After edging past Panrit Lukjaomaesaiwaree in their first fight by majority decision, Komawut FA Group kept the judges out of their hotly anticipated rematch in the ONE Friday Fights 96 main event on Feb. 7.
The FA Group athlete went all-out in search of his first knockout in the promotion. He swapped every trick in the "Art of Eight Limbs" textbook with his nemesis when the bell sounded but pulled away on the scorecards behind his effective counter overhand rights and piston-like lead lefts.
In round two, he threw with just as much fire. However, the ONE Friday Fights star upped his speed and volume, too. That switch in tactics soon opened a route to Panrit's chin, and he made the most of that opportunity.
Komawut swung in with a right over the top just as Panrit missed with a left hook to score the first knockdown of their in 15 seconds of the second canto.
