“They have an equal chance” - Rodtang says both Tawanchai and Superbon are capable of finishing each other with a single blow

It's anyone's fight when Tawanchai puts his ONE featherweight Muay Thai world championship on the line against undisputed kickboxing king Superbon.

More than a year removed from their instant classic at ONE Friday Fights 46, two of Thailand's most precise strikers will square off for the second time as ONE Championship heads back to Impact Arena in Bangkok for an absolutely loaded ONE 170 card on Friday, January 24.

Tawanchai will look to extend his unbeaten streak to eight and score a second career win over Superbon, the promotion's featherweight kickboxing world titleholder.

Offering his take on the highly anticipated headline, Thai superstar Rodtang Jitmuangnon believes that Tawanchai vs. Superbon 2 will all come down to whoever makes the first mistake.

"For these two, I think it’s the second round when we can see who’d miss something or let their guard down first," Rodtang told ONE. "They have an equal chance on that. Just one shot."

Tawanchai expects his second fight with Superbon to be 'just as fun' as the first

The first time around, Tawanchai escaped with his ONE featherweight Muay Thai crown, scoring a majority decision victory over Superbon in December 2023.

This time around, the defending champ expects their second encounter to be just as exciting as the first now that both the fighters are familiar with one another's style.

"I really feel excited for this fight," Tawanchai told Sportskeeda. "The second fight against Superbon should be just as fun as the first one because Superbon should be more familiar with Muay Thai. And I'm ready."

Will Tawanchai go two-up on on Superbon, or will the ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion even the series and add a second 26 pound of gold to his growing collection?
