Liam Harrison sees Nabil Anane crumbling to Nico Carrillo's dynamite hands at ONE 170: "He will have never been hit as hard"

Liam Harrison believes Nabil Anane will get cold feet when he faces the wrath of Nico Carrillo's unforgiving fists at ONE 170.

The pair duke out for the ONE interim bantamweight Muay Thai world title in the co-main event of ONE 170, which emanates live from the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

Both men head into this fixture on lengthy winning streaks, and most combat sports analysts see this five-round duel as an evenly stacked tie that could end with either striker emerging victorious. Not Liam Harrison, though.

Ahead of their clash for gold this Friday, Jan. 24, 'Hitman' told the promotion that Anane's inexperience in handling someone with the concussive punching power of 'King of the North' could be his biggest downfall.

The British martial arts icon said:

"He will have never been hit as hard as he's about to get hit."

As impressive as fifth-ranked Anane has looked throughout his tenure in the promotion, it's hard to disagree with Harrison's theory.

Nico Carrillo's knockout power and educated hands have seen him quickly rack up a 4-0 run in the circle. All his victories have come inside the distance.

The No. 2-ranked bantamweight Muay Thai contender even slept the likes of former divisional king Nong-O Hama and world title challenger Saemapetch Fairtex in his run to the pinnacle of the division.

Now, that the 26 pounds of gold is there for the taking, rest assured the Scotsman is charged to the nines to dish out another vintage display to set up a world title unification contest against two-sport world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9.
