Full rules Muay Thai has come to New York. Friday Night Fights became the first promotion to host a full rules event in New York last night and the fights did not disappoint. In the night’s main event Las Vegas native Anthony Castrejon made quick work of Mohammed Lemjerdine. A head kick 47 seconds into the first round ended the bout. It was an impressive knockout for Castrejon, and a surprise to many. Lemjerdine is a highly touted fighter from Connecticut, but Castrejon used some nice foot work and timing to land the fight ending kick.
In the night’s co-main event Villi Bello and Turan Hasanov met in a re-match of their 2011 barn burner. In the first encounter Hasanov took home a judge’s decision, but this time around it wouldn’t go the distance. In the fourth round Bello scored a (T)KO victory due to leg kicks over Hasanov to event things up between them at one a piece.
In the first full rules Muay Thai fight in New York Elijah Clarke scored a KO victory over Gil Pinheiro, and it couldn’t have come in a more appropriate way. In the fourth round Clarke landed some elbows and a knee to end the bout and get the win in his pro debut.
