Brazilian slugger John Lineker (34-9) kept his ONE championship record perfect, scoring an emphatic first-round knockout of Troy Worthen (7-2) to move to 3-0 in the promotion. The contest served as the headlining bout of ONE on TNT III , which took place at Singapore Indoor Stadium and aired in primetime Wednesday in the U.S on TNT. Lineker was aggressive early, pushing forward and landing massive bodyshots with high pressure and reckless abandon. Once Worthen felt the power, Lineker added punches to the chin to his flurries, as well. To his credit, Worthen stood his ground and tried to return fire, but he wasn’t able to implement his wrestling while he was defending powerful strikes. It was playing with fire, and it cost Worthen, who caught a straight right hand to the chin late in the frame.
