Khundet PK Saenchai just notched his 65th professional win, but let’s be real, he earned every single bit of it in a wild majority decision victory over Kiwthong TKD Muaythai. This bantamweight co-main event at ONE Friday Fights 174 in Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium was an absolute war from the opening bell, with both guys leaving it all in the ring on Friday, October 9.
All Gas, No Brakes, Then A Nasty Elbow
From the jump, these two were pedal to the metal, pure Muay Thai fireworks. Kiwthong came out firing, piercing Khundet with right hands right down the middle, looking sharp. Khundet was trying to get his own offense going, but Kiwthong shut him down with some nasty push kicks that sent him flying across the ring. The real game-changer in that first round? Both fighters crashed into a fiery exchange, and Khundet landed an elbow that absolutely *pierced* Kiwthong’s eye. You felt that one through the screen.
Absorbing Shots and Landing Bombs
Round two kicked off with the same insane energy. Kiwthong kept hammering punches from his back foot, trying to keep Khundet away. But Khundet? Man, he just marched forward, chin tucked, absorbing every single shot Kiwthong threw. This guy’s chin is made of concrete! Once Khundet finally closed that distance, he unleashed a right hand that dropped Kiwthong hard. We all thought it was over, but that 21-year-old is tough as nails, made the count, and survived the round. Then in the third, Khundet came out like a man possessed, looking for the finish. But Kiwthong, durable as ever, just kept ripping punches back, going to the body and head, actually making the Thai wilt a bit. Neither man was gonna fold though; they traded shots at full intensity right up until the final buzzer.
In the end, two of the three judges sided with Khundet, giving him that hard-fought majority decision. What a battle! Khundet adds his 65th win to his record, a huge milestone after a performance like that. After a war where he ate shots and delivered a knockdown, we’ve gotta wonder what’s next for him.
