Superlek Kiatmoo9 made sure there were no surprises from his game opponent Kongthoranee Kiatmoo9 in the penultimate match of ONE Friday Fights 68: Prajanchai vs Di Bella on Prime Video on June 28 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

As advertised, 'The Kicking Machine' controlled the match from start to finish, using his blistering kicks to keep Kongthoranee at bay in their three-round flyweight Muay Thai clash.

The sheer volume of Superlek's strikes forced his compatriot on the defensive in round 1. Kongthoranee, a two-time Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion, attempted to turn the tide in the second canto by breaching the distance.

However, the ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion was simply a step ahead, rocking him with high elbows and punishing knees each time he got too close.

It was the same scenario in the final round, where Superlek proved he was levels above Kongthoranee with a brutal assault.

While the 27-year-old Thai managed to reach the final horn, it was clear he got outclassed by arguably one of the pound-for-pound best strikers in the world today.

Official result: Superlek defeats Kongthoranee via unanimous decision

The decisive win stretched Superlek's winning streak to 10 while putting a halt to Kongthoranee's seven consecutive triumphs.
