"The One" plans to overwhelm his foe with offense at ONE Fight Night 28.
The iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok will soon play host to a battle for American Muay Thai supremacy, as California natives and promotional newcomer are set to throw down in a flyweight scrap at .
That matchup will air live in U.S. primetime on Friday, February 7, and will mark the third encounter between the two strikers.
A veteran of two entertaining battles in the world라이브 바카라 largest martial arts organization, Climaco spoke to about his previous fights against Paez.
Given their history, he said fans can expect a barnburner:
“The first fight, I won by TKO. The second fight, he fought a little bit differently. He actually caught me with a spinning elbow at the end of the first round, which I felt like should have been a flash knockdown because I got up really fast as the bell rang, and then the ref gave me an eight-count. If I didn’t get that eight-count, I would have won the fight. That second fight ended up being a draw.
“This [third fight] is something that him and I have been like itching for over the last five years. It라이브 바카라 something he wants, something I want, and it라이브 바카라 gonna be an exciting fight, especially for American Muay Thai.”
Climaco believes that his experience under ONE라이브 바카라 bright lights in small-gloved Muay Thai will be a key factor against Paez.
“The One” understands firsthand just how dangerous punches can be in 4-ounce gloves. He won his promotional debut by way of highlight-reel knockout but then suffered a knockout loss to undefeated Colombian phenom in his next appearance.
Climaco thinks he’ll surprise Paez with the power he carries in small gloves. Even if he can’t score the knockout, he plans to apply a torrid pace for nine minutes:
“I don’t think he라이브 바카라 gonna be ready to take the damage I’ll bring, especially with the small gloves. It라이브 바카라 a different ball game with the small gloves. I’ve experienced getting hit with them in my last fight.
“It could be a dominant decision or a knockout. It라이브 바카라 only gonna be three rounds, so he라이브 바카라 not gonna have any chance to breathe in those three rounds. It라이브 바카라 gonna be at fast-paced, three-round fight.”
While the 30-year-old is focused on defeating Paez at ONE Fight Night 28, he라이브 바카라 also thrilled to be sharing the ring with a fellow Californian.
Considering the horrific wildfires that have ripped through the state, Climaco hopes that he and Paez can put on a show for their community:
“We could say that this fight is for California. We’re showing that California is strong and we’re all gonna get through this together.”
After a sensational ONE debut in which he hardly broke a sweat, Sean Climaco was disappointed to suffer a defeat in his sophomore appearance.
Looking back on his wild back-and-forth brawl with Johan Estupinan at , he said he learned plenty from the loss.
Both athletes scored knockdowns, but “The One” believes his own refusal to back down from a brawl – even when he was dazed – ultimately cost him the fight:
“What I learned was I don’t have to go into a firefight like that. I mean, I’m still gonna try to make the fight exciting, but if you’re ever rocked or hurt, then you should try to slow things down, learn how to calm down, and take your time to recover.
“I’m learning to take my time. Not every minute of the fight needs to be a firefight. It doesn’t need to be chaos the whole time.”
Ultimately, the CSA Gym representative is confident that he’ll take the lessons learned against Estupinan and apply them against Diego Paez on February 7.
With that in mind, he said Paez will be caught off-guard by how much he라이브 바카라 evolved:
“I now know how to stay composed and I’ve been definitely working on my defense, too. It라이브 바카라 gonna be a different fight, especially from the last two fights we’ve had.”
