They said that late money made the Thai fighter go from an 8-1 underdog to a 5-1 underdog.
Seems to me like the Thais bet a bunch of money on Matthyse by 8th round KO, in response to the odds shift.
Then, they sent their guy out to survive until the 8th round, and then lie down.
That's why the fight was a stinker also, because Matthyse was out there trying to fight a hard 12 rounds against a tough fighter, and the Thai guy was simply trying to survive until round 8, so that he could then lie down for his nap time.
