"One punch man" - Fans loving Saemapetch's ingenious trap to land a ferocious one-shot killer
Former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger Saemapetch Fairtex has one of the most deadly hands in all of ONE Championship, and a recent post by the promotion proved this.
On Instagram, the promotion reposted a clip of him knocking out fellow Thai Rittewada Petchyindee in August 2022 at ONE 160. The video was captioned with:
"DEADLY combo 🥊 Can Saemapetch secure another W this Friday at ONE Fight Night 23 on @primevideo? @saemapetch_fairtex"
It was the fourth-ranked divisional contender's revenge win over Rittewada, and he landed a picture-perfect left overhand that slept the Petchyindee Academy fighter in the second round of their match to record his sixth victory under the world's largest martial arts organization.
This fantastic finish that highlighted Saemapetch's power and technique has left the fans in awe, as users @sailingbyefelicia, @073_breno_kk, @adore_y0u__, @badr_beddi, and @joe_easy5 commented on post with:
"Poetry in motion."
"This guy's overhand was perfect 🔥"
"One punch man 👊🥶"
"Perfectly perfect"
"Just great timing. He went in as his opponent tried to strike, sang beat him to it 🔥🔥"
Saemapetch looking to halt the hype train of Nico Carrillo at ONE Fight Night 23
Saemapetch is coming off another successful revenge victory in February 2024 at ONE Fight Night 19, where he folded Mohamed Younes Rabah in their rematch inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and returned to the winner's column.
Now, the Fairtex Training Center representative is pitted against the number one-ranked divisional contender, Nico Carrillo, on July 5 at ONE Fight Night 23. Saemapetch wants to defy the odds and prove that he is not a pushover opponent for 'The King of the North.'
Furthermore, a win for the 29-year-old Thai wants to inch closer to another shot for the coveted 26-pound golden belt.
ONE Fight Night 23 will be available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America on July 5 during U.S. primetime.
