War of the Heroes 8 results - Chunhawat takes home Split Decision

Coke Chunhawat and Jose Palacios met in an entertaining Muay Thai bout. Early on Palacios seemed to be in his groove as he was able to knock Chunhawat down in the first round. Chunhawat was able to survive the first round that favored Palacios and get back into the fight. The fight went all five round and neither fighter was ready to relinquish to exhaustion. Some effective clinch work helped Chunhawat, and in the end the fight could have been easily declared a draw, but the judges scored it in favor of Chunhawat as he took home a split decision victory with scores of 48-47, 49-46, and 47-48.
