Indian flower arm beauty not only dominates the boxing field, but also becomes the "KO queen" of mixed martial arts
When it comes to Indian girls, few people associate them with the fighting arena, and the appearance of "KO Queen" Asha Rocca is eye-catching. The Indian girl with beautiful tattoos on her arms was once an Indian boxing champion and was known as the "Queen of KO". Now she wants to make a name for herself in mixed martial arts. She will play U.S. TWC champion Alice Anderson in ONE157 on May 20.
Asha's dad is a sports enthusiast and her brother is a boxer, and Asha showed her talent when she first walked into a boxing gym at the age of 11. "I did well on my first day of training, the coach invited me to practice in the boxing gym and that's when my boxing career started." Asha won gold at the Indian National Boxing Championships and bronze at the 2013 Women's World Boxing Championships in Bulgaria, a great achievement in the history of Indian women's boxing. "Winning a medal at the World Championships is a very important thing. I was the only Indian athlete to win a medal at the time. ”
Unlike many skilled boxers, Asha has great KO powers. In the boxing ring, Asa won all 7 games, and the fastest boxing match she used only 7 seconds to KO opponents. "When I get into the ring, I want to hit the opponent hard. Maybe my fist was too strong and they were quickly knocked down. ”
With a strong fist, Asha came to the mixed martial arts arena and won 4 games, all of which ended in 1 round, with a total time of only 4 minutes and 11 seconds, including two KO and two surrenders. It is worth mentioning that she only took 9 seconds to KO her opponent in her first mixed martial arts match. "It was the first game of my career. At that time, I was full of passion and wanted to win at all costs, completely unaware of how rich the technique required for MMA. ”
Asha made her debut in "One Championship: The Golden Age", when she played against the then atomic weight kickboxing and Muay Thai double world champion Staples, and although she lost the match, it also allowed Asha to learn a lot from it. After being surrendered by Stamp after three rounds of naked hanging, Asha also lost to Gina Inion, and after realizing her shortcomings, she began to "make up lessons".
She trained with one championship boxer Hemansu Kosik and Whirlwind Puha Tomar. Asha teaches them how to punch, and they help Asha practice kicking and wrestling. "We train together as long as we have time. I have good boxing skills, so I tell them how to punch. Their kicks and wrestling techniques are better, and they taught me these techniques. We share our experiences with each other. ”
Asha, who returned to the cage, is more comprehensive, hoping to win the first victory of the cage. "My boxing background doesn't mean I'm not good at ground technique. How I fight depends on my opponents. If my opponent was a Brazilian jiu-jitsu expert, I would stand with her and fight. If my opponent is not familiar with the ground, I will use jiu-jitsu against her. ”
