ONE Friday Fights 166 delivered a night of hard-earned decisions inside Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, August 14. Panpadej Looksuan solved the puzzle of a taller opponent to outpoint Khunpon Aekmuangnon in the main event, while Denkriangkrai Mavinn Muaythai weathered a late storm to defeat Abdessamie Rhenimi in the co-main event.
Panpadej Solves A Tricky Puzzle In The Main Event
The flyweight Muay Thai main event pitted Panpadej Looksuan against Khunpon Aekmuangnon, and it was Panpadej who found the answers, using quick feints and sharp lateral movement to close the distance on his taller rival throughout three competitive rounds.
Every time Khunpon tried to establish range with his front kicks and long punches, Panpadej stayed a step ahead, mixing in combinations that kept the action at close quarters.
Khunpon refused to fade quietly, however. He fired back with knees and body work whenever the action spilled into the clinch, but Panpadej's consistent output ultimately carried the day.
The judges were unanimous in their scoring, handing Panpadej the victory and improving his career record to 59-7. Moreover, he earned his sixth win inside ONE Championship.
Denkriangkrai Weathers A Storm To Stay On Top
The co-main event told an entirely different kind of story.
Denkriangkrai Mavinn Muaythai opened aggressively against Abdessamie Rhenimi, looking to overwhelm the Moroccan teenager with hooks and sneaky elbows from the outset. But Rhenimi settled into a rhythm as the fight progressed, adjusting his timing and unloading with far more confidence in the second round.
Facing a clear disadvantage in reach, Denkriangkrai got creative, slipping underneath his rival's frame to land heavy knees to the body and keep the pressure on. The final stanza became a true test of endurance, with both competitors exchanging until the final horn.
When the scores were tallied, all three judges sided with the Thai veteran, handing him his 10th win inside ONE Championship and his 63rd career victory.
