Top bantamweight Muay Thai contender ‘King of the North’ Nico Carrillo’s coach, JP Gallacher, known for his sharp insights and extensive experience in the fight game, confidently predicts that the legendary Thai fighter and former Carrillo opponent Nong-O Hama will emerge victorious in the highly-anticipated match scheduled for this weekend, as he believes in Nong-O’s exceptional skill set, unwavering determination, and proven track record of success in the ring, setting the stage for an electrifying showdown with Carrillo.
Gallacher is confident
As Nong-O prepares to face Kiamran Nabati, a formidable and unbeaten Russian fighter, in the ONE Championship ring, Gallacher is sure the experienced Thai fighter will prevail.
In an interview with South China Morning Post, he recently said “My thing is that for a long time, no one actually came close to popping Nico, and Nong-O managed to actually destroy Nico’s leg. Nico got a very very strong version of Nong-O, because when he fought Haggerty, Nong-O was abroad teaching seminars and stuff. And he got caught cold and he lost his belt.”
He added “So Nong-O prepared extra hard for Nico for a long time. Nico got the best version of him, he just came up short. Nico clipped him and he was done. But the damage done to Nico’s leg was incredible. And the size difference and stuff – like Nong-O was on fire.”
In the second round of their bout at ONE Friday Fights 46 in December 2023, Carrillo submitted Nong-O. That represents ‘King of the North’s’ greatest victory to date.
