Eddie Abasolo says he wants to finish Mohamed Younes Rabah with a vicious body knockout
Before Younes Rabah and Eddie Abasolo exchange strikes inside the ring, the 37-year-old Filipino-American appeared on 4oz to Freedom for an interview, where he revealed that he wanted to target the body of Younes Rabah for a potential knockout finish.
According to Abasolo, the pain is more felt on the body by his opponent when a match ends with a body shot, as he explained:
"If I could write the script, preferably, I would like to end it to the body. Because when you end it with a body shot they're still conscious and, you know. But to the body, to the head, to the leg, it doesn't matter to me. Whatever he gives me, I'll take it."
ONE 169 is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
