Rodtang would need to rely on his teeps to keep Takeru at bay. In the pocket Rodtang is far outgunned and much slower then Takeru. Power advantage is clearly in the favor of Takeru. I got Takeru by possible stoppage if I am being honest.
Kickboxing. Well, Takeru...
Is Muay Thai a god-tier style? Yes.
But still, this is kickboxing.
Pace and shot placement all night for Takeru.
I'll even agree with @KID Yamamoto that he could stop Rodtang.
God damn I love this matchup and even considering an impromptu vacation to Japan to watch it lol
He’s out, but in reality he never had a chance to appear. They booked the fight knowing Rodtang needed surgery on his hand but Takeru vs Rodtang will sell more tickets then other matchupsis it true that Rodtang is OUT????
And Superlek is in?
if Takeru is fighting Superlek (only from the rumour-mill??), then I'll equally watch the hell out of it but I was set on a Rodtang showdown.He’s out, but in reality he never had a chance to appear.

He’s been doing that throughout his career and it’s training clipsif Takeru is fighting Superlek (only from the rumour-mill??), then I'll equally watch the hell out of it but I was set on a Rodtang showdown.
Takeru has been thoroughly enjoying his lazy sparring of late. Hands down. Getting clipped plenty in trade sparring. I don't know what to make of that.
Gotcha. I never followed his training before Rodtang was announced. Others pointed out the same. He doesn't seem to take bombs but I wonder how that will affect his retirement years.He’s been doing that throughout his career and it’s training clips
Probably not the best for your brain health, but I doubt Rodtang would be the guy to break his chinGotcha. I never followed his training before Rodtang was announced. Others pointed out the same. He doesn't seem to take bombs but I wonder how that will affect his retirement years.
Either way.
War Takeru.
ABEMA, who are running the PPV in Japan and helping to put on the show haven't been able to contact ONE for two weeks
ONE signed Takeru to break into the Japanese market also Rodtang is the kickboxing champ, maybe he should vacate or Chatri should strip him if making him compete in a sport where he is the champ is such a hassleMust be handy to be able to prepare for 7 months to fight someone in your own country and fight them in a sport which they only occasionaly fight in and are not as good in.
I was talking about Superlek.ONE signed Takeru to break into the Japanese market also Rodtang is the kickboxing champ, maybe he should vacate or Chatri should strip him if making him compete in a sport where he is the champ is such a hassle

My apologies, it’s hard to keep track of ONE’s 6 thousand titles but got confused since he was booked twice for the kickboxing titles before pulling out and is ranked at kickboxing for some reasonRodtang isn't the kickboxing champ, Superlek is.
