Ev Ting overcame a significant weight disadvantage and one dissenting judge to score a split-decision win over Kamal Shalorus in today’s “ONE Championship 52: Throne of Tigers” headliner. Ting (13-3), who’s spent most of his time fighting at featherweight before recently moving up to lightweight, decided to compete in the online-streamed pay-per-view main event at Stadium Negara in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, despite Shalorus (9-5-2) missing weight by eight pounds. It wasn’t easy when Ting stepped in the cage, but he showed grit and determination by trading heavy strikes with Shalorus for all three rounds before edging out the win on the scorecards. Given Shalorus’ decorated grappling background, at least some grappling was expected. Neither fighter seriously dedicated his efforts to takedowns or submissions, though, and opened the door to heated striking exchanges. The back-and-forth striking exchanges were tightly contested.
