“I respect both of them” – Wondergirl says Superlek and Takeru started 2024 with a bang after crazy war

Thai superstar Nat ‘Wondergirl’ Jaroonsak, like everyone else who tuned in to ONE 165: Superlek vs. Takeru last January in Tokyo, was absolutely blown away by the action she had witnessed between two elite flyweight strikers in a five-round war in the evening’s main event.

‘The Kicking Machine’ Superlek Kiatmoo9 defended his throne against a game Takeru in front of a sold-out crowd at the Ariake Arena. The Thai superstar ended up winning a wide unanimous decision to retain his ONE Championship gold in an action-packed affair worthy of the pay-per-view ask.

Speaking to the South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Nat ‘Wondergirl’ Jaroonsak shared her thoughts on that epic fight between Superlek and Takeru.

The 25-year-old from Pattaya, Thailand, said:

“Oh my God, that fight was incredible. To start the year with that fight, it’s just crazy. I respect both of them.”
