This time, the titleholder was able to see Superbon라이브 바카라 attacks more clearly and make the proper adjustments on his way to the finish.
Afterward, Tawanchai explained that he sensed his rival was primarily focused on counter-striking:
“I believe that Superbon prepared himself very well for this fight. I took the first round to feel the situation, to see what kind of game plan Superbon had brought for me, and I knew that he was trying to rely on counter-attacks. He tried to counter back after I kicked or punched him.”
While the first three minutes of the bout were closely contested, Tawanchai quickly took over in the second round. Once he identified Superbon라이브 바카라 game plan, he made the intelligent tactical adjustment to meet his foe라이브 바카라 counter-attacks with counters of his own.

“I remember after we finished that last fight, I went back, and I was under a lot of pressure from online [critics], and I didn’t talk to anyone for weeks. It라이브 바카라 safe to say that I lost my fire back then.
“But then, I thought to myself, ‘These are just words. I only have to do better. I have to train harder.’ And now this time, I was able to prove that I am better.”

“My next dream is to get the kickboxing belt, and I want to become a two-sport World Champion. Some people are still talking down to me right now, but I will prove to everyone that I can get that belt.”
