Reigning and undisputed ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon of Thailand is all geared up for his highly anticipated rematch with ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai this weekend.
Like any good fighter, Superbon has done his due diligence and not only worked his tail off in the gym, but also studied Tawanchai extensively.
Now, the 34-year-old Thai veteran believes he has figured out Tawanchai's game and knows his younger's opponent's biggest advantage is his age.
Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Superbon talked about why Tawanchai's youth could be a factor in their much-anticipated matchup.

The Superbon Training Camp proponent said:
"For me, I think he has one advantage as he’s younger, and he can recover faster. In that one minute break, he’d recover faster than I do because I’m older."
Needless to say, Superbon will be looking to bank on his experience to trump any advantage Tawanchai has with his youth.
It all comes to a head this weekend when the two hit the Thai capital.
