On March 26, during the "ONE:X" featherweight kickboxing world championship defense battle, Su Bobang waited for the revenge battle that he waited for day and night. Facing Marat, who had once KO himself, Subobang threw off two large legs and kicked desperately, so that Marat never had a chance to hit a fatal blow in five rounds. In the end, Su Bobang was humiliated by the point advantage and repaid the revenge of being KO four years ago.
Although Marat did not ko the opponent as said before the game, nor did he show the leg sweeping skills discussed before the game, with the offensive momentum of not retreating in five rounds, Marat still gained the support of many boxing fans. Many people believe that the indomitable Marat can show the fighting spirit of a boxer better than the tactical defensive counterattack of Subobang. However, for the top boxers, only a strong fighting spirit is not enough, Malate is not tactically prepared, over-reliance on close-range boxing, and the fatigue of Subobang's leg and knee skills shows that he is not ready to become a world champion.
After the match, Marat said he would learn from the game and be ready to return with a stronger stance. "Unfortunately, today wasn't my lucky day or the best game I could have performed. Neither our game plan nor the results of our training were revealed, congratulations to my opponent, who brought a wonderful performance and achieved victory! It's not the way you're familiar with me and the way I play, but I'll be back with a stronger stance, as I always have! I hope to arrange the triple battle as soon as possible! Hope to meet you as soon as possible, thank you for your support! ”
Marat's desire to fight Su Bobang three times is understandable, after all, the two are currently tied 1-1, and judging from the direction of the past two matches, Subobang has completed revenge, but he is very jealous of Marat's heavy punch. Malate did not lose in absolute strength, but in tactical misplacement and lack of preparation. Considering that Marat had previously withdrawn from the semi-finals of the eight-man tournament due to COVID-19 and did not have sufficient preparation time, it was likely that this time he would not be in the best condition. It is believed that Marat will return with a stronger posture when he is fully prepared.
But Marat's desire to arrange a three-pronged battle with Subobang as soon as possible is obviously unrealistic, as Subobang's opponent for the next match has already been determined, that is, the featherweight kickboxing world eight-man champion Chinjiz Arazov. After "ONE:X", Arazov rose three places in a row to the top of the featherweight kickboxing list by successfully revengeing Sittychai, while Marat dropped one place in the rankings, followed by him. In third place in the featherweight kickboxing category is "Doctor" George Petosio, many boxing fans want to see Marat and George play, but George was kicked in the jaw during the match against Subobang, and it is difficult to return to the field in a short period of time. Then in the top five list, the only choices in front of Marat are Sidiko, who ranks fourth, and Taifan Hoskan, the fifth-ranked "viper".
Topically, sittychai's six-legged battle with Marat will definitely excite boxing fans. The two have played a total of 5 times in the past, with Sittchai winning the first four, and Marat successfully revengeing Sittychai in the 5th matchup, becoming Glory Lightweight World Champion. Such a cross-gut battle is extremely rare in the history of martial arts, and Marat has constantly "evolved" in the competition with Sytichai, changing from a single boxing master to an all-round player with a combination of fists and legs, and gradually forcing Sytichai into a desperate situation. Sitychai's victory became more and more difficult until Marat staged a counterattack in the Five Battles.
Both Sittychai and Marat lost a crucial match on March 26, and both need a gold-laden victory to regain their place. Do you think they're going to stage six battles in a cage? If they meet, who will be the winner?
