The Thai star found a home for his punches and kicks in the opening round, but he was forced to eat shots from Balyko every time he made an advance.

The Russian’s fluid movement and dexterity saw him land blows in the second frame, but it was quite a bit off Komawut’s output. The 25-year-old opted to keep the fight in proximity, and he sliced Balyko with elbows and short-ranged jabs.
