Superlek breaks down Kongthoranee’s arsenal ahead of ONE Friday Fights 68 clash

Superlek Kiatmoo9 will have his work cut out for him when he returns to the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand this Friday, June 28.

Before Stepping back inside the Circle ahead of his massive world title tilt with Jonathan Haggerty at ONE 168: Denver, 'The Kicking Machine' will square off with streaking Thai star Kongthoranee Sor Sommai in the ONE Friday Fights 68 co-main event.

While Superlek certainly needs no introduction, many fans may not be familiar with Kongthoranee's work even though he will be making his 10th walk to the Circle to meet Superlek.

Debuting in February 2023, Kongthoranee has amassed himself a stellar 8-1 record and is sitting on a seven-fight win streak with three highlight-reel KOs.

Assessing his opponents' skills during an interview with ONE Championship, the ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion was very aware of the impressive power and technical prowess that the 27-year-old up-and-comer possesses.

"He has knockout power, but also very technical, 'The Kicking Machine' said. "He’s slow, though. I do think he’s great. He’s confident, on top of his game."
