What did the ref do at the end of the fight? He grabbed him and threw him to the ground then wrapped his legs around him?? wtf???
Excellent knock out. Mathias despite of his record (20 loses) is a good muay thai fighter. Most likely he is fighting in Thailand all the time with the very usual though competition.
