"True spirit of fighting" - Fans still in awe of Jonathan Haggerty's epic comeback KO against Felipe Lobo in Bangkok

ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion Jonathan Haggerty's stunning defense of the 145-pound Muay Thai crown against Felipe Lobo this past February at ONE Fight Night 19 still has fans talking about it seven months later.

'Demolition Man' shocked the world when he earned the first knockdown late in the opening round. However, 'The General' ended Lobo's bid at winning his first-ever ONE world title with a stunning third-round TKO.

Fans shared their admiration for Haggerty's power in the comments section, with remarks like:

"That ref stoppage probably saved Lobo's career."

"What a bloody fight. True spirit of fighting."

"Haggerty is a beast. I have been watching him for years, a true master of the science of fighting. My money is always on Haggerty!"

"I'm only in round 2, and this is one of the best fights I've ever seen.."

"Said it before, felt almost sorry for Lobo because no matter what he put on Haggerty, it just wasn't enough. And for Haggerty, his name should change from General to Lionheart."

Haggerty will next defend the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship against reigning ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 at ONE 168: Denver on September 6 inside the Ball Arena.

Jonathan Haggerty pumped to finally rematch Superlek

Six years since suffering a TKO defeat via doctor's stoppage in their 2018 encounter outside of ONE, Jonathan Haggerty believes that now is the time to rematch Superlek.

Speaking with the South China Morning Post, Haggerty said:

"Now we're both on the biggest platform in the world, and we're both at our prime. We're at the peak of our careers, so let's go."
