The featherweight 70 kg kick boxing field with famous players and masters is called "star-making factory" by boxing fans, and the superstars of the King of Heaven are famous here. When champions from all over the world and different organizations joined the ONE Championship, a brutal battle between kings officially began in "ONE: One Hit into the Soul" last October.
In the first featherweight kickboxing world championship battle, Subobang's high sweeping legs were haunted, and a blow shattered the jaw of "Doctor" George Petosio, and KO won the gold belt of the featherweight kickboxing world championship. The Featherweight Kickboxing World Eight lasted two rounds, with "Babyface Killer" Sytichai defeating "Viper" Taifan Hoskan and "Bearded Killer" Davit Chilia reaching the final round, and Chinziz Arazov became another contender for the eight-man championship belt with a series of amazing performances of KO Sami Sana and Joe Natav.
On March 26, in "ONE:X", the featherweights ushered in two kicking belt battles. Subobang will face old rival Marat Grigoryan in his first defending title. Sittychai and Arazov will launch a final dash towards the glory of the eight-man championship. The top four kings of the featherweight gathered together, who is the kickboxing "king of kings"?
Subobang: I want a headshot in Marat
For Subobang, the match against Marat is not only a battle to defend the title, but also a battle of revenge. In February 2018, Subobang was caught by Marat in the first battle with a defensive hole and was ko-killed, a thrilling match that lasted only 29 seconds. The defeat became the biggest stain on Subobang's career. Knowing the shame and courage, this defeat made Su Bobang work harder and quickly adapted to the kick boxing field.
"That failure made me train harder and I realised that my defence had holes and had to be vigilant at all times. Will I consider myself a weakling? No! I'm a lot better than I was four years ago. I was going to play two games a night that time, so I wasn't focused enough on training, this time I just had to focus all my energy on Marat, I trained harder than ever, 100% sure I could win. I've been waiting for this rematch to prove that I'm the undisputed king of featherweights. I'll be like KO George, the first round high sweep headscorn KO Marat. Malate, now it's time for me to win back! ”
Marat: My style is suitable for dealing with Subobang
Although Marat withdrew from the eight-man tournament because of the new crown, Saion lost his horse, and Su Bobang's obsession with revenge and the cries of boxing fans allowed him to directly take the championship challenge. Although a challenger, Marat has a psychological advantage, and he once cut melons and cut vegetables like KO Subobang. Marat saw recent advances in Subobang, but the fact that he believed they were in tune with each other's styles had not changed. Unlike George, who mainly defended and counterattacked, Malate played more violently, accustomed to oppressing opponents with powerful tank tactics, disrupting the opponent's rhythm and looking for opportunities for heavy blows. "I knew Subobang was dangerous and he seized on George's mistake and ended the game. The last time I koed Subobang in more than twenty seconds, Subobang's technique was good, but my style was very suitable for dealing with him. I'm confident I can beat Subobang. ”
Sitty: This is the most well-prepared match I have ever played!
Recently, Sittychai has regained his concentration and state on the field. If in the match against the "viper" Taifan Hoskan, Sytichai is not yet in full form and has won a stumbling block, then in the battle with Kilia, Sitiko really showed the level of "master of control". Facing Qilia, who has a one-move killing power, Sitichai suppresses the opponent with a three-dimensional attack of fist, leg and knee, and easily wins three battles. When confronted with Arazov, who also had KO strength and was taller, Sitich knew he had to be more prepared. "The match against Arazov was the most prepared of my career, with a month more to prepare than ever before, and this game was crucial for me. I believe that in the featherweight only Marat and Subobang can compare with me. I'm ready to fight for the glory of the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Eight, let's see you on the field! ”
Arazov: Sittychai is the top boxer, and so am I!
Arazov's performances in the last two games have been enough to prove his prowess. He KO Joe Natawut took just 1 minute and 55 seconds, and KO "AK 47" Sammy Sana took even less time, 39 seconds, and the two games combined took less than a round. In order to deal with Sitthai, Arazov went to Thailand early to prepare for the battle, because there are many excellent Thai style sparring, know thyself and know each other, in order to win every battle. "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 the groove now. "Arazov is 181 centimeters tall, 7 centimeters higher than Sititchai, he not only has heavy punches, but also his legs are very sharp, and he can launch heavy blows from all angles, which is invincible, which makes it difficult to control the field" of Sititchai. Will Arazov be the last laugher in the eight-man race?
Four top boxers, Subobang, Marat, Sittychai and Arazov, appeared on 26 March and decided to belong to the featherweight world champion gold belt and the eight-man belt. The winner of the two matches will also have a battle in the future. Who do you think will be the undisputed "king of kings" in the history of featherweights?
