Relive Superbon’s epic head-kick knockout of legendary Giorgio Petrosyan

In 2021, Superbon delivered one of the best knockouts in ONE Championship’s history. As he prepares to return this week, it’s a perfect time to look back on it.

At ONE: First Strike in October 2021, he challenged for the ONE featherweight kickboxing world championship against Giorgio Petrosyan. The Italian had won four straight in ONE Championship, earning a shot at the belt in Singapore.

The entire fight and its dramatic conclusion have now been uploaded to ONE Championship’s YouTube channel:

Throughout the fight, it was clear that the Thai striker was reading his opponent and attempting to set him up. Using a wide array of kicks, over time he brought Petrosyan’s hands down to protect his midsection.

As every head kick that he threw got closer and closer to landing clean, it was only a matter of time before Superbon found a home for it. By watching the finish in slow-motion, fans can see his perfect set-up for the head kick that shook the combat sports world.

After landing a body kick, Petrosyan responded with a counter punch, throwing a straight left hand. When the left hand returned to position, it dropped low and created a perfect opening for the head kick.

As soon as it landed, the fight was over and Superbon was declared world champion, which he remains to this day.
