"I always fight to avoid my opponent's weapons" - Superlek will try his best to be out of harm's way vs. Kongthoranee
Superlek Kiatmoo9 discussed the simplicity of his game plan heading into his fights. Over the last three years, 'The Kicking Machine' has been unbeatable under the ONE Championship banner in kickboxing and Muay Thai.
The ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion's ongoing win streak includes wins against Panpayak Jitmuangnon (Muay Thai), Takeru Segawa (kickboxing), and Rodtang Jitmuangnon (Muay Thai).
During the ONE Friday Fights 68 virtual press conference, he was asked about his upcoming matchup against Kongthoranee on Friday.
The 28-year-old Thai megastar had this to say about maintaining a simple game plan for his fights:
"For every fight, I always fight to avoid my opponent's weapons, especially my opponent's hands. This is always my plan."
ONE Friday Fights 68 features Superlek vs. Kongthoranee (non-title flyweight Muay Thai) in the co-main event and Prajanchai vs. Jonathan Di Bella (vacant strawweight kickboxing world title) in the main event.
Friday's event goes down inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
ONE Friday Fights 68 features a seven-fight pay-per-view main card, including the previously mentioned fights, which can be purchased here.
Superlek faces added pressure against Kongthoranee at ONE Friday Fights 68
Superlek has fought many world-class fighters throughout his legendary career.
Kongthoranee may not have the same level of skills as the ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion's last two opponents (Rodtang and Takeru Segawa), but 'The Kicking Machine' can't overlook his ONE Friday Fights 68 opponent.
Heading into Friday's event, Kongthoranee holds a promotional record of 8-1, including a seven-fight win streak.
Regardless of the result, Superlek must prevent significant damage, as he has another fight booked shortly.
On Sept. 6, the Kiatmoo9 Gym warrior has an opportunity to become a two-sport world champion at ONE 168: Denver. 'The Kicking Machine' must be ready for one of his toughest tests to date, as he challenges Jonathan Haggerty for the latter's ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title.
ONE 168 goes down inside the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, representing the promotion's return to North America.
