Malaysian star Johan Ghazali is currently undecided when it comes to who would come out victorious in the headliner of ONE 168: Denver, Jonathan Haggerty or Superlek.
The 17-year-old prodigy knows that the two are among the sports' legends, with Haggerty holding the two-sport ONE world champion status and Superlek ruling the flyweight kickboxing division.
Hence, Ghazali's only plan is to enjoy the barnburner main event between the two striking superstars after he faces his own challenge in Josue Cruz on Sept. 6.
When he sat with South China Morning Post in a recent interview, the teenage phenom shared his analysis on Haggerty vs. Superlek:

"It’s hard to say. Because Haggerty, he’s knocked out Nong-O. He has the power, he has the versatility. But Superlek, you saw what happened to Haggerty in their last fight. The only thing I see that Haggerty has to his advantage is [early acclimatization to elevation]."
But, 'Jojo' added:
"I don’t know, I don’t want to call anything. Honestly, I’m with Superlek. I’ve trained with him. I’ve seen his technicality, his skills. He’s great. He’s very good."
Tickets for ONE 168: Denver are still available via Ticketmaster.
