'The Bosnian Menace' Denis Puric, who just fought at ONE 157 in a Muay Thai match, commented on the video:
"[Rade Opacic] is a beast he will become world champion mark my words and he will win by KO its what he does best."
Rade Opacic is an impressive kickboxer. He has won all of his bouts in ONE Championship via KO/TKO and is on a four-fight win streak. Ahead of him stands the heavyweight powerhouse Guto Inocente. The Brazilian is on a three-fight win streak and won his last bout with a dominant TKO victory.
The two heavyweight kickboxers are close to the top of the division and will face off at ONE 158.
Rade Opacic is aiming for a knockout at ONE 158
The Serbian kickboxer will look to keep his streak active and add another knockout to his record on Friday. Opacic spoke with ONE Championship and explained:
“It would be best to beat him by KO, and I’m sure that if I hurt him, I’m going to go to finish it. But I’m going to be in the best shape for this fight. If I knock him out, perfect. If we go three rounds, perfect also.”
While Opacic is aiming for a knockout, he is also showing great respect to his Brazilian opponent. He said that his upcoming fight against Inocente would be the biggest win of his career:
“As you know, I fought [Errol] Zimmerman, I fought [reigning light heavyweight king Roman] Kryklia, I fought many big names, but Guto is going to be the biggest name on my list and a big thing for me. He fought in many organizations and nobody could stop him. So it’s going to be good. It’s big opportunity for me, and I’m going to do everything to beat him.”
Opacic and Guto Inocente are to face off on June 3 at ONE 158 at the top of ONE Championship's kickboxing heavyweight division.
