ONE bantamweight Muay Thai star Liam Harrison is one of the most exciting fighters in the sport today. This is due to his balls-to-the-wall brawling style that almost always produces highlights in every fight. What's highly underrated, however, is his sense of technical mastery.
It may not seem like it, but 'The Hitman' is one of the best tacticians in Muay Thai today. Just look at the daily instructional content he posts on his Instagram page. In one of his most recent posts, Liam Harrison demonstrates how to perfectly land a left hand and use it to open up other strikes:

Obviously, Harrison is highly proficient in understanding body mechanics and human behavioral conditioning. He has mastered the concept of a 'set up' in Muay Thai and uses it to find openings to land the blow that he ultimately wants to land.
It's quite remarkable how he is also willing to share his trade secrets to his fans online. Conventional wisdom says that a master will only share his secrets when he's already retired and out of the game. Liam Harrison is still active but is willing to share how to possibly beat him in the ring. That's absolute confidence.
Speaking of fan interactions, Harrison was recently seen in Denver, Colorado on May 5 to promote ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III. Together with fellow ONE athletes Danielle Kelly and ONE strawweight world champion Jarred Brooks, Harrison interacted with the fans, spoke with the media and of course, watched the fights.
Speaking to ONE Championship, Liam Harrison described the whole experience:
“I loved being out there and being a part of it, doing all the media stuff. It was nice, even though I wasn’t fighting myself, to still be around the show and just be a part of it all, especially for the first one in the U.S.”
Harrison is currently sidelined due to injury but is expected to return to action in ONE Championship later this year. ONE Fight Night 10 replays are available for free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America.
