ONE Championship flyweights Hu Yong and Woo Sung Hoon were the second set of fighters to enter the ring inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium for a ONE Fight Night 11 showdown. Both fighters were looking to score back-to-back wins, with each coming off a victory in their last outing.
South Korea’s Woo Sung Hoon entered the bout 10-3 overall with a first-round knockout against Yuya Wakamatshu in his last appearance, while China’s Hu Yong stepped into the ring with an equally impressive 10-4 overall record and his own first-round KO against Geje Eustaquio in October.
Both fighters came out swinging in the early going, but Hu Yong was able to close the distance and work Woo to the ground. Woo worked his way back up but immediately paid for it with a nasty left hook from Hu that sent him to the mat. Hu moved in for the kill, but Woo was able to scramble and escape danger.
Ninety seconds left in the round, Woo Sung Hoon was able to turn the tables, working Hu to the canvas. Taking his opponent’s back, Woo threatened a rear-naked choke, but Hu managed to break free and get back to his feet.
