This past weekend, England’s Liam Harrison further cemented himself as one of the worlds top fighters after he dismantled highly respected Andrei Kulebin with vicious leg kicks en route to a TKO win in Rd. 3 of their bout at “The Main Event Manchester” event in the UK. Throughout the fight Kulebin struggled to mount any sort of offense against the Bad Company Gym standout. As Kulebin tried to get his offense started, Harrison would consistently counter with vicious low kicks or attack with a series of combinations that would end with low kicks to the inside and outside of Kulebins legs. Towards the end of round two, it was apparent that Harrison’s kicks were beginning to take their toll on the talented Belarussian. In round 3, Harrison unleashed a barrage of leg kicks for everyone of Kulebin’s attempted attacks and at about 30 seconds into the third round Harrison struck with a quick jab low kick combo that ended the fight as Kulebin limped to his corner seeming to motion to the referee that he could not continue.

It was a very impressive performance by Harrison as he made Kulebin look like a far less threat than he truly is. Kulebin has and is considered a top fighter in the world, most recently winning the WKN’s Big 8 Tournament in his home country of Belarus. However, on this night Harrison simply put on a masterful performance to further lay claim that he is the top foreign nakmuay in the world. Perhaps the only man standing in his way from being considered the top “farang” nakmuay in the world at 147 lbs is France’s Fabio Pinca, a fight many in the Muay Thai community are demanding to see. Hopefully somewhere, someone will make this fight happen.
