Just one shot. Koo Tae-won won the game with a faint KO with a 'back spin blow'.

Gu Tae-won (24, Aqzim) won Thailand's Kunkrai PK Sanchai (25) in 2:58 of the first round in the -58kg Muay Thai match against Fairtex Fight at Lumbini Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on the 14th (Korea time).

Gu Tae-won is a former member of the WAKO national team and has a record of 17 wins and 10 losses. In March, he became the 58kg champion at HERO 6. He has already demonstrated his ability with strong batting and skills. Kunkrai PK Sanchai is a veteran with a record of 53 wins, 46 losses and two draws.

Gu Tae-won passed 57.7 kg and Kunkry PK Sanchai 58 kg in the previous day's weight.

A fierce batting match was expected, but the game was a little different. Gu Tae-won moved quickly. He started with a strategy of hitting and losing. However, Kunkrai continued to rush in and hit Gu Tae-won. He grabbed Gu Tae-won's neck trying to get out and fired a strong knee kick, and drove Gu Tae-won with kicks and punches.

At the moment when he thought it would not be an easy game for Gu Tae-won, Gu Tae-won, who was coming out of the clinch, turned around and hit a backspin bloop with his right arm, which hit Kunkrai's face. Kunkrai goes down and fainted. The game ended as it was. There were two seconds left before the end of the first round. Kunkrai was devastated and had to be helped down as he was unable to walk properly when he later went down from the ring.
