ONE bantamweight Muay Thai athlete, 'Hitman' Liam Harrison, is more than just a brawler - he is a born tactician as well. To the untrained eye, it's easy to miss his technical know-how as almost all his fights turn into wild firefights.
With a career starting all the way back to the 1990's, Liam Harrison collected an unparalleled wealth of experience in the sport. This allowed him to become not just one of the most technically savvy fighters, but also one of the most knowledgeable trainers today.
In a recent instructional video uploaded to his Instagram, 'Hitman' demonstrated how to masterfully deal with an opponent's darting teep kick:

In the video, Liam Harrison explained:
"Counter the teep with power punches. All I'm gonna do is step back. As I do that, I'm gonna pull all his weight to my left. From there, I'm gonna open him up [so] I can throw a powerful left hook."
He continued:
"If your opponent's hands come up, you can go down to the body. Step there [with] a body shot."
What 'Hitman' did here is to use his opponent's kick's momentum against him by catching it and pulling it away from alignment. This way, his opponent will be out of position to defend himself from the oncoming counterattack.
