WATCH: A quick breakdown of Superlek's genius striking against Takeru Segawa during their Tokyo super fight
Superlek Kiatmoo9's second successful defense of the ONE flyweight kickboxing world title happened this past January at ONE 165. It came against the formidable challenge of Takeru Segawa in front of his home fans at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.
ONE Championship recently posted one of Superlek's best moments during the fight, where they quickly highlighted the combination he employed to deal significant damage against Takeru:
"Master of his craft 🥊 Can Superlek dethrone bantamweight Muay Thai king Jonathan Haggerty on September 6 at ONE 168: Denver? 👀 @superlek789"
During the sequence, 'The Kicking Machine' used a stiff jab to open up the high guard and tight defense of 'The Natural Born Crusher'.
Then, he followed it up with a combination of straight right-hand punch, left jab, and right low kick that stunned the former K1 champion.
Superlek showed solid offense at this juncture of the match. He also anticipated a rapid counter from Takeru and quickly pulled out a teep to knock him out of balance and prevent him from landing a punch.
Superlek vows to give his all against Jonathan Haggerty at ONE 168: Denver
Ahead of his world title match against reigning two-sport bantamweight world champion Jonathan Haggerty, the Thai fighter has promised to give his best against him and go all out to get the victory.
The Kiatmoo9 Gym athlete talked to ONE Championship in a recent interview and spoke about how he will leave it all inside the circle for a chance to be part of the exclusive club of fighters who became two-division world champions, as he said:
"It's high risk. I may lose my record of never being knocked out in my entire career, but I'm going for it. I'm giving my all for this fight."
ONE 168: Denver will take place at the Ball Arena on Sept. 6 during U.S. primetime. Tickets for the event are available on Ticketmaster.
