"This should be a trilogy" - Fans continue the debate on the Tawanchai's nail-biting world title win over Jo Nattawut at ONE 167
Almost two weeks after their world title showdown at ONE 167, Tawanchai PK Saenchai and Jo Nattawut have divided the opinion of combat sports fans on who should have won on June 7 inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
ONE Championship has recently posted the full fight for the ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title between Tawanchai and Nattawut and wrote the description:
"ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Champion Tawanchai and Thai superstar Jo Nattawut pulled out all the stops in their highly-anticipated rematch for the divisional crown at ONE 167! Who wants to see a trilogy matchup?"
It was a close and exciting match, as the two striking maestros produced a back-and-forth battle. Eventually, though, the defending world champion successfully eked out a majority decision win over the challenger.
But this triumph didn't mean that Tawanchai could escape from fans and their criticism, as users @aldwinalmario2109, @user-nk1gl6ck7x, @meanri, @NicolasRodriguez-kb3bv, and @Spycat26 led the debate on the comment section of the video. They wrote:
