"I got a point to prove" - Jonathan Haggerty says megafight with Superlek will go down to who 'copes' better
Two-sport world champion Jonathan Haggerty believes that his megafight with Superlek Kiatmoo9 will go down to who copes better with the pressure at ONE 168: Denver.
The British superstar has a surmountable amount of experience participating in high-stakes fights. Whether it's fighting 'The Iron Man' Rodtang twice for the flyweight Muay Thai world title to defeating long-reigning world champions like Nong-O Hama and Fabricio Andrade - Haggerty excels in high-pressure environments.
Since both Haggerty and Superlek are evenly matched, the UK striker believes that the difference maker will be who can stay better committed to their goals when adversity hits.
On his vlog on YouTube, Haggerty said:
"I got a point to prove. He's got a point to prove. But I've got revenge on my mind. I'm looking forward to see how he copes."

'The General' is without a doubt the real deal. So far, he's accomplished mostly everything that he has set out to do. If Haggerty can pull off another upset victory over one of Muay Thai's most distinguished strikers, then Haggerty will perhaps be considered the greatest pound-for-pound striker in the world.
