ONE Friday Fights 142 Main Event Result: Panpadej Edges Past Apiwat, Moves To 5-0 In ONE
The flyweight Muay Thai main event of ONE Friday Fights 142 delivered a tightly contested battle as Panpadej NF Looksuan outlasted Apiwat Sor Somnuk at Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium, live in Asia primetime, on Friday, February 13.
The action-packed clash set the tone for a thrilling doubleheader weekend, just hours before ONE Fight Night 40: Buntan vs. Hemetsberger II on Prime Video unfolds inside the mecca of Muay Thai.
Apiwat struck first, using a sharp straight left to control distance and steal the opening round whenever Panpadej attempted to close in. The clean counters forced the Thai technician to absorb damage early, but the pressure began to pay dividends.
In the second round, the 24-year-old marched forward with more urgency and found success in the clinch. His stabbing knees to the midsection appeared to do visible damage and gradually slowed Apiwat’s movement.
The final frame saw Panpadej increase his aggression, even attempting a flying knee before Apiwat disrupted it with a crisp one-two combination. From there, the NF Looksuan athlete adjusted, becoming more elusive while landing cleaner, sharper punches down the stretch.
When the scorecards were read, Panpadej secured a majority decision victory, extending his ONE Friday Fights record to a perfect 5-0 and improving to 58-5 overall.
