Sakmongkol using teeps to defeat the heavy-handed Ramon Dekkers

[mtgifs]

This is a great fight and it's worth watching the whole thing. What stood out to me was how Sakmongkol used teeps to control distance and punish Dekkers for trying to close and use his hands.

This was a great technical fight. It wasn't just teeps, it was never standing in punching range in both directions. He was either teeping and long striking or smothering in the clinch. Always too far or too close. Nice GIFs.

Good point. I made some gifs of punch defense and clinch entry, too.

This is great. It sums up the whole fight, which turned out to be something of a blow out. He completely took Dekkers' weapons off line and made a very talented fighter look one-dimensional, and did so with only a few tools himself. I loved that high left hand guard he used, gluing his hand up there from the beginning. You could tell he came in with a plan. And your last GIF is so symbolic. It must have been a very frustrating fight for Dekkers.
