John Lineker may have a new challenger in Fabricio Andrade

At earlier this month, we saw the emergence of perhaps a new challenger to bantamweight world champion John Lineker's belt. 'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade recorded his third straight KO/TKO win to top off a red-hot 7-fight winning streak. The Brazilian did so by folding a fellow knockout artist, 'Pretty Boy' Kwon Won Il. The KO was so impressive that ONE awarded Andrade a $50,000 performance bonus for it. Both Kwon and Andrade are considered two of the most dangerous knockout artists in the division. The bout was deemed the proverbial "unstoppable force meets an immovable object" match-up. Right from the get-go, Andrade threw a left roundhouse kick to Kwon's mid-section, seemingly telling the Korean that he has more weapons than just his explosive hands. After a few intense exchanges on the feet, 'Wonder Boy' connected again with the same left kick to the body. The timing and impact were perfect as Kwon fell to the ground in utter pain, handing Andrade the win via KO. In his post-fight interview, Andrade unsurprisingly called out world champ John Lineker, whom he's been calling out for months: "I have been working a lot with my kicks. Everything, you know. And I knew he [Kwon] have some openings and I knew when I touch him, I have some different power, you know. I have some different speed and I knew I was going to finish him and I know I'm gonna finish [ONE bantamweight champion] John Lineker. Get ready boy, you are next." Though an official fight has yet to be announced between the two, it's hard to deny that Andrade is the perfect next opponent for Lineker. It will be an epic battle that will surely see someone go out before the final bell. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
