On January 28, in "ONE: Invincible", the semi-finals of the Featherweight Kickboxing World Eight-Man Tournament staged two wonderful battles.
Facing Marat Grigoryan as World Champion Muay Thai world champion Joe Natavut, Chiniz Arazov showed a super punching and leg explosion, quickly knocking his opponent down in the second. Some of the slow-heating Natavut seemed to be unable to keep up with the rhythm of his opponents, and was cut like a melon by Arazov, and the game was only played for 1 minute and 55 seconds. With a brilliant performance, Arazov advanced strongly and received a bonus of fifty thousand dollars. It is worth mentioning that Arazov did not let his opponents hold out for too long in the first round of the eight-man race, and it took only 39 seconds to KO "AK 47" Sammy-Sana. The two games combined didn't even take a round.
If Arazov used his explosive power to beat his opponents, then Sitichy was the performance of the "Master of Control" to reach the final. Facing his old rival David Kilia, Sittiko played very patiently, using his legs to control the distance, and the opponent used his knees as soon as he got close. Kilia clenched her heavy punches but could not find the opportunity to attack, but was kicked down by Sittychai's high sweeping leg. Sitchai suppressed the opponent with a three-dimensional attack of fist, leg and knee, and easily won three battles. Boxers were pleasantly surprised to see that the once invincible Sitichai was back.
At his post-match press conference, Arazov said he was very happy to get a $50,000 bonus and that he would use the money to help the coach buy a house. Next, Arazov will travel to Thailand to prepare for the game, where he can find players who play similar to Sitthai and train them in targeted training.
"I managed to get my ticket to the finals and I'm ready to do a big job, and I want to thank my team for their help, my sparring partner and coach, and my opponent, Natavut. The final will be played on March 26 and my opponent is Sitthai, and I hope to be the last king. I'm going to start training tomorrow and I have to be fully prepared for the match against Sittychai. ”
Sytichai, who has regained his form, is domineering on the field and confident in his press conference, and he believes that the key to winning this game is the success of defensive counter-attack tactics, and he knows Kilia very well, so he won three battles smoothly. Sitichai watched the performance of his opponent Arazov and expressed confidence in winning the finals. "I'm ready to fight for the glory of the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Eight, let's see you on the ONE X field. Buy a ticket to see my show! ”
Arazov admits that Sittsa, who has regained his form, is the strongest opponent, even better than everyone else in the featherweight, so he must be fully prepared. "It's no secret that Sittychai is among the top boxers in the knockout rounds, and maybe he's stronger than George, better than Marat, or even better than Subobang. He's a top boxer, and so am I, I'm 100% into shape now and into tomorrow's training. ”
One is an imposing KO master, the other is an experienced "master of control", in "ONE X" on March 26, who do you think will be able to lift the crown of the featherweight kickboxing world eight-man championship?
