Watch how former ONE bantamweight kickboxing champion Petchanong originally won the belt back in 2022 against Japanese Karateka Hiroki Akimoto, in an exciting bout between the two kick-heavy strikers.
Petchanong used his tricky southpaw stance and excellent fight IQ to land brutal left round kicks and beautifully timed knees, all while using fleet footwork to keep the Karateka at bay. What made for a thrilling kickboxing match and an excellent showing of the Thais’ fight IQ was their excellent distance management and timing.
