Reigning and undisputed ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon of Thailand may be giving up years of age and youth to ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai this weekend.
But the 34-year-old veteran believes he has something his 25-year-old counterpart simply does not have just yet -- more experience.
Superbon and Tawanchai are heading into a highly anticipated rematch in Bangkok on Friday, and the veteran athlete has already mapped out his advantages and disadvantages over the young champion.

The Superbon Training Camp representative told ONE Championship in a recent interview:
"While I have an advantage in my experience, skills, preciseness, and knowing when to tone things up and down, with the more experience I have, I do have an advantage over him, from saving my energy, and the sharper skills. That’s what I think I have an advantage in. Meanwhile, Tawanchai has an advantage in the faster recovery speed because of his younger age."
Needless to say, fans will be tuning in intently this weekend as these two warriors battle it out for divisional supremacy.
