“I adapted” - Tawanchai says he was biding his time in stunning finish against Superbon at ONE 170

Tawanchai knew it was just a matter of time before he'd put Superbon away.

After going the distance the first time around, Tawanchai was determined to make a statement in his rematch with the undisputed featherweight kickboxing king.

70 seconds into the second round, he did exactly that, putting Superbon away in spectacular fashion to retain his ONE featherweight Muay Thai world championship and extend his unbeaten streak to eight straight.

Speaking at the ONE 170 post-fight press conference, Tawanchai knew that getting the finish against Superbon was just a matter of taking his time and adapting. Even so, the Thai titleholder was complimentary of the challenge his opponent presented.

"Now I know his plan, and coming in on the second round, I adapted, and I try to counter with everything that I have as well. But all in all, I believe that Superbon trained and planned for this fight very well."
