Myanmar’s Lethwei icon Soe Lin Oo crushed Muay Thai star Pongsiri during the second round of the ONE Friday Fights 69 event held in Bangkok, Thailand, yesterday.
In the first round, Soe Lin Oo used his powerful punches near the end of the first round as he was guessing the match situation. Pongsiri could not match Soe Lin Oo’s majesty, so he only attacked with kicks and knee strikes.
Soe Lin Oo launched an open attack at the start of the second round, and Soe Lin Oo’s punches hurt Pongsiri. At 29 seconds into the second round, a single punch from Soe Lin Oo knocked Pongsiri down, and he couldn’t get up.
As Soe Lin Oo won by knockout, ONE Championship CEO Chatri Trisiripisal presented an additional bonus of 350,000 baht to the Myanmar fighter.
