"Truly one of the best" - Fans can't fathom the technique Superbon unleashed in his perfect head kick KO of Tayfun Ozcan
In June 2023, at ONE Fight Night 11, now-reigning ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon produced one of the best knockouts in ONE Championship history by beating Tayfun Ozcan inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The full fight replay of this spectacular performance by Superbon was recently posted by ONE Championship on YouTube with the description:
"Ahead of ONE Interim Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon's return to Muay Thai action against Thai striking sensation Jo Nattawut at ONE Friday Fights 81, relive his kickboxing scrap with Dutch-Turkish warrior Tayfun Ozcan at ONE Fight Night 11 in 2023!"
See the video below:
The former ONE featherweight kickboxing king ended the match at the 1:46 mark of the second frame with a picture-perfect head kick against 'Turbine' that instantly floored him and sent him to the shadow realm.
It was Superbon's fourth victory in the promotion since his debut in July 2020. This incredible highlight-reel knockout not only dropped the jaw of Ozcan but also the fans, who couldn't get enough of it.
Users @edmundpeternavarro1627, @kenmasters6438, @daidai6391, and @LucieOne rained down positive messages for the Thai megastar, as they commented:
"Superbon, is truly one of the best. fighter. Wow, what strong head kick. 👍"
"a counter head kick just flowing after a 4 piece combo. that was amazing. that head kick came out of momentum of the final right hook. Ozcan is looking at Superbon tilting sideways from that punch not realizing that a kick is flying into his jaw with laser accuracy, lights out. beautiful. the replay at 5:28 tells it all."
"that kick is very unpredictable"
"He threw that combination and stood there for a second... you can't stand there. Not against that guy."
