Recently, according to foreign media K1ckboxingNews, Japan's biggest kickboxing star player and K-1 WGP champion Takeru announced that he hopes to duel with the ONE champion Flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon, and Luo Tang's response is not only unexpected but also meaningful.
In the face of Wu Zun's declaration of war, Luo Tang said that he was very willing to accept the challenge, but the premise was to stay away from the Japanese referee.
Undoubtedly, this was due to the controversy between Rotang and Tenshin Nasukawa in 2018. At that time, Luo Tang first stepped on the Japanese arena against this Japanese martial arts genius with a record of total victory, and the two fought bloodily for five rounds without winning or losing, and finally won by unanimous judgment in the overtime game. But both the Rotang team and many martial arts fans believe that the first five rounds have been divided into winners and losses, and the victory should belong to Rotang.
In the game, Luo Tang used his super strong resistance to resist the dense combination of punches, and always suppressed Nasugawa Tenshin. Although favored by the referee, the young Japanese genius also cried on the spot, obviously not satisfied with his performance, and it was in that game that Rotang's nickname of "Iron Man" was famous.
After the game, Luo Tang also expressed his dissatisfaction with the penalty many times, but unfortunately, the two men's double battle was never promoted for various reasons. This time, Luo Tang also expressed his desire for a second match again, saying: "I am very willing to fight with Nasugawa Tenshin for revenge, I am sure I won the first game, I injured him in the fourth leg, he looks tired, I also think I won the overtime game." ”
Regarding Takezun's invitation to fight, Luo Tang said: "I would like to duel with Takezun, it will be a great battle, but since the match with Nasugawa Tenshin, I know that if the battle takes place in Japan, I will not be able to win by judgment." ”
In fact, Wu Zun as a signed player to the K-1 WGP, and Luo Tang as a signed player in the ONE Championship, the two have a hard time getting a chance to compete, and Luo Tang also admitted this, he said: "I want to facilitate this game is difficult, but I am very happy to fight him in the ONE Championship so that we can see who is the best person." ”
Of course, everyone wants to see Rotang, who is now the world champion of the ONE Championship, face off against Japan's two biggest kickboxing kings, but for now, Rotang's primary goal is to prepare for a crossover battle with demetrious Johnson, the legendary "Hercules" of mixed martial arts.
The two will play a "Muay Thai + MMA" mixed-rules match at "ONE X" on December 5, while Rotang recently contracted the coronavirus, so he missed the opportunity to play in the grand kickboxing event "ONE: One Hit into the Soul". At present, Luo Tang has just recovered and entered training, and it is not known how much the new crown condition will affect his physical condition, but the duel between the two players who represent the top level of their respective fields will definitely make the game full of suspense and passion.
