As far as Liam Harrison is concerned, Nico Carrillo is well-equipped to solve Nabil Anane's gigantic puzzle.
The promising 6-foot-4 Algerian-Thai superstar has used his intimidating physical gifts to disrupt the stacked bantamweight Muay Thai division.
Anane quickly broke into the top five after winning his last five fights, which included victories over credentialed names like Nakrob Fairtex, Kulabdam Sor Jo Piek Uthai, and even former world title challenger Felipe Lobo.
Then again, if there's anybody who can send the towering star back down to earth, it's definitely the hard-hitting Carrillo.

Liam Harrison certainly thinks so, as he weighed on this upcoming showdown at ONE 170. 'Hitman' told ONE Championship in a recent interview:
"The way I see it, Nico will kick his legs to bits with leg kicks and going for his body. If Nabil comes inside to knee, Nico will step off and land big, flush hooks.”
Anane has valiantly stepped in as a replacement for bantamweight Muay Thai kingpin Superlek Kiatmoo9, who begged off due to a knee injury.
However, Harrison believes it will be tough for Anane to claim the interim bantamweight Muay Thai crown against a proven destroyer like Nico Carrillo.
We'll soon see if the Scottish mauler can chop down Anane and slow down his hype train at ONE 170, which will emanate from Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand on Jan. 24.
The full event will air live in Asian primetime via watchonefc.com.
Nico Carrillo says Nabil Anane's height is the only thing he has going on
Standing at 6-foot-4 with a pterodactyl-like wingspan, Nabil Anane is truly a terror for everyone in the bantamweight Muay Thai ranks.
However, the fearless Nico Carrillo remains undaunted about his next opponent's physical advantages.
In his own interview with ONE, 'King of The North' confidently claimed he'll find a way to bridge the distance and break Anane's defenses to claim 26 pounds of gold:
"He's good, but I don't think he'd be as good as he is if he didn't have his height advantage. Nonetheless, he is good. I don't really have a bad thing to say about him."
