Malaysia's top Muay Thai athlete, Mohammed "Jordan Boy" Mahmoud lives to fight another day. [Newspaper] (2020)
Abstract
The urgency in the command coming from one corner of the ring is discernible but slowly, the words seem to swirl away into the darkness as the arena erupts with the raucous chanting of the highly-charged crowd.
Inside the ring, the dazed expression on the handsome face of Mohammed “Jordan Boy” Mahmoud, one of Malaysia’s top Muay Thai athletes, says it all. Slumped against the ropes and surrounded by concerned officials, the 24-year-old can only look on as his 34-year-old opponent, eight-time Muay Thai World Champion, Liam “Hitman” Harrison, basks in the adulation of his fans inside Bangkok’s Impact Arena.
The Englishman, whose fight moniker “Hitman” truly befits him, had done what he’d promised — end his bantamweight bout at ONE: A New Tomorrow with the young Malaysian up-start in highlight-reel fashion, taking just over two minutes to knock “Jordan Boy” out.
