Carrillo Secures Victory with Second-Round TKO

Nico “King of the North” Carrillo maintained his position as the #4 featherweight Muay Thai contender by defeating Luke “The Chef” Lessei via second-round TKO.

His efforts paid off when he connected with a right punch and knee combination, sending Lessei down for an eight-count.

Trapped in the corner, Lessei tried to absorb the punishment, but Carrillo never gave him a chance. At 2:35 of the second round, the referee stepped in to stop the fight. This victory improved Carrillo’s record to 29-4 and placed him in contention for the ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Title.

Moments later, Black Panther added another knockdown with a jutting right elbow, and finally, a left hook sent Estupinan face-first into the canvas at 1:29 of the second round.

This win extended Black Panther’s striking record to 80-17 and marked his fourth consecutive victory, solidifying his status as one of the division’s top contenders.
