Kanchai eventually demoralised Pinsiam by grabbing his left foot, forcing him to the corner of the ring and climbing on top of him.

Despite Kanchai's dominance in the match, the judges declared a draw, to the consternation of the fighters, their supporters and the crowd.

That's muay thai for you.
