Right from the opening bell, Nattawut attacked Moisa's body and legs with vicious leg kicks that he spammed in the opening round for a great opening round.
With the threat of the leg kicks made known in the first round, 'Smokin' Jo started to mix things up in the second frame by letting go of his hands and firing boxing combinations against his Ukrainian counterpart to inflict more damage.
In the third and final round, the Thai icon finally found the breakthrough with an early knockdown of Moisa using a quick right hook that dazed him. Seconds later, Nattawut scored the second knockdown with a straight right-hand punch.
