In last night's ONE Championship "ONE: Tiger Out of the Mountain" competition, China's Chen Rui brought a match that made boxing fans boil with blood.
His opponent is New Zealander Mark Abbelardo, nicknamed "Tyson", and the duel between the two has been tortuous, and finally Chen Rui won the last moment with a strong will, showing the indomitable fighting spirit of Chinese boxers in the world arena.
Although Abelado is far from Tyson's achievements, his body shape and fighting style do have similarities with Tyson.
His height of 1 meter 65 can only be regarded as "dwarf half head" in the chickweight, but like Tyson, he uses the muscle dimension to make up for the lack of height, which also gives him a powerful heavy punch and overall explosiveness.
In this game, Chen Rui used his height advantage to control Abelado in the middle and long distance, but in fact, this also hid a crisis.
Because every breakthrough of Abelado has the potential to strike a decisive blow. Entering the second round, Abelado chose to hold the fall and the cage side control, and the change in tactics also made Chen Rui fall into passivity.
But just over a minute before the end of the game, Chen Rui, who finally got up and returned to his standing state, opened the onslaught.
But in fact, at this time, both of their physical strength is exhausted, and it is precisely who can bite their teeth and play one or two more attacks.
Chen Rui mechanically combined his punches, facing the opponent's big swing punches and constantly approaching, until the bell rang Chen Rui stopped attacking. It can be said that in the first half of this game, Chen Rui had the advantage in standing blows, followed by Abelardo's advantage in wrestling and fighting, and it was the last minute of the confrontation that decided the outcome.
In the end, Chen Rui also won the favor of the referee with this 1 minute, and unanimously decided to win. Before this battle, Chen Rui had suffered two consecutive defeats in the ONE Championship, so this game was particularly important. Chen Rui, who won this victory, is worthy of the name of a tough guy, and he also hopes that he can have a better performance in the future.
