falling towards the corner of the radio. However, the direct cause of RotTang fell was not because he hit. In fact, “Iron people” lost their balance when turning the ankle to dodge, and that was the reason for him to fall.
Sharing after the One Lumpinee 34 event, the President of One Championship Chatri Sityodtong also admitted that the slow -moving tape showed that RotTang did not accept the throw to the point of being counted. However, it was a situation that took place very quickly, and the referee had to make a decision in the moment with what he was observing. Therefore, from the perspective of a person holding a balance, the arbitrator has done it right.
