Superbon says ONE world champions Rodtang, Phetjeeja, Prajanchai have the best fight IQ in striking
For former ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon Singha Mawynn, Thailand is home to top minds in the striking arts, citing current ONE champions Rodtang Jitmuangnon, Prajanchai PK Saenchai, and Phetjeeja as among them.
The 33-year-old Singha Mawynn Muay Thai standout shared this in a recent interview with ONE Championship, when asked to give his take on who has the best fight IQ in the promotion.
Superbon said:
"I'd probably go with Rodtang. He has a lot of fight IQ and he's tough. Prajanchai and Phetjeeja, too, they've got a really good fight IQ, too. Three of them are all good."
Rodtang has long held the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title and is widely considered as one of the top fighters in the promotion.
Meanwhile, Prajanchai and Phetjeeja became the undisputed world champions in the strawweight and atomweight kickboxing divisions, respectively, in their last fights.
Prajanchai knocked out former divisional king Joseph Lasiri in the opening round of their unification fight in December, while Phetjeeja outlasted former atomweight kickboxing queen Janet Todd by unanimous decision in their own unification showdown early this month.
