Good fight displaying a quite active fighter with a very unorthodox fighting style. Due to his good displacements and by keeping always the right distance which suit better his style he got an easy victory. The Thai wait too much to pass to the aggression considering it was only 3 rounds match.
Larsen reminds me very much of Artem Levin with his unorthodox, awkward style (which I personally don’t like too much). He’s decent on the outside because of the reach advantage he has, but on the inside, he resorts a lot to clinching.
In a typical fashion, Sitmonchai waited too long and didn’t mount anything of significance for the first half of the fight, but I have a feeling he’d have taken over if this was a 5 rounder.
