Jonathan Haggerty has proven yet again why he is the best striker in the world today.

This past weekend, “The General” decimated Felipe “Demolition Man” Lobo to keep the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title in his possession at the main event of ONE Fight Night 19: Haggerty vs Lobo on Prime Video inside the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.

The Englishman certainly got more than he expected, as “Demolition Man” came with an intense fire, dropping Haggerty in the first round of their tie inside the revered venue in Bangkok, Thailand.

After shaking the cobwebs off, the two-sport World Champion proceeded to score a knockdown of his own in the second round. He looked to capitalize on his advantage, but Lobo showed his grit by finishing the round strong.

Then, in the third stanza, the Knowlesy Academy standout needed just 45 seconds to unleash the fight-ending punch that put his Brazilian foe on his back and had the referee calling for the bell.

In the co-main event, Saemapetch Fairtex exacted revenge against Mohamed Younes Rabah with a TKO win of his own. The Thai star delighted fans with a dominant performance, scoring three successive first-round knockdowns on Rabah and showing that he hasn’t lost a step despite losing their initial meeting.

Both Saemapetch and Haggerty won US$50,000 bonuses for their performances, with Thongpoon PK Saenchai and promotional debutant Martyna Keirczynska also getting bonuses for their highlight-reel wins.

Meanwhile, Filipino star Lito Adiwang prevailed in a pivotal battle of strawweight MMA contenders looking to move into the divisional rankings.

The thrilling three-round battle saw “Thunder Kid” outclass “Mini T” to secure his third straight victory and potentially a spot in the top five.
