Amnat Ruenroeng vs. Kazuto Ioka & Katsunari Takayama vs. Shin Ono RBR

Round 5

Ruenroeng is lashing out with right jabs, lefts, and right hooks, all while scissoring his legs, never settling. Ioka is doubling a jab up high and then ripping left hooks into the body. Ioka is cutting the ring off and keeping the pressure on and the high guard raised in a forward-leaning crouch. Jabs and body shots by Ioka while Ruenroeng skates around him.

10-9 Ioka

48-47 Ioka

 

Round 6

Ruenroeng is backing away, nearly into the ropes, then propelling in with arms crossed in a protective shell to flop onto Ioka, holding. Ioka keeps jabbing Ruenroeng in the face, snapping his head back, and pounding at his sides with hooks, always with his knees bent for extra torque. Ioka is bobbing and weaving in, getting tied up at every turn but simply bucking Ruenroeng off and nailing him with stiff lefts on the face when not working the body.

10-9 Ioka

58-56 Ioka

 

Ruenroeng went into full spoiler mode there in the 6th, his expression a bit panicky.

 

Round 7

Ruenroeng is jabbed into a corner and unable to escape. Ruenroeng is standing up tall, gloves bunched up a couple of inches out from his face, dispensing warning jabs and taking quick lateral steps in either direction. Ioka stays with him, heading off the pass, bobbing in with stiff jabs and body shots. Ioka is baiting Ruenroeng, following and sticking a high jab, daring Ruenroeng to counter with his longer reach. Ruenroeng flicks a right hand lead past Ioka's jab but takes a backward step while firing, limiting its potency. Ruenroeng is running and holding. Ioka keeps pressing in, doing his Tyson imitation, bob & weave behind a peekaboo, catching the long desperate right uppercuts of Ruenroeng on his forearms.

10-9 Ioka

68-65 Ioka
