Thai CH7: Seansuree Moonsuree vs. Tatsuya Fukuhara II RBR

Just in time for, most likely, a NC or TD or some other anticlimactic BS...

 

Round 3

Moonsuree is pawing out the left jab, playing a little patty-cake with Fukuhara scooting backward and shaking out the right glove in his direction, like a baby's rattle. Neither man snapping any real punches just yet, as they are not getting into range to do so. A few tense moments as Moonsuree tries whipping a right up top, but it doesn't reach, and Fukuhara's reply is a plunging left that also whizzes past Moonsuree's head. No contact being made save by the opposite handed jabs, and even those are only really touching each other. Moonsuree puts his chin down and tilts himself inward, rear heel popping off the canvas as he drives a right hand into the body under Fukuhara's guard, just grazing.

10-9 Moonsuree, close

29-28 Moonsuree

 

Come on Tats..

 

Round 4

Moonsuree is baiting Fukuhara with the left up-jab, sliding into a wide stance, nearly a split, arms down, scissoring his legs in close together as he quickly jerks himself away every time Fukuhara lurches in, and countering with a 1-2. Fukuhara is walking into the counter right 1-2 and uppercut willingly, so long as he can dig a body shot or stretch a long right jab into Moonsuree's gob. Fukuhara just trying to build his confidence by getting in some licks, of any kind, period, anything to just feel some impact beneath his knuckles. Moonsuree is toying with him, dancing around, throwing pot shot jabs at the head. Fukuhara is jabbing over the crew-cut as Moonsuree ducks in close, and then laying the right arm over him, enveloping him into roughhousing clinches. Some dude leans under the bottom rope with a yellow vuvuzela and startles Fukuhara - somebody arrest or kill that man, immediately, wtf.

10-9 Moonsuree

39-37 Moonsuree

 

WBC open scoring through four:

39-37 x3

I don't speak Thai but take a wild guess for whom.

 

Round 5

Moonsuree is playing keep-away, repelling the now somewhat daunted challenger with two-armed shoves, doing matador turns past him and then working that jab up from the hip. Moonsuree is crossing his arms to block when Fukuhara comes bearing down on him pumping out both fists, headhunting to no avail. Moonsuree is countering with lead uppercuts splitting the guard followed by left hooks up top. Fukuhara keeps flurrying after the bell, getting frustrated.

10-9 Moonsuree, close

49-46 Moonsuree
