ONE Friday Fights 175 Main Event Result: Rhenimi Stops Lamsing With Thunderous Third-Round Knockout
Moroccan gunslinger Abdessamie Rhenimi delivered the finest performance of his young career, emphatically snapping Lamsing T1 Fight Academy’s three-fight winning streak with a thunderous third-round knockout in the flyweight Muay Thai main event of ONE Friday Fights 175 on Friday, October 16, broadcasting live in Asia primetime from Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium.
The thrilling main event finish perfectly set the tone for ONE SAMURAI 4, taking place in less than 24 hours at the historic Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.
Itching to snap a frustrating two-fight slump, the Petchsaman Gym product came out firing with crisp jab-cross combinations, immediately wobbling Lamsing by grazing his temple with a precise left hook.
Rhenimi kept the heavy pressure on with uppercuts and stabbing knees, but the Thai veteran displayed an iron chin and somehow stayed upright through the punishing early assault. Lamsing smartly grabbed a strong double-collar tie to regain his bearings, effectively tagging the Moroccan with a stinging counter hook just as the bell sounded.
Sensing Rhenimi slowing down slightly after the frenetic first-round flurry, Lamsing confidently took the center of the ring in the second canto, establishing his offense with laser-like jabs and sharp footwork. Rhenimi brilliantly caught an incoming kick and went right back to his boxing, cracking the Thai with punishing hooks before seamlessly adding digging body shots that slowly drained Lamsing’s gas tank heading into the final round.
The all-action war turned highly technical in the third, with both men aggressively trading measured attacks as deep fatigue began to set in. However, Rhenimi proved he wanted it just a bit more, shifting gears with a sharp one-two combination before sliding safely out of range to completely avoid the retaliation.
The 20-year-old finally found a way through the stubborn Thai’s guard. He unleashed a devastating hook combination capped by a wild, looping uppercut that landed flush on the button, sending Lamsing crashing violently to the canvas at the 1:49 mark of round three.
The spectacular highlight-reel knockout successfully returned the Moroccan to the win column and marked the ninth victory of his professional career.
