Origins 7 Results: Yodsanklai takes decision over Tentori

Origins 7 took place this past weekend in Perth, Australia. The main event featured Yodsanklai Fairtex vs. Marco Tentori. 

Tentori came out aggressive in the bout, throwing strikes in volume. Yodsanklai didn't seem affected by the volume of strikes that were thrown his way as he calmly held the center of the ring and stalked Tentori. Yodsanklai started to pick up his output in the second round and both fighters were showing a diverse arsenal as they mixed in their kicks, punches, knees and elbows together. 

The third round is when Yodsanklai really began to take control despite Tentori throwing more volume. Yodsanklai defended well from most of Tentori's strikes, and when he did connect they didn't seem to affect Yodanklai. In the fourth round a well placed elbow opened up a cut over Tentori's right eye, after Yodsanklai noticed this he targeted the eye a bit more. 

Tentori was still game in the final round until with less than a minute to go an elbow from Yodsanklai hurt Tentori, as he tried to back away Yodsanklai followed with a knee and Tentori dropped to his knees and received an 8-count from the referee. Tentori was able to make it to the end of the fight in a valiant effort, but the judges awarded Yodsanklai a unanimous decision. With the win Yodsanklai has now won 20 consecutive fights, and has not lost since November of 2011.

Yodsanklai Fairtex vs. Marco Tentori set as main event for Origins 7 on August 8th in Australia

Rumors of Yodsanklai Fairtex vs. Giorgio Petrosyan circulated like crazy earlier this week. Although the Thai super star wont be stepping into the ring against Petrosyan, he will be fighting in August. He will be headlining Origins 7 in Perth, Australia against Marco "Machine Gun" Tentori.

Yodsanklai needs little introduction as he is one of the most popular Muay Thai fighters of all time. It seemed his career was coming to an end late 2011, but a new dedication to training saw him storm back into the spotlight in 2012 and has since won 19 consecutive fights. Names like Victor Nagbe, Marat Grigorian, Yohan Lidon, and Kem Sitsonpeenong are among the fighters he has beat during his current run. 

Tentori is an ISKA Muay Thai Commonwealth Champion, and has been in the ring with some of Australia's more recognized fighters. He went the distance with Steve Moxon dropping a decision to him, but holds a decision win over Franki Giorgi. Yodsanklai will easily be the toughest test of Tentori's career. Known for his rapid fire approach that earned him the nickname "Machine Gun", Tentori will have to put on the performance of his career against Yodsanklai, and if he does he will immediately garner the attention from Muay Thai fans around the world.
