"Pure cinema" - Fans continue the heated debate on Tawanchai and Jo Nattawut's heated world title clash at ONE 167

The world title match between Tawanchai PK Saenchai and Jo Nattawut on June 7 at ONE 167 was supposed to be more decisive than their first meeting in October 2023 at ONE Fight Night 15.

But the two Thai superstars produced another classic fight that saw them go head-to-head in front of the sold-out Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

Highlights of this incredible back-and-forth action were recently posted by ONE Championship, and they captioned the video with:

"Highlights from the razor-close ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Championship match between Tawanchai and Jo Nattawut! They run it back at ONE 169: Atlanta 👊 Who you got? @tawanchay_pk @jonattawut"

Eventually, Tawanchai retained the ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title with a majority decision result, but fans were convinced that either fighter had a chance to win with how close and tight their battle was. Users @marcelo_mkt, @bayuanasara, @tyantrianto, @yo.jaelee, @limktg_7132, @cl.4994, and @_frenchfried were jawing in the comment section of the video, as they commented:

"One of the most beautiful fights to watch! Pure cinema! 🔥"

"Damn! Both of em are just so good🔥"

"Jo looks so good🔥, but Tawanchai almost all of his shots went in and he got points 🏆"

"That was a close fight over 5 rounds, but the BIG DAMAGE on Tawanchai by Smokin Jo should be the deciding factor! All eyes on the judges for their rematch at Atlanta 🧐🔥🔥"

"Nattawut won that one."

"Tawanchai is a problem!! What an incredible precision striker, laser focused with crazy stamina. Unbelievable at 25 yrs old."
