‘Demolition Man’ stated:
“His weak point is that he can’t take many hits. He’s very good at hitting, but when it comes to defending himself, protecting himself, he’s not so good.”
Needless to say, defeating Jonathan Haggerty is a tall order, but Felipe Lobo is definitely up to the task.
‘Demolition Man’ Felipe Lobo not underestimating defending champion Jonathan Haggerty
If there’s anything Felipe Lobo won’t do, it’s not to underestimate Jonathan Haggerty. Lobo understands that Haggerty is the toughest opponent he will have faced to date, and as such, the Brazilian firecracker has done his due diligence and studied ‘The General’s fighting style.
Lobo added in the same interview with ONE Championship.
“He knows how to use his boxing very well. He moves forward all the time and kicks very well. Furthermore, he has good feints that I need to pay attention to so as not to be surprised. But I believe his strong point is his speed. He moves very well.”
