“One foreigner who could beat Rodtang” - Liam Harrison says Savvas Michael has the skills to beat the Thai phenom

'The Hitman' Liam Harrison has been at the top of the Muay Thai world for a very long time, and he knows the game and recognizes talent. The upcoming ONE bantamweight Muay Thai title challenger recently spoke about the fight between Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Savvas Michael.

Michael and the Muay Thai phenom Rodtang are both highly skilled strikers. They'll compete to try to win and earn a place in the finals of the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix when they fight at ONE on Prime Video 1.

The 36-year-old Harrison offered his opinion on this matchup when he spoke to SCMP MMA in an interview. The British striker said:

"I honestly don't know. I can't call that fight. I mean, again, people are writing Savvas off, but I think [if] there's one foreigner who could beat Rodtang, it is possibly Savvas. But again, Rodtang is an absolute beast."

Catch the full interview below:

It will be a highly tense matchup when Rodtang and Savvas meet. Both are hungry for victory and bring tons of Muay Thai experience. Given the stakes, Harrison struggled to make a pick in this fight.

"I honestly don't know. Obviously, most people are going to pick Rodtang. But Savvas is my friend, and I really want him to win. But with Rodtang, it's a different story. So it'd be an interesting one because Savvas has leveled up a lot. But Rodtang is an absolute animal. So I don't know."
