“It's not going to be me getting knocked out” - Johan Ghazali eager to test undefeated Johan Estupinan’s chin at ONE 170

While Johan Estupinan's striking skills are no doubt exemplary, his next opponent Johan Ghazali believes his chin remains untested.

'Panda Kick' remains unblemished in 26 career fights, with his last four victories coming against top-notch competition in the home of martial arts. However, Ghazali noticed that the dynamic striker from Colombia has been tagged in all those battles and leaves himself wide open a lot of times.

Speaking during the ONE 170 press conference, the Malaysian-American prodigy questioned Estupinan's durability, claiming his chin won't hold up once he feels the destructive power of his strikes:

"I think Estupinan is fast, but timing beats speed, and precision beats power. So I feel like one thing about Estupinan is he's been getting rocked in almost every single fight. So I feel like if we were to go toe-to-toe, it's not going to be me getting knocked out."

The Ghazali versus Estupinan three-round flyweight Muay Thai showdown is one of the most anticipated matches at ONE 170, happening this Friday at Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

Styles do make fights, and judging by the chaos these two bring, the judges likely won't be needed for this one.

We'll soon find out if Johan Ghazali can derail Estupinan's hype train at ONE 170. The full event will air live in Asian Primetime on Jan. 24 via watch.onefc.com.
