Last night, the ONE Championship hosted the biggest fighting event in the history of the event, "ONE:X", and the Featherweight Kickboxing World Championship between Subobang and Marat was also staged in this event. As a result, Subobang won the game with better control and defended his title.
Since Marat had previously koked subo for 29 seconds, although subo has made great progress in recent years, Marat is also generally optimistic. But surprisingly, in the entire five rounds, Marat could not find the opportunity to fire as full force and full output of his punches as in the past.
From the first round, Subobang has frequently used positive pedals to block Marat's attack, supplemented by front-hand stabbing, mid-sweep kicks, and knee bumps and hugs behind the body, and this not-so-new tactic has proved to be the best means to restrain the master of boxing.
Subobang kicked hundreds of positive kicks in the whole field, keeping Marat firmly under the middle and long distance. Of course, you can also say that Subobang's set of tactics is too passive, and the strategic goal is to block + play a little blood rather than end the game, not aggressive enough. But to the extent allowed by the rules, this tactic may be the best choice for Subo.
After Subobang defended his title, his next opponent was also obvious, that is, Arazov, who won the championship by defeating Sittychai in a kickboxing eight-man match. Arazov was equally strong in the eight-man race, first defeating Sami Sana and "Lion King" Joe Natavut with two KO wins, followed by a complete victory over Sittchai in the final.
With more balanced punches and legs and a higher frequency and three-dimensionality, Alassov may pose a greater threat to today's Subobang. But this match is expected to take place at least 2 months later, and it remains to be seen whether the final chapter of this "Kickboxing World War" can be concluded in this match.
