As the twin stars of China's kickboxing scene, Wei Rui and Qiu Jianliang have always been in the spotlight of fans. In 2021, Qiu Jianliang landed in ONE Championship and made his debut against Japan's Akimoto Haogui, and the two sides fought for three rounds, and after knocking Akimoto down Akimoto several times, Qiu Jianliang finally lost on points. After the game, Qiu Jianliang officially announced the recurrence of his old injury and has not been in the ring again, leaving a lot of regret for domestic fans. Now, Wei Rui has announced that he has signed with ONE Championship, and his opponent is still Akimoto Haogui, which has excited many fans, because many fans hope that Wei Rui can defeat Akimoto Haogui and help Qiu Jianliang get revenge.
Compared with the strength of the two sides, Wei Rui has an advantage over Akimoto Haogui in terms of technology and field control. After all, it is impossible to defeat three opponents in a row in Japan and win the K-1 world championship without hard power. What's even more convincing is that Wei Rui has won many famous battles, even former featherweight world No. 1 Peparnon, who was defeated by his men. On Akimoto's side, his advantage lies in physical fitness. I believe that friends who have watched Qiu Jianliang's match with Qiu Yuan Haogui should be deeply impressed by Qiu Yuan Haogui's physical fitness, Qiu Jianliang's punches and legs can't beat Qiu Yuan Haogui at all.
Considering Qiu Jianliang's previous defeat, if Wei Rui wants to defeat Qiu Yuan Haogui, the most important thing he should strengthen is to resist the attack. Akimoto is not so usual on a technical level, but his leg sweep is still not to be underestimated. As long as Wei Rui can withstand Qiu Yuan Haogui's leg sweep, then with his skill level, Qiu Yuan Haogui is not Wei Rui's opponent. Finally, to talk about my personal prediction for this match, the result of the game may be Wei Rui's point victory over Akimoto Haogui.
