It was a lopsided match in favor of 'Smokin' Jo as he dominated the Scottish contender with powerful and accurate strikes. Although he attacked both his opponent's legs and head, most of the damage was on Mann's head, where he sustained massive trauma on the right side.
At one point, the referee and the doctor almost stopped the match, but the Riddlers Gym athlete was able to finish the bout until the final bell. Nattawut picked up the unanimous decision nod from the judges to notch his second triumph in the world's largest martial arts organization.
