WATCH: Get a ringside view of Tawanchai's brutal knockout finish of Superbon to defend featherweight Muay Thai throne

Tawanchai PK Saenchai's thunderous TKO of Superbon in defense of the ONE featherweight Muay Thai world championship capped off an action-packed night at ONE 170 this past Friday, Jan. 24.

Tawanchai entered their rematch at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, with a chip on his shoulder after receiving undue criticism from fans on social media for how he retained the throne against Superbon at ONE Friday Fights 46 in December 2023.

The 25-year-old Thai sensation took their vitriol to heart and delivered arguably the best showing of his career, knocking down Superbon thrice in round two to enforce the three-knockdown rule and defend the crown via TKO.

The world's largest martial arts promotion posted a ringside view of all three knockdowns on Instagram, which can be viewed below:

Tawanchai's fourth defense of the 155-pound Muay Thai world championship could not have gone better. During the post-fight interview with ONE commentator Mitch Chilson, he gladly dedicated the victory to the fans who continue to support him.

This landmark performance marked his sixth victory by way of a finish under the ONE banner and extended his winning streak to nine.
