On the evening of 22 April, an unforgettable Muay Thai tournament was staged in the cage of the Singapore Indoor Stadium. In just 2 minutes and 19 seconds, Liam Harrison, nicknamed "Killer", and Thailand's "Zombie Elbow" Muang Tai PK-Shan Chai had a total of five knockdowns in the fierce matchup, an average of one knockdown in 28 seconds, and the hot match made boxing fans addicted.
Even more amazing was Harrison's astonishing willpower, as he quickly got up to fight after being knocked down by Mantai's high-swept leg, before being knocked down a second time with a heavy punch. Just when everyone thought that everything was over, Harrison suddenly rushed to his opponent and knocked Mantai down with a heavy punch. The two men's confrontation did not stop for a moment, and Harrison gritted his teeth once again to knock Mantai down to read the second. According to the rule that a player declares TKO after three knockdowns in one turn, whoever knocks down the opponent again can become the winner. Harrison didn't hesitate, and the ferocious combination punch took Mangtai a wave away! Let the two chase the three, such an exciting adversity flip let the audience be hooked. Harrison interpreted the veteran's tenacious fighting spirit, winning his 90th career victory and 48th (T) KO.
"What am I talking about? In my game, you will see knockouts, blood, sweat, courage and excitement. I came to this stage to bring you a great game. I was knocked down and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, I stood up, and then I was knocked down again. What would I do in this situation? I will stand up and fight my opponent to the end! Being knocked down made me even more fearless because I had nothing to lose and I had to fight for myself. I'm like a lion, and if you hurt a lion, it's only going to make it more dangerous. I am such a person, I am knocked down, and then stand up and continue to fight, either you die or I die! ”
Despite being 36 years old, the blazing flame in Harrison's heart was enough to infect everyone in the audience. ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatry Siyutang gave double bonuses of $100,000, which shows his appreciation for Harrison's fighting spirit. Instead of the joy of winning the prize, Harrison also received a reward that was even more exciting to him - the opportunity to challenge the young weweight Muay Thai world champion Nong Oh Gaiyanghado. This will be a key step towards his position as a world champion.
Harrison studied Muay Thai at the age of 13 and has been fighting for over 20 years, making a name for himself in both the Thai Ringi and Canaan Long Boxing Stadiums, and winning the WBC Muay Thai World Championship and the 2-time WMC Muay Thai World Championship, but the ONE Welt World Championship is the ultimate goal of his career. "I would love to play with Nong Ao. He has incredible strength, is one of my heroes and one of my favorite boxers. If I touch him, I'll put that respect aside. Because if someone can knock Nong Ao down with a four-ounce punch, I think it must be me! I was destined to be one world champion and I loved the round cage. Maybe my career won't last long, but now I'm still a beast, don't make me wait too long! ”
Young Weweight Muay Thai world champion Nong Ao just finished defending his title for the fifth time in "ONE:X" last month with hook-and-go KO challenger Felipe Lober. As an active champion, Nong Ao quickly replied after hearing Harrison's engagement: "Congratulations, brother. Let's see you in the cage and let's have a good fight! ”
