It's quite easy to say that Jonathan Haggerty is one of the best strikers in the world today. He wouldn't be a two-sport ONE bantamweight world champion if he isn't. His full arsenal of strikes - from punches to kicks to knees to elbows - can shut your lights out in an instant.
In a recent post by ONE Championship, Jonathan Haggerty was shown landing a powerful left hook to the body that would make boxing legend Micky Ward proud:
Fans took to the comments section to react to the clip:
@krakken_black and @macielk_ had the perfect boxing references for it:
"Shades of the Irish Micky Ward double left hook."
"Tyson always did that."
@rylvnd21 gave some valuable insight into Haggerty's upcoming bout with Superlek Kiatmoo9:
"I think he’s gonna surprise people if he can handle the leg kicks. Superleks kicks are the best but Haggerty is gonna be too smart for a lot of the setups to the head unless his legs get beat up. He also definitely has a serious advantage in boxing range where many of Superleks opponents have had some success. As exceptional as Superlek is I find his style a bit basic and I think Haggerty will be able to break it down"
