Reigning and undisputed ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion 'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9 of Thailand doesn't just collect belts and accolades, he collects world-class techniques.
Superlek, in particular, showcased a technique he learned from Japanese kickboxing icon Takeru Segawa, after facing the flyweight great earlier this year in Tokyo.
'The Kicking Machine' used Takeru's own signature body kick against his most recent opponent, Kongthoranee Sor Sommai, whom he defeated via unanimous decision at ONE Friday Fights 68 in Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium last weekend.
Speaking to the media at the official ONE Friday Fights 68 post-fight interviews, Superlek talked about using Takeru's technique.
