ONE Friday Fights 171 Results: Klarob Gets Third Straight Win, Mahar Thway Escapes With Undefeated Record

A firefight nobody blinked in, and an unbeaten record pushed to its absolute limit. Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium turned into a battleground on Friday, September 18, as ONE Friday Fights 171 delivered a main event that lived up to every ounce of pre-bout hype and a co-main event that nearly saw a perfect run destroyed. By the time the final bell rang, both winners had earned far more than just a victory on the scorecards.

Klarob Passes The Toughest Test Of His Career

Klarob NuiCafeboran knew heading into the ONE Friday Fights 171 headliner that Sornsueknoi FA Group wasn't going to make things easy, and the veteran delivered exactly the kind of chaos he promised.

The 26-year-old worked behind kicks and tight combinations early, but Sornsueknoi refused to be outworked, cracking through with heavy hands that tested every bit of Klarob's composure.

Round two swung violently in both directions, with the 31-year-old FA Group representative finding a home for a big right hook. Klarob answered back with an elbow-punctuated flurry that shifted momentum right back into his direction.

Then came the third, where Sornsueknoi turned up the pressure with a string of uppercuts that had his rival’s head snapping backward. Somehow, the younger man weathered it all, standing his ground until the horn sounded.

The scorecards came back unanimous in his favor, giving Klarob his 84th career victory, putting him on a three-bout winning streak, and pushing him closer to the life-changing contract and coveted spot on ONE Championship’s global roster.

Mahar Thway's Perfect Record Survives A Brutal Test

Nobody warned Petsuphan Lookmuangpet that he'd nearly spoil a debut at ONE Friday Fights 171.

The 25-year-old Thai standout gave Mahar Thway all he could handle in the strawweight Muay Thai co-main event, but in the end, the Myanmar-bred promotional newcomer left Lumpinee Stadium with the split-decision win.

Mahar Thway fought from range and operated behind a sharp left cross early. But Petsuphan answered back with heavy hands. In fact, at one point in the second round, he landed a powerful right hand so devastating that it sent his adversary’s armband flying off his bicep.

The 20-year-old Myanmar native turned up the pressure in the third and final stanza, landing a high kick and following up with punches that nearly finished the fight. But Petsuphan absorbed it, fired back an elbow in defiance, and refused to give the judges an easy decision.

When the scores were tallied, Mahar Thway edged it by the slimmest of margins, keeping his unbeaten run alive at 11-0 in what he'll likely remember as the hardest night of his young career.
