Rodtang rates Joseph Lasiri’s fighting skills

ONE flyweight Muay Thai king Rodtang Jitmuangnon was far from impressed by his most recent title challenger, Joseph Lasiri. The Italian-born striker was very confident heading into the match but was dismantled by the long-time champ.

'The Iron Man' proved a lot of people right by out-striking his opponent en route to a clear-cut unanimous decision victory at ONE on Prime Video 4.

Afterward, the flyweight Muay Thai champ discussed his opponents' skills in the post-fight interview. Rodtang said:

"Oh, well, his running skill, I give him 10. For his talking skills, I give him 10 as well, but for his fighting skills, maybe minus at some points."

Once the circle's door closed and the trash-talk was over with, the champ showed the world exactly why he's one of the very best fighters in ONE. Despite not recording a finish, the Thai striker proved his worth over the course of five rounds.

Rodtang wants to be a three-sport world champion

Still just 25 years old, 'The Iron Man' is making his mark in the history books, having already made four ONE flyweight Muay Thai title defenses. However, he isn't content with resting on his laurels.

The champ revealed his big plans in his recent post-fight interview:

“What I'm aiming for right now is that I'm going to get the world title for kickboxing as a second sport world champion. So after that, I'm going to go all the way in MMA and then challenge whoever the champion is at that time. It's coming soon as a future fight for sure.”

Aside from a loss to Demetrious 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson in a special rules bout, Rodtang has gone without losing within the promotion, and his dominant win over Lasiri is one of his most impressive victories to date.

Stalking the challenger around the circle, Rodtang led the dance for the fight's duration, even scoring a pair of knockdowns which proved to be the difference.
