Lito Adiwang says Jeremy Miado must bank on his 'very big advantage' in striking to outclass Hiroba Minowa

Lito Adiwang explained the "very big advantage" that Jeremy Miado has against his upcoming opponent Hiroba Minowa.

On July 5, ONE Championship will return to the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand for ONE Fight Night 23. Friday's event features several intriguing matchups, including Minowa vs Miado in the ONE strawweight MMA division, as both fighters look to end a three-fight losing streak.

Adiwang, a mainstay in the ONE strawweight MMA division, recently discussed Minowa vs Miado and had this to say about the latter's advantage:

"Miado has a very big advantage in the striking department, and it's all about focusing on connecting and delivering his strikes."

Lito Adiwang has plenty of experience against ONE Fight Night 23's Jeremy Miado and Hiroba Minowa. During his ONE Championship tenure, Adiwang has established a 1-1 record against Miado, with 'Thunder Kid' losing by second-round knockout in March 2022 and winning by unanimous decision in November 2023.

Meanwhile, Miado also fought Minowa in November 2020 at ONE: Inside The Matrix III. The ONE strawweight MMA fighters battled for three rounds, with Minowa emerging victorious by split decision.

Jeremy Miado plans to showcase grappling improvements against Hiroba Minowa

Between November 2019 and October 2022, Jeremy Miado established a four-fight win streak, all by KO/TKO. Unfortunately for him, he's suffered a significant setback in his fighting career by enduring consecutive losses against Mansur Malachiev, Lito Adiwang, and Keito Yamakita.

The recurring theme for Miado's last three fights is his opponents slowing him down with their grappling skills. At ONE Fight Night 23, 'The Jaguar' wants to showcase his grappling improvements and prove he's evolved into a more well-rounded fighter in the strawweight MMA division.

As for Minowa, he's suffered three consecutive decision losses against Jarred Brooks, Bokang Masunyane, and Gustavo Balart (split decision). The 25-year-old enters Friday's event as the number four-ranked fighter at strawweight.

The legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand will host ONE Fight Night 23 later this week. The eleven-fight event can be seen live and for free by North American and Canadian viewers with an active Prime Video subscription.
