The Pressure of Fighting in Bangkok

During the fighter introductions, the crowd leaned toward the hometown favorite, Panpayak, who aimed to secure his second consecutive win after a three-year drought. Meanwhile, Asadula Imangazaliev had to deal with the constant pressure of the crowd against him.

From the opening round, Panpayak took the initiative, throwing several leg kicks to destabilize his rival and use his five-centimeter height advantage.

The Decisive Blow by Asadula Imangazaliev

Despite the Thai fighter’s efforts, Asadula Imangazaliev tried to capitalize on his opponent’s mistakes. He used his trademark head kick, although Panpayak managed to block it multiple times.

However, with one minute left in the first round, the Russian found his chance and delivered a powerful right-leg kick that landed flush on the Thai’s face. The strike was so strong it nearly sent Panpayak out of the ring.

The referee immediately stopped the fight and declared a K.O. victory for Asadula Imangazaliev, who extended his unbeaten record to six wins in his young career. On the other hand, the Thai fighter added his third loss in his last five bouts.
