After taking the fight at only two weeks notice and being told at the last minute the bout had been changed from amateur to pro Rob was unlucky to lose via unanimous decision at The Regal, Oxfordshire

This was Rob’s first Muay Thai bout and as the bell went in the first, his opponent looked cool and relaxed delivering some well placed front and head kicks. Rob took a few hard shots but recovered well and picked up his movement, finding his range and landing, some clean crosses,hooks and kicks to end the first round.

The second round started more slowly giving Rob an easier job of setting up some good punches while evading his opponent’s heavy straight combinations, a lack of concentration saw Rob crash to the canvas by a clever leg sweep.. The third round started in the same fashion as the second with Rob keeping his boxing form, picking his shots and moving his opponent from corner to corner. Experienced fighter Joshua, shown that this clearly was not his first ever bout as Banbury’s Nak Rop Muay Thai was told, started to get the upper hand. Rob showed true courage and heart to take the fight the FULL five rounds and gave a real good fight.
