‘Wondergirl’ said:
“This fight is a dream fight that people have been waiting for ONE Championship to make happen, no matter the rules – kickboxing or Muay Thai. It’s hard to pick. They’re both tough. I will say that Rodtang has the advantage for this because he hits really hard.
“But recently, Superlek looks completely different, more aggressive. He’s so fast, and he can punch hard. Before, he just had his kicks and technical stuff. Now, he added more aggression. Superlek also has the elbows and good hands. It depends on who gets hit first. They each have a 50-50 chance of winning.”
Originally a battle for Rodtang’s flyweight Muay Thai gold, the bout is now a three-round 140-pound catchweight contest after Superlek failed to make weight on Thursday.
