Prajanchai says he will target Joseph Lasiri’s recent leg injury in Muay Thai title fight
With over 400 fights to his credit, Prajanchai PK Saenchai presents a real challenge for Joseph Lasiri this Friday at ONE Championship‘s ONE: 157 in Singapore.
Prajanchai is the promotion’s strawweight Muay Thai champion, fighting out of P.K. Saenchai Muay Thai Gym in Thailand.
The champion spoke with promotion officials ahead of this week’s title fight.
What is the most dangerous weapon in Joseph Lasiri’s skill set, and what makes him such a tough opponent?
“He is an aggressive fighter, his endurance is good, and he never hesitates to trade weapons.”
Do you see any his weaknesses?
“He must leave a window for me when he comes to throw his knees. He has quite a lot of blind spots, and I also found that he would stumble after he ate punches. It seems that he doesn’t like punches. Also, his footwork is not good. Moreover, now he just had a leg injury, so that can be my target.”
