FREE FULL FIGHT: Rodtang, Denis Puric tear the house down in high octane kickboxing barnburner in Bangkok
The heated buildup for the catchweight kickboxing match between Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Denis Puric promised an exciting bout in the co-main event of ONE 167 on June 7, and it certainly delivered.
Rodtang and Puric went back and forth and exchanged powerful strikes during their match in front of the sold-out Impact Arena crowd in Bangkok, Thailand. The full fight of the match was reposted by ONE Championship on their YouTube channel for fans to enjoy.
They wrote the video's description with:
"All the fiery action from the kickboxing showdown between ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang and Bosnian-Canadian brawler Denis Puric at ONE 167, proudly brought to you by Fairtex!"
Since the opening bell, both athletes have marched forward to the center of the Circle where they have gauged each other. After a quick feel-out phase, they started to bring out their heavy artilleries and bombard each other with solid strikes.
'The Iron Man' and 'The Bosnian Menace' both threw kicks and punches with bad intentions and had their respective moments during the match, but it was the former's more damaging hits that prevailed him on the judges' scorecards, which eventually awarded the unanimous decision victory.
Rodtang Jitmuangnon calls out Japanese superstar Takeru Segawa for a mega showdown
After picking up win number 15, Rodtang wasted no time calling for his next opponent, as he used his post-fight interview to challenge Japanese superstar Takeru Segawa in a mega clash.
The two were supposed to headline the ONE 165 card last January, but the Thai superstar suffered an injury a little over a month before the fight, which pushed back their highly anticipated match.
Now that both athletes are in prime shape, barring any injuries, the world's largest martial arts organization could book them a fight soon.
