Roots 29: Redemption Song Results

Melbourne Pavilion was alive with energy as Roots 29: Redemption Song took over with a lineup of Victorian and interstate Muay Thai talent. In the main event, Victoria’s rising Super Welterweight star Daniel Matthews displayed his class, defeating America’s Max Cruz via decision after five high-paced rounds. Matthews’ well-rounded game and explosive left kicks impressed the local crowd as he solidified his status as one to watch.

The co-main event saw fast-rising talent Jack “The Manager” Bennett extend his unbeaten record, overcoming North Queensland’s Deegan Martin in a tough three-round contest. The 8 Blade Warriors-trained Middleweight now sits at 9-0 in his professional career.

The Super Lightweight matchup featured a close split decision victory for Victoria’s Quang Pham, who edged out Sydney’s promising Kobe Sandilands in a technical and hard-fought contest.
