ONE Friday Fights 7 main event recap: Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon shuts the lights out of Theeradet Chor Hapayak with thunderous KO

Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon made a stunning first impression on ONE Championship fans with a thunderous knockout victory at ONE Friday Fights 7 on Friday, March 3, inside the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The 19-year-old phenom took away Theeradet Chor Hapayak’s consciousness with a brutal two-punch combination at the 10-second mark of the second round of their 143 lbs. catchweight Muay Thai bout.

The Thai sluggers measured each other up early on with chopping leg kicks as soon as the bell sounded.

It was an “anything you can do, I can do better” type of ordeal in round 1, as Theeradet countered with the exact same strikes that Rambolek fired off.

The Kiatpetch Gym standout, however, proved his boxing was crisper with a stunning Theeradet with a beautiful two-punch combination at the halfway mark of the first canto.

Turns out, that laser-quick two-piece was just a preview of things to come.

The 24-year-old tried to end the round strong by being the aggressor, but his shots were unable to penetrate Rambolek’s defenses.

Rambolek nailed him with another gorgeous right cross just as the first three minutes expired.

After getting his rhythm in round 1, Rambolek did not waste time and put away the Chor Hapayak Gym representative in the early goings of round 2.

He got within striking range and unloaded a crushing left to the body that lowered Theeradet’s guard.

With his opponent’s chin exposed, Rambolek followed it up with a nasty right hook that ended Theeradet’s night for good, as he crashed onto the mat violently.

Post-fight, an ecstatic Rambolek told Mitch Chilson about his preparations for his promotional debut:

“I feel very happy. I feel like I’m so well prepared with my elbows, knees, and punches.”

He added:

“Yes, that is part of my plan to kick on his body and punch him to knock him out.”

Apart from the victory, Rambolek also took home a well-deserved 350,000 baht performance bonus from the promotion's Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong.

Rambolek improved his career record to 61-12-3, while Theeradet dropped to 70-27-2.
