Liam Harrison Predicts Prajanchai vs. Lasiri and Meksen vs. Phetjeeja Ahead of ONE Friday Fights 46

ONE bantamweight Muay Thai contender Liam Harrison is always excited to see fellow hard-hitters throwing down.

The British striker will be one of the millions of fans around the world who will be tuned in to ONE Friday Fights 46: Tawanchai vs. Superbon this Friday, December 22, to watch the three World Title headliners, as well as a string of other exciting bouts go down.

Liam Harrison picks his favorite for the much-awaited fight

The highly anticipated match between Tawanchai PK Saenchai and Superbon Singha Mawynn for the featherweight Muay Thai crown will be the main event inside Bangkok, Thailand’s Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, but Harrison will have his eyes on the two preceding bouts in particular. 

The ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship will be unified when reigning titleholder Joseph Lasiri takes on interim king Prajanchai PK Saenchai in the co-main event of the stacked card.

It will be a rematch 18 months in the making, and Harrison sees it going in the opposite direction to their World Title showdown in May 2022. 

Lasiri has been sidelined with an injury since last November, whereas Prajanchai has been in frequent action over the last 12 months, and “Hitman” believes this will make the difference.

“Lasiri has been out for a long time. Prajanchai’s been active, and he’s going to want to put a serious display on here. He said he was ill last time, and it looked like he’d sort of quit a bit,” said “Hitman” in an interview with ONE.   

“But he’s been active and winning at the highest level. He’s been looking very good, very dangerous, very strong, so I’ll go with him this time.” 

Will Anissa Meksen beat Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom on Friday?

Meanwhile, the battle for the ONE Interim Women’s Atomweight Kickboxing World Championship will see two of the top female strikers on the planet today squaring off, as multiple-time Muay Thai and kickboxing World Champion Anissa Meksen will meet rising star “The Queen” Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom.

Phetjeeja has been on a dominant streak in ONE, winning four straight Muay Thai matches since her arrival in the world’s largest martial arts organization earlier this year. She will be competing for the biggest prize of her career against arguably the most dangerous fighter she has ever faced in over 200 bouts. 

Meksen has competed worldwide, winning World Titles in practically every organization she has fought in. She now has the opportunity to add the prestigious belt to her collection, and Harrison thinks the rule set will play a deciding factor in who the winner will be.

“Under kickboxing rules, I’m favoring Meksen. She’ll know how to flow and put the combinations together better, and how to score better. Has Phetjeeja ever had a kickboxing fight in her life? Maybe she’ll struggle a bit under the kickboxing format, although she’s an absolute beast,” said “Hitman.”   

“The rhythm, the scoring, it’s all a bit different. So, under kickboxing rules, I’m picking Meksen. Under Muay Thai rules, I’d go with Phetjeeja.” 

ONE Fight Night 46 will be broadcast live on pay-per-view from the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, exclusively at watch.onefc.com on Friday, December 22.
