It has been months, but ONE Championship chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong still can't stop raving about Superlek Kiatmoo9's excellence in his destruction of Japanese kickboxing icon 'The Natural Born Crusher' Takeru Segawa earlier this year. And we can't blame him.
Superlek turned in an epic performance against Takeru at ONE 165 in January, dominating the Japanese star across five rounds to take home a unanimous decision victory on the judges' scorecards and keep the ONE flyweight kickboxing world title over his shoulders.
In an interview with Sportskeeda MMA, Sityodtong couldn't contain his amazement. He said:
"On the surface, it was like he was only doing leg kicks. But if you look at how he was setting things up, how he was disrupting Takeru's massive power punches, the angles, the little tricks, the off-balancing, and the chain and speed of his strikes -- he was really not allowing Takeru to settle down and recognize his patterns. That's again, just genius-level stuff. And at the same time, he has massive power. He packs an incredible kick and he's got solid punching power."
