The ONE Friday Fights 1 had an awesome start with a lot of other enthralling bouts. But the show-stopping main event of the night featuring Nong-O Gaiyanghadao vs Alaverdi Ramazanov had to be changed. The catchweight Muay Thai bout between the Australian, Tyson Harrison, and the homeboy Seksan Or. Kwanmuang was featured instead.

Previously, Harrison had stated that he would like to defeat Seksan in their matchup to fulfill his late coach’s dream. It was also the local boy Seksan’s birthday on the night. The Australian stepped into the ring with a clear reach advantage over his opponent, Seksan.

The first two rounds were pretty evenly matched up

Both the Australian and the Thai fighters took the ring with a blast of energy. The fighters traded one blow for each one they received and the fight stayed pretty evenly poised. Seksan showcased his stupendous kicking prowess. His game involved throwing a lot more kicks than his opponent Harrison. The right side of Harrison’s torso showcased the effects of Seksan’s furious kicks.

The Australian used his reach and delivered a few good elbows to his opponent’s face in the first two rounds. Despite getting his nose leaking from one of Seksan’s shots, Harrison matched up almost every shot of Seksan with one of his own.
