Buakaw keeping an eye on Jo Nattawut and Tawanchai’s next fight after pair’s epic ONE Fight Night 15 war

Buakaw Banchamek has a long list of superstars that he’s keeping a tab on within ONE Championship’s stacked roster, but two names in particular – Jo Nattawut and Tawanchai PK Saenchai – have piqued his interest more than anyone else as of late.

Both men crossed paths at ONE Fight Night 15 last month because Superbon withdrew from the fight after picking up an injury to his leg during training.

Despite ‘Smokin’ Jo stepping up to the plate on short notice, the American-based Thai put on a valiant effort to go the distance with the ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion.

However, Tawanchai, who snuck in a unanimous decision win in only his second kickboxing fight under the ONE banner, seemingly was a bit short of his usual output per experts.

That doesn’t seem to concern Buakaw, though, as the multi-time striking world champion believes both men have plenty of time to improve their craft. On top of that, he’s keen to see them run it back with Jo Nattawut having a full camp.

He had this to say on his YouTube channel, Buakaw Banchamek, after looking back at the back-and-forth battle between them:

“Both [of them] still have a long future ahead of them. I’m looking forward to seeing how their next fights will turn out. And I think a rematch would be fun, too.”
