Arsoonnoi Sitjasing delivered a composed and punishing performance against fellow Thai firecracker Nongkhailek Dr.Knotmuaythai in the flyweight Muay Thai co-main event of ONE Friday Fights 164 inside Bangkok's legendary Lumpinee Stadium on July 31.
Both men went to work right off the bat, testing each other's defense with a variety of strikes from the outside and the inside. Arsoonnoi hammered away with punches in bunches, while his Petchingchai foe responded with similar firepower.
The intensity rose dramatically in the second frame. After touching gloves, Nongkhailek caught a kick and attempted to respond with a punch, but the exchange left his chin exposed. Arsoonnoi immediately capitalized with a massive overhand right that dropped his opponent for an eight-count.
When the action resumed, Arsoonnoi attacked the body with repeated kicks and continued dictating the pace behind his punches. The Sitjasing and ARMY 3 representative stayed firmly in control as the round came to an end.
Nongkhailek, however, refused to wilt, increasing his pressure in the third stanza. Just as he appeared to find his rhythm, the 27-year-old promotional newcomer absorbed another sharp counter right hand from Arsoonnoi that sent him crashing to the canvas once more.
