One 172 is probably the best fight card I’ve ever seen

[decidingpaper]

Definitely one of the biggest upsets in ONE

[AliveBread]

He was caught with the same move... 10:44 and 8sec later got caught again 10:52 . It was a calculated shot by Noir not a lucky shot like many claimed...

[LucrativePerson]

This was a massive shock to me but hey you did amazing Noiri Japan is really producing champion fighters left and right

[wilsonc]

That body shot at 10:49 did some serious damage

[IceCubE]

Maasaki Noiri is no slouch
He beat Liam Harrison at 19 years old fighting at GLORY with a knee that cut him.

Boxing Masterclass from Noiki.

- Closed the distance beautifully. Nullified teeps by using angles and got into boxing range.
- Utilized the Philly Shell, Long Guard and Double Forearm Guard beautifully when he finally got into close range. This nullified Tawanchai's boxing.
- Tawanchai's biggest weapon is his left roundhouse to the head. Keeping his right hand up, Low kicking the right lead leg and performing step-in punches disrupted Tawanchai's kicks.
- Most importantly, Noiri went after the body. That's boxing 101. Attack the body and the head will drop. The Liver Shots were the money shots and inturn opened up for the left hook.

Outstanding job by Noiri.

Respect to the referee for lightning quick stopping the fight to prevent further damage to Tawanchai.

Behind Masaaki Noiri is Yuki Yoza, he is also a great martial artist, if he joins
One Championship will be the top candidate for the championship !

[NaughtyDricus]

This was my first time tuning into ONE and I had heard so much of tawanchai. When he got dropped I was shook

[chetrasok]

8:27 that right hand stunned Tawanchai and from then the balance of the fight shifted

[Querulant]

We need Noiri vs Superbon in Kickboxing

[ZlyP]

People seem to forget Masaaki has been a Kickboxing champion in K-1 and his resumé is actually better than Takeru

[crmonke]

tawanchai keeps dropping his right hand in fights and noiri used that opening perfectly. tawanchai is my favorite fighter and he's still young, he still hasn't reached his prime yet, I'm so excited to see a prime tawanchai in 5-10 years

[browneye]

If you think this is an upset, you don’t know who Noiri is

[aequ]

Not really a huge upset like the casuals are saying. If you know who Noiri is, he's the phenom of kickboxing who's been in the scene for years.

[macdaddynaynay]

That Hook Was Fire! Cant Wait for The Unification fight!

[josephsteele]

Tawanchi couldn’t handle being pressured!

[mjung]

Tawanchai had no answer on the inside without the clinch, Noiri boxed beautifully and rose to the occasion being on home soil.
