Quality fight from both guys.
This is a Thai thing. They do the same while trying to take each others face out with elbows at Lumpini in Muay Thai matches. Thai sparring is also playful and relaxed. They put a big emphasis into keeping tension away during a fight. This does not only breeds this type of sportsmen, but it also breeds huge punchers and fighters with very good stamina.
