ONE Friday Fights 7 - 2023-03-03
Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand
Ringing in March with 9 Muay Thai fights and 3 MMA fights including HEAVYWEIGHT MMA IN THE LUMPINEE RING.
In the main event, Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon takes on Theeradet Chor Hapayak. 19-year-old Rambolek is 4-2-1 since the beginning of 2022. He last fought on January 7, a decision victory over OFF5 main eventer Kongklai. Thaibozing describes him as a skilled left-handed boxer.
Theeradet was 1-4 in 2022, and hasn’t fought since September. He’s excited to take part in ONE because it’s “probably the biggest show in Thailand,” and he has experience with 3 round fights. He’s also been practicing in the small gloves for a month and a half for this fight. He hopes to succeed in ONE to follow in the footsteps of his idol, Nong-O.
ONE Muay Thai: Regular fights 3 rounds of 3 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 3 minutes. Scored on the 10-Point Must System, but judges must declare a winner if the points are even at the end of the fight. 3 knockdowns in a round is a TKO. Elbows allowed, no throws, no grappling. Fighters fight in the 4 oz. MMA gloves instead of boxing gloves. ONE referees tend to break up the clinch almost immediately instead of letting the fighters work out of it.
ONE MMA: Regular fights 3 rounds of 5 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 5 minutes. Bout scored in its entirety, not round-by-round. Knees to the head of a grounded opponent are legal, soccer kicks are not.
