Too fast, too strong. Brad Riddell has come away with a unanimous decision victory over Aussie Muay Thai Legend John Wayne Parr overnight in the Caged Muay Thai 8 main event.
From the outset Riddell dominated the fight dropping Parr twice in the first round with devastating left hooks. Parr was forced to answer the standing eight count a further two times both in rounds three and four.
Riddell came into the rematch in phenomenal shape and looked spectacular in a fight that he never looked like losing. Parr, however, showed once again his warrior spirit and a never-say-die attitude. While he lost all rounds on the judges’ scorecards, he continued to fight hard right to the final bell showing why he is such a legend of the sport.
With the impressive victory, the Kiwi avenges a decision loss he suffered at the hands of the Aussie great back in 2013.
CMT 8 took place at the Logan Metro Sports Centre in Crestmead, Queensland. In addition to the super fight main event, the show also featured three title fights.
