Her dedication and hard work recently paid off in a high-profile match. From the first round, the intensity was high and the action relentless. Tessa showed her resilience and determination by not allowing herself to be intimidated by her opponent. She went all out and immediately tried to take control of the ring, with the aim of knocking out her opponent early on.

The second round brought a positive turn for Tessa. She stayed focused and waited for the right moment to implement her strategy. With precision and timing, she managed to land a devastating left knee that inexorably felled the opponent. The impact was such that the opponent immediately collapsed, resulting in a convincing knockout (K.O.) for Tessa De kom. This victory in Thailand once again underlines her potential and bodes well for her further career in the international kickboxing world.
