This coming Thursday, February 20, the Canadian-British sensation will return for his sophomore appearance in the world라이브 바카라 largest martial arts organization when he takes on Japan라이브 바카라 in a bantamweight Muay Thai scrap.
A former Road to ONE: Canada winner, Peacock made waves in his much-anticipated promotional debut last April at , dominating over the course of three action-packed rounds.
That victory proved he belongs among the planet라이브 바카라 best strikers. It also gave him loads of confidence as he prepares to step up in competition against the dangerous and experienced Suzuki.
Peacock told :
“I’m not underestimating Shinji at all. I completely respect any man who stands across from me. Everyone라이브 바카라 dangerous, especially in 4-ounce gloves on the world라이브 바카라 stage. Shinji has been in there against very high-level opposition.
“He라이브 바카라 been in there with guys like and dropped him, too. He라이브 바카라 dangerous. But I’m more dangerous and more dynamic, and I was born for this. I accepted this fight before I even heard his name.”
Although Peacock is missing his right forearm, that doesn’t limit his ability to fight in all phases of Muay Thai.
With that in mind, he라이브 바카라 ready to go toe-to-toe with Suzuki however the matchup plays out, whether that라이브 바카라 trading strikes from long distance or from close range in the clinch.
Ultimately, the 31-year-old expects to overwhelm his foe with offense from the opening bell:
“He라이브 바카라 tough. I think he likes his boxing and his low kicks. I’ll take the fight wherever I want to take it. If I wanna box with him, I will. If he wants to play the kicking game, we can. If he wants to play the tough man game, we can do that, too. Even in the clinch, I’ll be comfortable everywhere.
“Wherever he feels like he라이브 바카라 going to be drowning, that라이브 바카라 where I’m going to take him. I’m hunting for it. You can get someone to tell him that in Japanese because I want him to know this.”
While some might view Peacock라이브 바카라 limb difference as a disability, he said that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Quite the opposite – “The One” believes it라이브 바카라 his destiny to fight on the biggest stages, and that his battle at ONE 171: Qatar is just another opportunity to fulfill that destiny:
“Man, I thrive off of this stuff. I really believe God put me on the planet for this. I’m blessed with an incredible amount of skill in such a unique situation as my own. I believe I belong. I love the lights, the cameras, and I love fighting.”
For Jake Peacock, simply walking away with a victory over Shinji Suzuki won’t be enough. Instead, he wants to deliver a spectacular finish and nothing less.
He said the fans at Lusail Sports Arena in Qatar and those watching live around the world can look forward to fireworks:
“Expect a firefight again. I’ll be bringing the cowboy hat and I’m gonna be gunslinging, baby. I’m gonna put on a great performance for the fans and those watching around the world.
“I’m gonna put this guy out within two rounds. This will not enter the third round, mark my words on that.”
Peacock was proud of his excellent showing in his promotional debut but did feel a twinge of disappointment that he didn’t secure the knockout.
He admits that he might have been having too much fun in an effort to display his dominance. On this occasion, he vows to hunt for a memorable stoppage:
I’m laser-focused. There라이브 바카라 no messing around. Everything is precise. I’m very switched on. This time, I’ve told myself that I’m going to finish the guy. I have to. I don’t do decisions. I’m here for the highlights.”
