ONE Friday Fights 16 recap: Kongthoranee dissects ET in decision win

ONE Championship’s weekly shows at the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium continued to deliver fireworks in Thailand’s capital city of Bangkok.

In the main event of ONE Friday Fights 16, Kongthoranee Sor Sommai put on a clinical display to take the majority decision win over ET Tded99 in their catchweight (132 pounds) Muay Thai bout.

The win was Kongthoranee’s second win in the ONE Friday Fights series and put his overall professional record at 62-15-1.

A methodical counter striker, Kongthoranee kept his distance with stinging left roundhouse kicks that either found their mark or battered ET’s guard throughout the first round.

ET tried to mount an offensive response in the second but all he got was more of Kongthoranee’s lightning kicks.

Kongthoranee continued his technical pace in the third to eventually take the decision win.

After the fight, the 26-year-old told Mitch Chilson in the post-fight interview:

“I know that he has a very good flying knee, so I wasn’t too sure on the first round. So I just tried my best on the second round and the third round.”
