What to expect from Liam Harrison vs. John Lineker
John Lineker is a dangerous striker with vicious knockout power, especially when he throws vicious hooks. With that said, he must be prepared for a tough test, as Liam Harrison has made a living off winning high-profile Muay Thai fights.
Harrison will also have to overcome adversity, as he’s coming off an extended layoff. Yet, ‘Hitman’ has plans to make a run for the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title, so he’s surely ready for war. Therefore, it’ll be intriguing to see which action-packed striker will emerge victorious in January 2024.
ONE Fight Night 18 goes down at the historic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium and can be seen live and for free by North American viewers with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
