On the other hand, Grigorian might not have the world title around his waist, but the Armenian striker has showcased one-punch knockout power that can upset any elite names in the weight division.
As fight night fast approaches, Fabricio Andrade feels that the challenger should try to implement more of his explosive and powerful style if he wants to make it to the pinnacle of his career.
Speaking to ONE Championship, ‘Wonder Boy’ said:
“You know he’s not so much of a kicker. He uses a lot of his boxing, and he comes forward, but his main strength is his power. He believes in his power. And he always comes forward trying to knock his opponent down.”
