Jonathan Haggerty plans a rough night for Superlek: "I think it's going to be difficult for him"

As for the double champ himself, 'The General' Jonathan Haggerty is confident he can even the score with Thai rival 'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9 at ONE 168: Denver.

Haggerty and Superlek first met in 2018 in the Englishman's own backyard in the United Kingdom. Superlek ended up winning via doctor's stoppage after busting Haggerty wide open with a cut.

This time, 'The General' says it won't be as easy for the Thai star. He said on his YouTube channel:

"Now we're both in our prime. And the key factor for this fight is the four-ounce gloves, you know. My main strikes are from punching, I think it's going to be difficult for him."
