Jonathan Haggerty delivered yet another jaw-dropping knockout in his latest ONE world title tilt.
Emanating from the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, ONE Fight Night 19 delivered a plethora of sensational scraps, but none were bigger than Jonathan Haggerty’s epic come-from-behind victory over Brazilian contender Felipe Lobo. In the opening round, the ‘Demolition Man’ had fight fans on the edge of their seat as he sat down ‘The General’ with a barrage of unanswered strikes.
However, the tide turned in round two when Haggerty landed a clean left hand at the end of a combination that put Lobo on the canvas. Less than a minute into the third round, Haggerty finished things with a looping right hand that forced referee Olivier Coste to step in and call for the stoppage.
