Thai Veteran Prevails in Main Event Slugfest

Tengnueng Fairtex proved that experience counts when the pressure rises, edging out Tun Min Aung in a 165-pound Muay Thai main event showdown. From the opening bell, both fighters engaged in relentless close-range exchanges, refusing to give an inch.

After a brief feeling-out process, the two southpaws set a blistering pace and traded vicious strikes. Tun Min Aung pressed forward, headhunting with heavy combinations, but Tengnueng stayed composed, countering effectively and opening a cut on his opponent’s forehead with a perfectly timed left elbow.

The intensity climbed just 40 seconds into the second round when the Fairtex Training Center representative landed a shovel hook to the body followed by a thunderous left hook to the head, sending Tun Min Aung staggering. Tengnueng then delivered a crushing knee to the head, which seemed to reignite the young striker. The Myanmar prodigy regained his footing and cracked Tengnueng with a powerful right hand late in the round.

The third and final frame turned into a battle of pure determination. Tun Min Aung continued throwing high kicks and aggressive flurries, but Tengnueng matched him blow for blow with the composure of a seasoned warrior. After three high-paced rounds, the judges awarded Tengnueng Fairtex a unanimous decision victory, improving his record to 104-15-4.
