ONE Championship: Liam Harrison ‘a bit let down’ by Superlek’s 5lbs weight miss for Rodtang fight
- Harrison says his Yokkao training partner ‘eats mounds of rice’ at the gym during fight week – ‘he needs to get a nutritionist on board’
- Superlek won decision in Bangkok, but Harrison wonders if there is ‘definitive answer’ to who is best pound-for-pound 135 fighter
Liam Harrison admitted that he was “a little bit let down” by Superlek Kiatmookao’s ONE Friday Fights 34 scale fail last week.
Bantamweight Muay Thai contender Harrison, a training partner of Superlek’s at the Yokkao gym when he is in Thailand, flew from the UK to sit and watch ringside at the event but could not hide his disappointment.
“I feel a bit let down, like we’ve been robbed of something that could have been for the history books,” Harrison said soon before the fight took place, backstage at Lumpinee Stadium.
“Superlek’s made weight plenty of times. I don’t think there’s any excuse for it. People are saying he needs to move up – what needs to happen is get a nutritionist on board and have someone help you out and get the right advice, and he will make that weight easily.
