Former lightweight champion Eduard Folayang of the Philippines was overpowered by his biggest Australian opponent during his return fight to ONE: Inside the Matrix on Friday night at Singapore Indoor Stadium
Folayang struggled to connect his strikes against 5-foot-11-inch Antonio Caruso who dropped him twice in the 3-round lightweight clash
When the Filipino fighter closed in the first two rounds, Caruso used his superior ground game to pin down Folayang
Folayang managed to pull off some of his low kicks and right hands in the third when Caruso chose to engage him in stand-up but got cradled with another right hook to the head
The last time he won was by technical decision against Mongolian Amarsanaa Tsogookhuu in November 2019
The long layoff appears to have affected Folayang, who was seen panting after battling Caruso in the first 2 rounds
