Jake Peacock assesses his game plan for sneakily dangerous Shinji Suzuki
Jake Peacock believes he can make Shinji Suzuki his 12th career knockout victim when they cross paths at ONE 171. Still, that confidence is also telling 'The One' not to underestimate the 39-year-old Fujimakick Muay Thai Gym representative.
Speaking exclusively with Sportskeeda MMA, the Dunamis Muay Thai athlete promised he would remain wary of Suzuki's offense while sticking to his high-pressure style:
"Though I've said that it would be difficult to find holes in his game, I'm not going to underestimate what he brings to the ring. He's experienced, and I know a couple of things might surprise me."
