"Knew that arm was in trouble" - Fans feel the raw power behind Tawanchai's bone-shattering stoppage of Davit Kiria
ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai produced one of his best outings under the ONE Championship banner in August 2023 against Davit Kiria.
Early into the third round, Tawanchai showcased his power when he fractured Kiria's forearm as the Georgian star tried to block a body kick, which led to a TKO win for the Thai great.

Fans shared their reactions in the comments section which can be read below:
"Yeah I knew that arm was in trouble 😂 amazing fight"
"That's when you think you're blocking with a wall, but he was chiseling away at the wall until it crumbled. His kicks are scary! Last time kicks looked that scary were prime Yodsanklai and prime Samkor."
"The opponent wouldn't have stopped moving in if not for the break the guy is a warrior. 🙏🏾👊🏾"
"If you are Tawanchai's opponent, you have only one opportunity to deal with him, which is when he wipes his sweat 😁"
"These two warriors never fail to disappoint. Amazing level of competition and combat..... bring it on!!!🥊⭐"
Tawanchai is set to defend his crown at ONE 169: Atlanta on November 8 against 'Smokin'' Jo Nattawut inside the State Farm Arena.
Tawanchai out for third straight win against Jo Nattawut
Tawanchai has defeated Jo Nattawut twice thus far in ONE Championship, winning their first encounter under featherweight kickboxing rules in October 2023 via unanimous decision.
Their rematch this past June was the closest fight yet as Tawanchai survived a late Nattawut onslaught to come away with the razor-thin majority decision victory in defense of his featherweight Muay Thai throne.
Tawanchai will defend his ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title for a second time against Nattawut at ONE 169: Atlanta on November 8 at State Farm Arena.
With his 26 pounds of ONE gold once again on the line in their trilogy fight, Tawanchai will need to be at his absolute best if he wants to finally close the book on his rivalry with Nattawut.
