Kye Larucci Claims Dominant Win at Prelude to 1774 🥊
The Machete Muay Thai team is proud to celebrate another big win, with Kye Larucci putting on a dominant performance at Prelude to 1774 over the weekend.
Matched against Seyon from Sitshothon Muay Thai, Kye went the distance over three hard-fought rounds, taking home a strong points decision victory. From the opening bell, his focus and composure were obvious. He established his rhythm early, using sharp jabs, powerful body kicks, and smart footwork to control the centre of the ring.
Throughout the fight, Kye’s ability to adapt stood out. When Seyon tried to close the distance, Kye answered with heavy combinations that landed clean, shutting down any attempts to drive forward. At range, his timing and accuracy kept his opponent guessing. The balance between aggression and control is something Kye has been working on in training — and it showed on fight night.
Taking this fight on just two weeks’ notice and at a higher weight class, Kye had a short but intense preparation. He smashed through hard rounds of sparring, drilled combinations relentlessly, and put in solid strength and conditioning work with our friends over at The Functional Effect. Fight camps are never easy, but Kye’s discipline and work ethic are a big reason he’s continuing to stack up wins.
The team spirit in the lead-up to the fight was unreal. Training partners pushed him every session, coaches fine-tuned the game plan, and the loyal Machete crew turned out in numbers to cheer him on. The energy from the crowd on fight night was massive, and Kye has said how much he appreciates every single voice in his corner.
A big thank you to the promoters of Prelude to 1774 for putting on another top-tier event, and to Seyon and his team for bringing a tough challenge.
This win is another step forward in Kye’s journey, and we’re excited to see what opportunities open up next. Whether it’s climbing the domestic rankings or stepping onto bigger shows, one thing’s for sure — Kye is only getting better.
Stay tuned for updates on his next fight, and in the meantime, let’s keep the momentum rolling in the gym.
