When it comes to a fight, only superbon has the ability to make Tawanchai display emotion.”It absolutely was a work of art. This conflict requires further investigation.”The solution to my inquiry about the post titled “What to Expect in Superbon vs. Tawanchai Fight?” has been provided. When I said, “Will this be the fight where Tawanchai showed an expression?” I was the one who raised the question. Indeed, he cracks a grin, lol.With a smile on his face, Tawanchai was finally enjoying the fight. Without a doubt, it was not the easiest fight, but Superbon was truly up for the challenge. It would be amazing to watch them both engage in a fight over and over again.The intensity of their fight was so intense that nobody was knocked out, which is unfathomable. Those who are truly Thai fighters are a different kind.
