This moment of brilliance from Superlek was not going to deter Takeru however, scoring big with a body kick followed up by some heavy combos in round three that appeared to have the defending flyweight kickboxing world titlist in trouble.

However, Superlek was not going to let go of his throne so easily and ultimately won via unanimous decision which had fans lauding their bout as an instant classic.
