On March 26, "ONE:X" staged a total of five world championship defenses, but only one new king ascended the throne, that is, WFKO karate world champion Akimoto Takashi Akimoto, who defeated Capitan in the Weeweight Kickboxing World Championship.
Because of the successive victories over The Famous Chinese "Muay Thai Kid" Zhang Chenglong and the "Tank" Qiu Jianliang, Akimoto Haogui has become one of the most familiar topic figures for Chinese boxing fans. Although Akimoto has only lost one game since he entered the kickboxing arena in 2008, he did not have a strong presence for a long time. In particular, in the first battle with Zhang Chenglong, Akimoto Haogui performed mediocrely, and although he won the victory, he was questioned. Through the tempering of the Evolution Boxing Gym, in just one and a half years, Akimoto Haogui "evolved" rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the second battle with Zhang Chenglong, Akimoto Haogui's combo ability has improved significantly, and the fast-paced smooth fist and leg combination makes Zhang Chenglong very uncomfortable. In the face of Qiu Jianliang, who has long been famous all over the world, Akimoto Haogui fought to the end, especially the sharp low sweep kick was full of power, which made Qiu Jianliang's old injury recur, and finally won the victory with a three-dimensional offensive and won the championship challenge.
Before the fight with Kapitan, many people doubted whether Akimoto Haogui could withstand the hammer-like punches and axe-like sweeps of Kapitan, after all, Kapitan set a 6-second KO record, and his low sweep almost broke the leg of former champion "babyface killer" Alaverdi Ramazzanov. But what is unexpected is that this time Akimoto Haogui evolved again, not only maintaining the fast-paced combination offensive ability, but also going further in the heavy killing damage, the strong low sweep leg made Capitan unstable, and the combination of heavy punches forced Capitan to rely on hugging many times to resolve the crisis, eat yellow cards, and even be deducted points for repeated fouls. Although Capitan was not KO, being forced to resolve the crisis by committing fouls many times is undoubtedly the biggest humiliation for the champion.
Akimoto's incredible high-frequency output lasted for five rounds, and his physical reserves were admirable. In the end, Akimoto Haogui won the undisputed victory by judgment, although he failed to KO the opponent, he still got a bonus of fifty thousand US dollars, which shows the fierceness and excitement of this game. Akimoto admits that this is a tough battle.
"The Capitan was so strong, so tenacious, that when it came to the third round, I started asking myself, can I continue? Now that I'm still standing, I've got the gold belt. I train hard every day with my coach, three times a week, which is a victory of willpower that pushes me forward. The coach told me every day that I would be a champion. Today my hard work has paid off, I believe in myself, I believe in my coaches, I believe in my teammates, thank you to each and every one of you! ”
With the help of the Evolution Boxing Gym team, Akimoto did not adopt clever tactics, but instead crushed Kapitan head-on, with a skillful combination of fists and legs, tireless attack, abundant physical strength and indomitable fighting spirit, he got the coveted golden belt. He will continue to "evolve" with the team and strive to defend the golden belt for as long as possible.
"It's very tough to beat a tenacious champion but I proved my desire to win, some say it was the best match tonight so far, I'm happy to hear such compliments, after all the bonus is not so easy to get, thanks to everyone. This gold belt is really heavy and shows the value of a champion. For me, the gold belt is a responsibility, and I will try to defend the title as much as possible, so that the things carried by the gold belt are getting heavier and heavier! ”
In addition to The first Capitan in the current list, there are former champion Ramazanov, Muay Thai world champion Nono Gaiyanhadao, Pachkinon and Felipe, who also belong to the Evolution Boxing Gym. Who do you think can stop Akimoto Haogui?
