Even though I’m a fan of Tawanchai and I was upset that he loses but, I was happy to see an honorable man like Noiri who works hard to provide for his family and they came to support him in the arena.

[Justanotherlostsoul]

Damn.. fair play to Noiri. And bless his family up there in the ring with him. What a special moment ❤

[wulvdcy]

They both are good fighter, they made me remember Masato and Buakaw

[decidingpaper]

Quite possibly THE biggest upset in ONE history

[DavidNieto-kfsc]

This was one hell of an upset, but I have nothing but respect for Noiri for this

[CyberDragon-ls]

Damn I had tears in my eyes when I saw his happiness and family.
This is like a boxing anime moment.

[Wongleezhen]

Said he was probably going to win by ko in an interview before the match and he did just that. Damn 🥶😮

[farmmysirab]

The Noiri family is so special beyond words.🥹🤍

Masaaki Noiri finest moment. What a fierce champion! incredible skill!

[Adontheimperfectionist]

People that knew who Noiri was prior to his fights in one knew he would be tawanchai's toughest fight

[iScoopyPal]

I predicted this fight but failed in the Rodtang-Takeru fight. It was all in their attitudes toward the fight. Tawanchai was too comfortable and pampered for a long time. He was serious but didn't step up. He adopted a very cautious and defensive posture. There was no level change in his strikes as Noiri absorbed them well. Noiri was serious and determined to win. He preserved his power and unleashed these body shots at close range at the right opportunity. Tawanchai's team didn't do enough homework on Noiri. If you trade in the inside with Noiri, your chance is 20%. His body shots are notoriously nasty! Champions need a wake-up call! There will be a rematch.

[beeno]

His defense was very good. Reminded me of Strickland v Izzy. But 10x better striking

[AnhLe-xydn]

I love this guy, although his face looks like a villain in some movie I watched before. But when I saw his small family, my impression changed. He defeated Tawanchai's empire.

[Razorloft]

Tawanchai under estimated the power by Noiri. He got lax with his defense and got lulled by Noiri’s predictability coming forward and he forgot his defense with the ropes behind him. Good fight! Retmach should be a good one ☝️

[jamur]

awesome fight, i look forward to the rematch between these two men. congrats to noiri🤘

[supanun]

ยินดีด้วยนะ ❤ คุณเก่งมาก ฉันรักทั้ง2คน ❤️❤️

[ogikilla]

That's amazing! Congrats! You deserve it all

*This one hurt, my jaw actually dropped.*

[oldschooldamnawesome]

If you are shocked, you are a casual...this is why superbon and buakaw are the best muay thai fighter in kickboxing
