Knock Out Episode 6 lands us at the dinner celebration, now that they have the money to put on their own event. Petch suggests that Thun accompany Keen to speak with other boxers about joining the lineup.
On the bridge, Keen discusses his nervousness at handling such a large event but Thun isn't worried, they've made it through difficulties before. He surprises Keen with a couples' necklace to cheer him up.
The next day, the guys head out to set up some matches, finding it much easier with Phuwish behind them. Watching a young boxer and his trainer, Thun tells Keen that his first coach was his father, who introduced him to the sport. But he told him to quit when he left him and his mother. But Keen is happy he didn't give up.

That evening, the guys announce their success but one person isn't so happy. Win seems to feel outdone by Keen, even though he's the owner's son. Later he takes a few hits at the bag, venting his frustration to Ait. Just as they lean in to kiss Petch arrives to find out why they're still exercising at such a late hour. They quickly part with Win giving Ait a knee in the gut to cover up their intentions.
Finally fixing the scale, Ait tries to cheer Win up listing his talents. Deciding they can't be caught in the open, Win and Ait take it to the office, quickly undressing each other.
The promotion work continues at a photoshoot for all the boxers. Klao shows up to support Keen and chats with Bung as well. Mai can't help but tease her as she speaks to her crush. In front of the camera, Yut and Thun manage to pull out their fiercest faces.
They promote the event with a press conference, including noting Hero Fight merch. Even with high social media engagement, they've still sold less than 20% of the tickets. Mai is sure he can help with some influencer content. When Phuwish calls, Keen is afraid to face him. To try to make up the sales, he's got no choice but to accept the interview Phuwish has set up for them with Sport Gossip. But the show needs Keen to come up with some sort of gimmick. Back in the car, Thun aims to cheer him up with a message from their kangaroo plushie.
Preparing for Sports Gossip, Mai creates clips of everyone getting ready. When Yut arrives, he brings treats for everyone but Thun laughs and Keen accidentally spills water on Yut when he gets a little touchy. Noticing the laugh, Yut doesn't look too happy.
On set, Mai tries the mechanical punching bag, reaching a high score in one shot. When the show begins, Keen notes that the theme nods to a rivalry between Thun and Yut. Then they head to the punching bag for a little warm-up. Ait gets a surprisingly low score and Yut beats Thun with the hardest hit. They end the segment with closing words from Yut as he puts his arm around Keen.
When the host ships Yut and Keen, Thun loses his patience, pushing Yut. Keen quickly plays it off as part of the show. As Thun drags Keen off-set in a rage, Keen can't understand why he couldn't let it go for the sake of the event. They argue until Keen proves who he's interested in, pulling off Thun's pants. While outside, Ait sweats over getting a lower score than even Mai but Win comforts him.
Post-show, social media influencers stoke the fire over the rivalry between Thun and Yut, clearly over Keen. The chatter helps to drive sales to the point of selling out. Everyone congratulates Keen for an amazing job, at the same time, noticing that he and Thun are a couple, both smiling proudly. Watching them, Ait still seems discomfited.
In their room, Keen confesses that it's the first time he felt part of the gym's family but Thun insists he's been a part for a long time. As they kiss and cuddle, Thun tells Keen he'll always be his match. The sweetness turns to heat as they continue to touch each other.
A quick cut to Yut shows that he's taking the same drug that Typhoon did, looking just as aggressive and ready for a fight.
The Episode Review
While the pairs seem to be getting stronger, issues are popping up everywhere. No more on Ait's mystery boss, yet he's clearly not himself. Not just the punching score and his dive into under-confidence but the look of jealousy as Thun and Keen come out as a couple. Win doesn't seem anywhere near telling his Dad. Are we both thinking of that moment when Win said he would take care of Ait? Now that Win's dependent on the gym to pay his debt, that care and ability to be free is not looking likely in the near future. Ait was right – Win should've sold his truck and taken responsibility for his debt.
As Keen and Thun continue to work together and get closer, they unwittingly fire up some jealousy in both Ait and Yut for different reasons. Once again, we see Thun lose control of his emotions detrimentally. How many outbursts will it take for Keen to have fewer stars in his eyes over Thun?
Now, this last little glimpse of Yut taking the drug – who could be driving that move? Is he simply very competitive or actually trying to win Keen's love? Is it Pakorn who's the supplier or the boxing-loving Phuwish himself? Was Yut's 'quitting-boxing-to-do-charity-work-and-not-hurt-people' story all a ruse?
