Wei Rui said: Even if Akimoto Haogui wins against Tyson, it will be zero for him. Today is May 1, 2024, and there are only 3 days left before the match between Wei Rui and Akimoto Haogui. The discussion of this match among fans is also becoming more and more enthusiastic, because Akimoto Haogui defeated Qiu Jianliang, although the result of that match is a bit controversial, but many fans are optimistic about Akimoto Haogui's victory over Wei Rui. But the personal opinion is that Wei Rui may defeat Akimoto Haogui. On the one hand, it's because the two of them play a little restrained, Akimoto Haogui's style of play is tough, the kind that fights directly with you, and Wei Rui mainly controls the field, and he is very good at controlling the rhythm of others.
Therefore, once Qiu Yuan Haogui's attack does not work, then Wei Rui is likely to defeat Qiu Yuan Haogui by points. The second aspect is, I think it is very important to see the timing of the match between the two, if you look at the resumes of the two men, Hiroki Akimoto last played in November 2022, and it has been a year and a half since then. And Wei Rui's last game was in April 2023, which is a year away. So in terms of competitive state, maybe Wei Rui is a little better than Qiu Yuan Haogui. Because the longer an athlete is away from the ring, the more unstable his competitive state becomes.
Just like when Qiu Jianliang was away from the ring for two years and then entered the ONE Championship ring, when he stepped into the ring, he just didn't perform as well as he did at his peak, and no one can change the fact. Therefore, judging from the length of time he has been away from the ring, Akimoto Haogui is not as good as Wei Rui. And what can even explain this point is that Akimoto Haogui consulted the famous Japanese player Mofu Dou before the game, and Bube Gongya, who knocked out Wei Rui. Because he felt that Wei Rui was a threat to him, he felt the pressure. Of course, from another point of view, Wei Rui once went to Japan and won the Japanese K-1 world championship, and was praised by fans as Dongying's nemesis. I hope that in the game on May 4, Wei Rui can defeat Akimoto Haogui and win this game.
