MANILA, Philippines—Kwon Won Il captured the biggest win of his career, knocking out former bantamweight champion Kevin Belingon 52 seconds into the second round in ONE: Winter Warriors 2 Friday at Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Weaving through Belingon’s strikes, Kwon found the opening and landed a crisp counter left hook to the body sending the Team Lakay star writhing in pain.

The 5-foot-10 Kwon used his height advantage over the 5-foot-5 Belingon to systematically land several left roundhouse kicks while also avoiding the no.2 bantamweight contender’s striking throughout the first.
