"He knows the danger of what he does" - Lito Adiwang predicts how the Rodtang vs Denis Puric slugfest will play out
Lito Adiwang provided his breakdown and prediction for the upcoming kickboxing banger between Rodtang and Denis Puric.
On April 5, Puric won his second consecutive Muay Thai fight with a unanimous decision against Jacob Smith. Following his ONE Fight Night 21 performance, 'The Bosnian Menace' called for a flyweight world title shot against Rodtang in "The Art of Eight Limbs" and received a kickboxing bout against his requested opponent.
Puric and 'The Iron Man' will meet on June 7 at ONE 167 in what could be one of the best fights of the night. During an interview with ONE, strawweight MMA contender Lito Adiwang was asked about the action-packed matchup and had this to say:
"Puric's best attributes are his pressure and power, while Rodtang can do it all and he has better fight IQ. He knows the danger of what he does. I believe Rodtang will KO him."
