"Technical precision" - Marvel at how Superlek set up world-ending counter elbow to dethrone Jonathan Haggerty
Muay Thai fans continue to be stumped by Superlek's world-ending KO over former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai king Jonathan Haggerty.
It's just the precision of it all. Superlek proved he's the man to beat after overpowering one of England's most dominant strikers. In case you've missed it, ONE Championship released a slow-motion review of Superlek's world-ending counter-elbow that secured him his second world title.
First, he traps Haggerty's hand, slips the punch, and responds with his trademark counter-elbow to drop the Englishman flat. Haggerty struggles to get back to his feet as he tries to regain control of his legs, but it is too late. The referee intervenes soon after and stops the fight at 49 seconds into the first round.
"Technical PRECISION. Who do you want Superlek to take on NEXT?"
