Good fight but total domination from one side who was able to control the fighting distance to perfection. Sitthichai has very strong legs and use them abundantly and in a master way mainly connecting the left one with surgical precision. His punching skills has improved a lot but in my opinion his punching power is low. His rival was good too but to static.
domination !
