“Next fight won’t be like that” – Superbon recalls what went wrong in Muay Thai duel with Tawanchai

Despite being the former ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion, Superbon Singha Mawynn can’t help but reflect on his recent all-Thai fight against fellow countryman Tawanchai PK Saenchai.

At ONE Friday Fights 46 last December, the 33-year-old Superbon competed against Tawanchai and narrowly lost by majority decision on the scorecards. The Singha Mawynn representative believes he was unable to showcase his full abilities during the fight and reflects on the challenging lessons he learned.

In a recent interview with the South China Morning Post, Superbon expressed that if he were to have a rematch with Tawanchai, it would be a completely different fight.

The native of Bangkok, Thailand declared:

“I was a little bit slower in protecting the kicks and push kicks, so I learned a lot from my last fight against Tawanchai. But the next fight won’t be like that.”

Superbon must first face a daunting challenge and seize the opportunity to reclaim ONE Championship gold before he can consider tempting Tawanchai into a rematch.

Superbon Singha Mawynn and Marat Grigorian of Armenia, long-standing rivals, will once again meet in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 58: Superbon vs. Grigorian II. The highly-anticipated event will be televised live from Bangkok’s renowned Lumpinee Boxing Stadium on Friday, April 5th.

The ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world champion will be crowned as the winner.

Superbon discusses challenges adapting to Muay Thai rules in fight against Tawanchai

Despite his impressive record, Superbon Singha Mawynn attributes his lackluster performance against Tawanchai to his unfamiliarity with the Muay Thai rule set.

Despite his defeat to the PK Saenchai star, Superbon held onto his title as the featherweight kickboxing champion for a considerable period of time, having had a long history of competing in kickboxing before facing off against his opponent.

He informed SCMP MMA:

“Then in Muay Thai, I have limits. Something that I can say before in Muay Thai, I can box well. I can protect the kicks well. But because I fought kickboxing for so long, and kickboxers don’t really have good kicks.”
