The main event of ONE Fight Night 8 saw 24-year-old Thai fireball Petsukumvit Boi Bangna fashion out a rousing knockout victory in the second round over countryman Petchmuangsri Tded99.
Petsukumvit was on top of things right from the get-go all the way to the 2:36 mark of round number two, where he landed a solid left hook to the chin of Petchmuangsri and sent the latter crashing to the mat. The referee then stepped in to stop the contest.
For his impressive showing, Petsukumvit received a 350,000 baht performance bonus from ONE Chairman Chatri Sityodtong. With the win, the An Sukhumvit Gym fighter improved to 62-26.

With 24 seconds left in the first canto, Numsurin lunged with a straight left to the head of his opponent, instantly putting the lights out on Khunsuknoi and sending the fight to an end.
