Rising Thai Muay Thai sensation and current third-ranked ONE featherweight Muay Thai contender Shadow Singha Mawynn of Thailand believes his recent fight should have been credited to his striking technique rather than an accidental eye poke that ended the bout and produced a no contest.
The 25-year-old Singha Mawynn Gym representative has been making waves in ONE Championship's featherweight Muay Thai division. Shadow's recent performance showcased his technical prowess and finishing ability against a tough opponent in 'The Eagle' Mohamed Younes Rabah.
But just as things were starting to get good, the action was halted due to the accidental eye poke.
