In 2021, the new crown epidemic is still raging, but Chinese boxers have never been absent on the international stage, showing their passion for fighting with their blood and fighting spirit, and pursuing the dream of champion in their hearts.
1. "Desert Flower" Meng Bo
On January 22, 2021, Mumbo played former grassweight world champion Samara Santos in "ONE: Indestructible". Because of the problem of weight loss before the game, Meng Bo was not in good shape, but she still gritted her teeth and fought hard, and suddenly broke out in a wave of onslaughts at the last moment of the game, winning three consecutive ones with a consistent judgment and getting the ticket to the women's atomic weight eight-man competition.
On September 3, "ONE: Heroes of the Towel", in the first round of the women's atomicweight eight-player round, Meng Bo fought three rounds with the "Indian Tiger" Ritu Foda. In the first leg, Meng Bo used his standing advantage and punched Ritu to a halt. Ritu showed a strong will to overcome difficulties and regained control of the game with a powerful wrestling in the second leg. In the end, Meng Bo scored points to lose the game. After the game, Meng Bo slashed his ambitions, started again, made up for shortcomings, and upgraded to the grassweight level, and will face former champion challenger Zhang Huiwen in January next year.
2. "Ghost" Chen Rui
On January 29, "ONE: Indestructible II", Chen Rui confronted South Korea's "beautiful man" Kwon Moon-er. Chen Rui and Quan Wen'er fought each other hard at the beginning, and Quan Wen'er got the riding position through wrestling and then hit a round of critical hits. Chen Rui survived the difficulties and launched a bloody battle with Quan Wen'er. In the third round, Kwon Wen'er won the match with the explosive liver punch TKO Chen Rui. The tournament is considered to be one of the candidates for the best competition of 2021, and Chen Rui lost.
On July 30, "ONE: Racing the Battlefield", Chen Rui confronted Jeremy Pakatu, the "red tank" of the Laikai team. Packatu also did not fight with Chen Rui, combined with wrestling and flexible movement, Chen Rui could not find the opportunity to play a heavy punch. In the end, Pakatu won the victory by relying on targeted tactics for three rounds. Chen Rui's tactics are obviously too single, and I hope that in the future, he can develop more new weapons and make his tactics more abundant.
3. "Muay Thai Kid" Zhang Chenglong
February 26 "ONE: Fist of Flames", Zhang Chenglong WROTE 2 Akimoto Haogui. Compared with the first battle that relied on clicks, Akimoto Haogui showed a lot of progress this time, and the combination of fists and legs was skillful. In contrast, Zhang Chenglong was suppressed by his opponent in rhythm, unable to play his own technical characteristics, and finally lost the game by consistency.
Zhang Chenglong was plagued by injuries and has not been able to return to peak condition. On September 24, "ONE: Groundbreaking", facing Pachkinon, who ranked fifth in the welterweight kickboxing list, Zhang Chenglong was controlled by the opponent's wrapped knee strike and long-distance leg method, and once again decided to lose the game and fell out of the top five list. Zhang Chenglong is still very young, hoping to recover from his injuries after losing consecutively, and return to the field next year at his best and return to the ranks of winners.
4. Han Zihao
On March 5, "ONE: Fist of Flame II", Han Zihao confronted the last 2-time IFMA Muay Thai world champion Adam Noy. In the face of Noy's lightning-fast leg method, Han Zihao broke the opponent's defense with sharp punches, and finally won the points in three rounds, playing a round cage with two consecutive wins.
On November 12, "ONE: Renewal II", Han Zihao and his old rival Victor Pinto narrow road met. Han Zihao knocked down Pinto reading the second with a heavy punch in the first round. In the second round, Pinto punched down Han Zihao with his front hand, and also used color. In the last round, Han Zihao broke the opponent's defenses many times with a straight fist like an armor-piercing bullet, and finally won three consecutive victories in the cage.
5. "KO male god" Tang Kai
On March 5, in "ONE: Fist of Flame II", "KO Male God" Tang Kai took on former Shooto Ring Pacific Featherweight Champion Takahashi Yugo. The match lasted only 1 minute and 59 seconds, and Tang Kai hit KO Takahashi with a heavy punch. This is Chinese's first KO Japanese player at ONE, and he is also a Japanese champion!
On November 12, "ONE: Replacement II", Tang Kai once again solved the battle with a heavy hand. He spent 4 minutes and 03 seconds TKO "Big Heart" Yin Changmin, played a five-game winning streak in the cage, and climbed to the fourth place in the featherweight mixed martial arts ranking list, becoming the first Chinese player to enter the MEN's Mixed Martial Arts Ranking of the ONE Championship, creating a new history. In 2022, I believe that Tang Kai can bring us more surprises.
6. "Wolf Warrior" Hu Yong
On March 19, "ONE: Fist of Flame III", Hu Yong made his international debut. In the face of Thailand's famous Yuka Ka Kao, who was named one of the "Top Five Breakthrough Boxers of 2020", although Hu Yong was not optimistic before the game, he flexibly used tactics in the case of an accidental fracture of his palm at the beginning of the game, and defeated the strong enemy in three rounds.
On December 3, "ONE: Winter God of War", Hu Yong confronted Yuya Wakamatsu, the third-ranked "little piranha" in the order of flies. In the case of injuring his foot in the first round, Hu Yong was repeatedly knocked down by his opponent and finally lost three rounds. Despite losing the game, Hu Yong gained valuable experience and the future can be expected.
7. "Little Whirlwind" Wang Shuo
On April 15, in "ONE: Earth-shattering II", Xinjiang International Fighting Club fierce general "Little Whirlwind" Wang Shuo walked into the round cage and fought against Kim Gyu Sung from the Evolution Boxing Gym. Facing the Korean kickboxing champion 10 centimeters higher than himself, Wang Shuo played small and big, dared to fight, and in the third round of 1 minute and 51 seconds, seized the opportunity to elbow KO Kim Gyu Sung and won the first victory of the ONE Championship.
8. "Shaolin Kid" Miao Litao
Miao Litao is the boxer with the highest attendance among Chinese boxers this year. On April 22, in "ONE: Earth-shattering III", Miao Litao and the Japanese "son of the dragon" Sawada Ryujin began a second battle. Miao Litao resisted the fierce wrestling of his opponents in the game, prevented cross solidity and naked hanging, and established an advantage with his fists, and finally successfully took revenge in three rounds.
On August 13, Miao Litao faced Alex Silva, the former grassweight world champion "Little Rock". In the face of the fifth-ranked jiu-jitsu master, Miao Litao escaped the dangerous cross solid many times, but after playing three rounds, he still lost points.
On October 29, "ONE: Renewal", Miao Litao confronted Jeremy Miaduo, who had once KOed himself, and in this game, Miaduo used the height and arm span advantage to hit Miao Litao many times in his boxing. In the second round, Miao Litao was injured in the eye, Mia duo took advantage of the victory to chase, and the referee saw the situation and terminated the game. Miao Litao's revenge failed, and he was again attacked by TKO.
9. "Hunter" Shevi
On May 28, "ONE: Full Force", "Hunter" Shevi vs. Indian judo master "Kannada" Kantaraki-Agatha. In the match, Xie Wei gave full play to his standing advantage, breaking Agatha's head with a flying knee in the second round, forcing his opponent to abandon the third round of the game and win in the way of TKO.
On August 27, "ONE: Race to the Battlefield III", Xie Wei faced South Korea's "tumbler" Kim Dae-hwan. In his previous 13-year career, Kim Dae-hwan had never been KO. But this record was broken in front of Shevi. With powerful body punches, Shevi won the TKO at 1 minute and 46 seconds in the third round, winning the last eighth TKO. After the war, Xie Wei was also considered the most likely Chinese boxer to be in the top five in 2022.
10. "Little Monster" Liang Hui
On May 28, "ONE: Full Battle Force", Liang Hui, the "Little Monster" from the Xinjiang International Fight Club, confronted Anthony Duo, the "antidote" of the American AKA team.
