Takeru Segawa did something Rodtang couldn’t do at ONE 173 by knocking out ‘The Bosnian Menace’ Denis Puriu0107.
Coming off a devastating 80-second knockout loss against ‘The Iron Man’ in March, Takeru delivered a brilliant bounce-back performance in his home country, putting away Puriu0107 just before the three-minute mark of the second round.
With the clock winding down in the second stanza, Takeru unleashed a head kick that caught Puriu0107 on the chin, stumbling the Bosnian bruiser. Smelling blood in the water, ‘The Natural Born Crusher’ delivered an onslaught of strikes, sending Puriu0107 crashing to the canvas and forcing referee Olivier Coste to step in and call for the stoppage.
