Reigning and undisputed ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion and current first-ranked featherweight Muay Thai contender Superbon of Thailand believes that if he can just find a way to deal with Tawanchai PK Saenchai's biggest strengths, he will have the win in the bag.
Against the reigning ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion, Superbon faces a Tawanchai that has ungodly speed and concussive knockout power. However, the 34-year-old icon says if he can get past that, double champ status is well within reach.
Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Superbon talked about Tawanchai's best traits, and how he plans on handling his Thai countryman.

The Superbon Training Camp founder said:
"I think Tawanchai has highlighted his strong points in terms of the damage he can cause. I feel like he’s confident about that and the speed of his kicks. Also, his striking distance. I feel like he has emphasized on that but he neglects fixing his weaknesses that he has. That means if I can defend myself from his highlighted weapons, I’d be able to win."
