Lenny Blasi And Wuttikrai Conquer Brutal Bangkok Battles

Lumpinee Stadium hosted two wars for the ages on Friday night. The headliners of The Inner Circle 28 and ONE Friday Fights 168 both went the distance, with Lenny Blasi and Wuttikrai surviving late storms to walk away with hard-fought main event victories.

Blasi controlled the terms of engagement from the opening bell in his The Inner Circle main event clash, slipping counters with slick head movement before detonating a snapping left hook that dropped Worapon in round two. Though the Thai star charged forward in desperation, Blasi stayed composed to seal the unanimous decision and improve to 32-8.

Rambong drew first blood with a thudding body kick in the co-main event, but Chartpayak refused to blink, trading blistering exchanges before finding a piston left hand in the final round that briefly floored his rival and sealed his third straight victory to jump to 72-18.

In the ONE Friday Fights 168 headliner, Chaos erupted in the third round as Habibpour fought through a crimson mask and uncorked a left hand that badly wobbled Wuttikrai, sensing a miraculous comeback. But the Thai star survived the storm on sheer will, his early accumulation of damage proving decisive for the unanimous decision at 52-20.

The co-main event saw Petphupa come out like a house on fire, piercing Brazil's guard with sharp combinations. But Brazil weathered the storm before timing a downward elbow that dropped his rival in round two before surviving a desperate final push to seal the win to go 48-15.
