ONE Friday Fights 58 preview and predictions: Jonathan Di Bella vs. Prajanchai

The co-main event of ONE Friday Fights 58 will feature a highly anticipated strawweight superfight between divisional champions Jonathan Di Bella and Prajanchai PK Saenchai at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium this week, with ONE gold on the line.

The impressive fighters are in excellent condition as they prepare for their five-round match, which will take place in just a few days. With a captivating mix of Muay Thai and kickboxing techniques, viewers should be ready for an action-packed showdown on the international platform in Bangkok, Thailand, this Friday, April 5.

Jonathan Di Bella, the current ONE strawweight kickboxing world champion, has impressed audiences with his strategic abilities, exceptional precision, and speed. However, Prajanchai, the Muay Thai kingpin, may possess the necessary skills to defeat Di Bella and claim the title of a two-sport world champion.

Despite being well aware of the difficulty, both superstars are determined to take on the challenging task. Di Bella is keeping his strategy under wraps, while Prajanchai sees himself as an underdog due to the change in disciplines.

Mike Murillo vs. Jonathan Di Bella: Predicted Outcome

This upcoming bout is expected to be a high-intensity battle that will likely last until the end, resulting in Jonathan Di Bella successfully defending his world championship through a decision victory.

I choose the current world champion because he possesses both the size advantage and the speed and footwork necessary to challenge a fighter of Prajanchai’s caliber.

Furthermore, Jonathan Di Bella has consistently displayed his resilience in his initial two battles in ONE Championship, both of which were title fights that went the full distance.

Additionally, this extended endurance would greatly benefit him in his bout against Prajanchai. I anticipate that Prajanchai will put up a fierce fight against Di Bella in his pursuit of becoming a two-sport ONE world champion.

A thrilling battle between two highly skilled strikers is about to take place. Let’s savor the moment.

Ted Razon vs Jonathan Di Bella: Predicted Fight Result

Indeed, the combination of Jonathan Di Bella’s technical prowess and Prajanchai’s primal aggression is a perfect match for striking enthusiasts worldwide.

We have already witnessed the immense danger posed by Prajanchai in four-ounce gloves, as he requires only a brief opening to unleash devastating damage. Nevertheless, this title fight will be conducted under kickboxing rules, which I am convinced will make all the difference.

Despite this, I anticipate that Prajanchai will follow in Danial Williams’ footsteps and attack the champion’s legs. However, Jonathan Di Bella most likely learned from that error and will be careful to defend against those kicks in their upcoming match.

Additionally, the longer the match goes on, the more advantageous it is for Jonathan Di Bella as he will eventually be able to adjust to the challenger’s playing style.

Ultimately, Di Bella’s intelligence and cunning abilities will prove to be too much for anyone in the division. The Montreal native is expected to secure victory in this match through his impressive volume and superior striking, particularly when his opponent meets him in the ring for five rounds.

Predicted Outcome: Vince Richards Wins by Decision

In this battle of two fierce beasts, it’s a showdown between equal speeds.

On Friday, Jonathan Di Bella will face his toughest opponent yet as he defends his ONE strawweight kickboxing world title against Prajanchai. Prajanchai, known as one of the greatest strikers of our time, is sure to come out swinging as soon as the fight begins against the rising star of Team Di Bella Kickboxing.

Despite his naivety, Di Bella is not to be underestimated. He will cleverly use his defensive skills to lure Prajanchai into the realm of kickboxing.

During their matchup, I observe the defending champion utilizing a counter strategy, causing Prajanchai to recklessly strike at empty space. However, Prajanchai possesses immense knockout power and it is crucial for Di Bella to avoid being directly in front of the strawweight Muay Thai king’s crosshairs.

If Prajanchai manages to execute his counters with almost flawless accuracy, he will undoubtedly shock the Bangkok audience.

Predicted Winner: Jonathan Di Bella by Decision

Despite facing one of the toughest challenges of his career, I have no doubt that Jonathan Di Bella will once again emerge victorious with flying colors.

The unbeaten Canadian-Italian striker may not possess the flashy, attention-grabbing style that Prajanchai does. Nevertheless, he remains true to his fundamentals and has a knack for using clever handwork to earn significant points on the scorecards against his opponents.

As soon as the bell rings inside the esteemed venue, it will become apparent that the intense battle is about to begin. The local fighter from Bangkok, who will be accompanied by his devoted supporters, is expected to take an aggressive approach from the start of the match. However, he may face some early challenges from Jonathan Di Bella, who may land a few hooks or straights.

Despite having tempo on his side, the Montreal native remains calm and composed as the second and third rounds progress. While he is capable of exchanging strikes with the two-sport chasing superstar, he appears to be more reserved, focusing on chaining attacks instead. Prajanchai’s hands will be ready and waiting to end the fight quickly.

The defending king will continue to increase his efforts in the championship rounds, potentially securing a late knockdown like he did against Zhang Peimian, in order to sway the judges scoring at ringside.
