At the beginning of the fight, Thiago Marreta already demonstrated that he would have a performance quite different from what lovers of the fighting world are used to. Always very active in striking, the fighter preferred to surprise Jamahal Hill and bet on takedown attempts. However, the rival was prepared to defend the Brazilian’s strategy.
With that, Thiago Marreta didn’t find space to succeed in the fight. Even with a few moments of striking between the fighters, the dispute was always more favorable for Jamahal Hill, who continued to connect good blows to the Brazilian and waited for the right moment to attack and be declared the winner.
And that’s exactly what happened. In the fourth round, Thiago Marreta suffered a knockdown from his opponent and went to the ground. Even trying to defend himself from Jamahal Hill’s actions, the Brazilian couldn’t react and saw the referee stop the fight and declare the TKO against him. The right hit happened in the middle of the penultimate round.
