March 26 is a big day for Subobang, a big day that he has been waiting for for four years, when he will take the "ONE:X" arena to face the opponent who has appeared countless times in his nightmares, Marat Grigoryan. Subobang bet on his featherweight kickboxing world champion gold belt, hoping to be shamed by Marat KO. "Four years have passed, and I want to clean the stains!" Remember what I did to Petosio? This time against Malate, I will play harder! ”
Marat was the last to defeat Subobang. Due to an accidental infection with covid-19, Marat withdrew from the featherweight kickboxing world eight-man competition. But the armenian general's presence has called into question the status of the king of Subo. Under the voice of boxing fans and the desire of Subobang, Marat was blessed with misfortune and directly won the right to challenge the championship. Marat will not let the once-in-a-lifetime chance to win slip through his fingers, he wants to recreate a scene from 4 years ago - KO Subobang. "I came for Subobang and wanted to see the fear in his eyes. I want to knock him down again! ”
The two top boxers in the featherweight have both said that they want to use KO to end the feud, so the remaining question is simple: is Subobang's leg sweep stronger, or Marat's heavy blow is stronger?
1. Can Marat, who has not been KO for fourteen years, be able to carry the sweeping legs of Subobang?
After Su Bobang came to the ONE Championship, the progress was obvious to all. Especially in the match against George, Subobang controlled the distance with his leg method, kicked the torso first, drew George's attention to the torso and then suddenly changed, high-swept headshot KO, and the fast and coherent leg method was simply amazing. Subobang made it clear before the game that he would fight for the high-sweep headscorn KO Marat like KO George.
But Marate is not so easily KO, his last game was early termination was in 2008, and it was not KO, just the referee to terminate the game TKO. Although Marat attacked fiercely, he was not a reckless man who could not be defended, and his fists were very tight when he approached forward. In the past 14 years, Marat has faced the top 70 kg Muay Thai boxer, Sitthai's high sweep leg failed to knock out Marat, and the "computer fighter" Yasan Clay, who is known as one of the greatest heavy gunners in the history of Muay Thai, also failed to KO Marat with a powerful sweep kick. It is not an exaggeration to say that Marat is the number one tough guy in today's featherweight class.
Su Bobang believes that it takes not only strength to knock down opponents, but also precision and timing. Malate's attempted knockdown against ivan Kondratev, who was not very loud, showed that Marat was not indestructible. This time, will Subobang seize that fleeting and precious opportunity?
2. Is Subobang, who fell under his fist twice, really immune to heavy blows now?
After Su Bobang came to the kickboxing ring, he was not good at defending against boxing for a long time, and was successively ko by Sittychai and Marat, and even once labeled "soda" by boxing fans. But Subobang believes he has learned from his failures and closed the loopholes. "The failure made me train harder, I realized that my defense was flawed and I had to be vigilant at all times." Subobang takes revenge on Sitthai, and George, who is good at boxing, proves his adaptation to the rules of kickboxing.
Judging from the performances of continuous KO Ivan Kondratev and Andy Suva, Marat's fist is definitely one of the most terrifying weapons in the featherweight. However, Marat said before the game that this time it would bring surprises - he would use the sweep to kick KO Subobang. Subobang thinks Marat's words are just psychological tactics: "He can only box, who has he used to kick KO with a sweep?" How can I KO me? ”
Marat believed that Subobang had to "sleep" once in front of him. "Last game, I KOed him. I thought he could still get up and keep fighting, but he couldn't get up at all. He was really asleep, and I think that's why he wanted to fight World War II. Welcoming him to revenge, I focused on the game, hoping to give the audience what they wanted to see – again cold ko him. Su Bobang, don't forget how you fell asleep in front of me, I'm here again. ”
Objectively speaking, although Subobang has made obvious progress, there are still weaknesses. In the match against George, Subobang controlled the distance by continuous kicking, but he was also forced to retreat by George many times, and even appeared to be unstable in the next game. Although Subobang eventually swept ko George, when facing the more oppressive Marat, whether he could withstand the opponent's onslaught also had to be a question mark. Not to mention, Malat also seems to have prepared a new weapon for the sweep kick.
If, as the two said, one person in this game is going to fall, who do you think it will be?
