Belarusian brawler Antar Kacem wrapped up ONE Friday Fights 90 with a highlight-reel moment against Thai stand-up specialist Kongklai Sor Sommai in their 143.8-pound catchweight Muay Thai.
The Team Mehdi Zatout and Team Nasser K put his height and reach advantage to good use against Kongklai, dancing around his opposite number and picking him apart with the better shots inside the Lumpinee Stadium on December 6.
Everything he threw landed with pinpoint accuracy. And the 25-year-old made sure to always follow up with a couple more, which gave him some much-needed confidence as the second round started on the promotion's latest ONE Friday Fights card.
Though many expected him to go in search of the spectacular, Kacem stayed patient and allowed Kongklai to advance. Unfortunately, it was merely a tactic to draw the 26-year-old Thai inside the pocket.

Kacem sprung into action and landed a thumping right hook that put his foe down and out for good at only 45 seconds of the second round. Kacem's triumph moved his overall resume to 55-11.
