"We're here to exploit them" - Superlek says he's figured out Jonathan Haggerty's weaknesses ahead of ONE 168 headliner
Jonathan Haggerty is looking confident ahead to his upcoming super fight with ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 for the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title for the main event of ONE 168: Denver on Sept. 6.
The two striking superstars will go head-to-head inside the Ball Arena in Colorado, and in a recent Instagram post by ONE Championship, Haggerty has stated that he will expose the weaknesses of Superlek as he said:
"We know what his weaknesses are. He likes his right side - his kicks, his elbows. We're here to exploit them on September 6."
Apart from fending off the challenge of 'The Kicking Machine,' 'The General' is also seeking revenge after the Thai megastar handed him a TKO defeat during their first meeting in 2018 outside of the promotion.
During that match, Superlek opened a massive cut on Haggerty's face, forcing the doctor to stop the fight.
Jonathan Haggerty shares secret for his fortified mindset whenever he fights
With the stacked achievements and accolades that Haggerty has bagged, one would think that his physical preparation in training propels him to win fights constantly.
But in a recent chat with Sky Sports before his upcoming match, the Keddles Gym, Knowlesy Academy, and Team Underground representative revealed that his strong mindset is a big part of the success that he has today, as he stated:
"Yeah, 100 percent [my mindset has to be strong for this fight]. You should never doubt yourself. You need to go in there with a mindset that, you can't be beaten, and you won't be beaten. Just a bulletproof mindset, really. And I'll do fine."
