Round 3 saw Naruepol working off the ropes with evasive techniques and Mackenzie trying to get in close to land shots.
In Round 4 both athletes began to speed things up with Mackenzie trying to work the boxing with Naruepol landing nicely timed teeps to counter.
Round 5 was a big round for Naruepol as he landed a clean head kick knocking Mackenzie to the floor.
