Takeru Segawa did one thing Rodtang couldn’t do at ONE 173 by knocking out ‘The Bosnian Menace’ Denis Purić.
Coming off a devastating 80-second knockout loss in opposition to ‘The Iron Man’ in March, Takeru delivered a superb bounce-back efficiency in his dwelling nation, placing away Purić simply earlier than the three-minute mark of the second spherical.
With the clock winding down within the second stanza, Takeru unleashed a head kick that caught Purić on the chin, stumbling the Bosnian bruiser. Smelling blood within the water, ‘The Pure Born Crusher’ delivered an onslaught of strikes, sending Purić crashing to the canvas and forcing referee Olivier Coste to step in and name for the stoppage.
Official End result: Takeru Segawa def. Denis Purić by way of TKO (head kick to strikes) at 2:49 of Spherical 2.
