ONE Friday Fights 66 results and recap: Akram Hamidi's savage hands finishes Kongchai in under two minutes
Akram Hamidi returned to winning ways in the best way he knows how at ONE Friday Fights 66 on June 7.
The Algerian striker, who suffered a unanimous decision loss to Prajanchai PK Saenchai in his sophomore outing, looked calm and collected as he marched towards the ring inside the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
And from the very first second of his clash against Kongchai Chanaidonmueang, that confidence showed.
The Team Valente representative went to work early, switching targets and stances that constantly left Kongchai in two minds.
Though aggression was on his side, the 21-year-old Thai responded well with venom in his attacks. However, none of what the Thai threw drew any worry from 'La Pépite.'
In turn, Hamidi's fluidity with his punches and kicks soon took over, and in a matter of seconds, a left-right-left hook combo sat down the Thai fighter on the latest edition of ONE Friday Fights.
Immediately after the restart, Hamidi rammed his foot through his aggression pedal, going with huge straights, hooks, and uppercuts down the pipe.
With Kongchai looking like a static target, the referee called a stop to the tie at 1:41 of the opening frame. The victory was Hamidi's second highlight-reel win in ONE Friday Fights.
