ONE Friday Fights 76 results: Puengluang lands decision victory over Samingdam in entertaining headliner
Puengluang Baanramba climbed back into the win column at ONE Friday Fights 79 inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium following a three-round war with Samingdam in the evening’s main event.
Round 1: Both fighters start with some low kicks, and Puengluang fires a stiff body kick. He attempts to throw another but temporarily loses his balance. Puengluang goes back to the body, but that invites Samingdam to unleash a combination of strikes, backing his opponent against the ropes. They continue to trade kicks, Puengluang continuing to go for the body while Samingdam throws thunderous leg kicks to the lead leg.
Puengluang offers a one-two combination on the step-in but fails to connect clean. Puengluang is looking to counter with the hook each time Samingdam throws the low kick, but he’s been unable to close the distance between them.
Round 2: Puengluang goes right back to the body kicks, and Samingdam nearly catches him with a counter right. Things are beginning to pick up with Samingdam ripping to the body with a furious combination punctuated by another nasty low kick. Samingdam once again looks to counter as Puengluang closes in and then catches him with the leg attack on the retreat.
The leg kicks appear to be taking a toll on Puengluang, who is moving gingerly and focusing more on the low attack, allowing Samingdam to attack up top. Still, Puengluang remains aggressive and attempts to land a slick elbow that Samingdam sidesteps. The round ends with both fighters trading body kicks in the center of the ring.
Round 3:Puengluang goes back to the body and Samingdam makes him pay with another leg kick. Samingdam loses his balance briefly as Puengluang uncorks another kick. Samingdam rushes in and looks to land a combination before tying up against the ropes. Both fighters connect in a fiery exchange, but as Puengluang sits down on his punch, Samingdam targets his leg yet again.
Puengluang gets caught with a counter left. Samingdam tries to respond with a spinning back fist, but it’s well-defended. Samingdam’s aggressive approach has slowed since the second round, allowing Puengluang to score despite standing his badly damaged lead leg.
