In "ONE: Renewal III" last November, American star "Monkey God" Jared Brooks made a big splash in his round cage debut, and in the second round, he won the second round with an arm triangle twist to defeat the Philippine Lekai team "Thunder Kid" Lito Adiwang. This victory not only put him in third place in the grassweight list, but also made him a topic of conversation in The Asian arena.
Although Brooks has repeatedly called Wargrassweight World Champion "Passion" Joshua Pasio, it is clear that one victory alone is not enough. Pasio doesn't think Brooks could threaten his title. "I have a respect for Brooks, who is experienced, confident and one of the most threatening boxers of this class. But I'm training hard every day, improving 1% a day, and he's never met anyone as strong as I am. ”
Brooks needs to win more convincing victories in order to win the world championship challenge, and in this Friday's "ONE: Invincible", he will face Japanese boxer Miki Leaf, who is fourth on the grassweight list. Like Brooks, Shooto world champion Mikorawa has beaten Adiwan. Brooks: "A boxer's career is limited, and I want to play more games and play the strongest opponents. Miyasuwa is a very strong boxer and I think he's the best boxer in the top five lists besides Bokang Ma Songyang. He's not the kind of guy who would make a big splash on social media, but he has a lot of great qualities that I think he's underrated. ”
Despite acknowledging that opponents are strong, Brooks believes he is better. "I'm more aggressive than he is, he's probably more flexible, but no one in the grassweights is going to be stronger and faster than me and I'm going to give him a tough game. If he wants to fight with me, I can only wish him good luck, and if he wants to fall over me, I also wish him good luck. He couldn't suppress me at all, my fists were faster and heavier than his! ”
Brooks didn't show much of his batting skills in the match against Adiwan, and quickly hugged Adiwan at the start of the game, firmly controlling the rhythm of the game and finally finding an opportunity to surrender his opponent. But he wanted to show his martial arts in a match against Mikasa, who was a strong wrestler known for his wrestling. Brooks won the Indiana State High School Wrestling Championship in high school, but he was equally confident in his boxing skills.
"I'm going to show my punching skills in this game and I'm going to adjust the game plan according to the different opponent styles. Every boxer wants to make a quick decision, to knock down the opponent in the first 30 seconds, preferably in the first 30 seconds. That's cool, and I really like to take out opponents like that, but we have to be ready to play for 15 minutes. Mikasa leaf is physically good and doesn't look like he's tired, so I'm ready to beat him up. He's still a kid and I'll spank his ass! ”
"My attention is now on Mizuka, but sooner or later I'll have a fight with Pasio!" The American "monkey god" Brooks is ready to dominate the Asian boxing world, do you think he has this strength?
