‘The Immortal’ underlines his dominance at ONE Fight Night 34 in Bangkok, while Rungrawee edges Youssef Assouik in co-main event
Regian Eersel added another emphatic chapter to his reign as ONE’s lightweight Muay Thai king, dispatching George Jarvis with a first-round knockout in the main event of ONE Fight Night 34 on Friday.
The Suriname-born Dutchman needed just 84 seconds to finish off the British challenger at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium, retaining his title and taking home a US$50,000 performance bonus.
Eersel had spoken beforehand about a strategy to drag Jarvis into deep waters and score a late finish, but once the opening bell rang, he wasted no time asserting his authority.
The 32-year-old, nicknamed “The Immortal”, pushed Jarvis onto the back foot from the outset, landing clean combinations before a sharp right hand dropped the former WBC Muay Thai world champion.
