Nicolas shocked the combat sports world when he ended the Surinamese star라이브 바카라 dominant run to claim the ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Title in April, but Eersel wants redemption in their rematch live in U.S. primetime this Friday, October 4.바카라 웹사이트

Their first five-round clash delivered action and excitement from start to finish, with an early knockdown the only thing separating them. Now fans can’t wait to see how things play out in the return leg바카라 웹사이트at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.바카라 웹사이트

More familiar with each other라이브 바카라 skill sets than ever before,바카라 웹사이트this matchup could be바카라 웹사이트even more closely contested. That said, here are Nicolas and Eersel라이브 바카라바카라 웹사이트keys to victory ahead of their second meeting.바카라 웹사이트

Nicolas’ Low Kicks바카라 웹사이트

Nicolas laid his foundations with a heavy low kick assault in the opening round of their initial clash.

“Barboza” landed 25 significant low kicks in the first three minutes and 53 overall, adding plenty of points to his scorecards and accruing significant damage on his foe.바카라 웹사이트

By making sure to attack the lead leg every time Eersel stepped in to punch, the Frenchman managed to stem the flow of strikes and keep “The Immortal” at bay.바카라 웹사이트

The low kicks disrupted Eersel라이브 바카라 attacks and often knocked him off balance, meaning his combinations weren’t as effective.바카라 웹사이트

As Nicolas took his foot off the gas with this line of offense, the former king grew stronger and dictated more of the action. So, “Barboza” should keep going to the well with them throughout all five rounds this time around.바카라 웹사이트

Eersel라이브 바카라 Relentless Pressure바카라 웹사이트

Eersel라이브 바카라 best moments in the first fight came when he was able to close the distance and start unleashing his volleys of punches.바카라 웹사이트

Though it took him some time to break through, the Sityodtong Amsterdam man grew in volume and confidence to make things extremely close by the end of the final frame.바카라 웹사이트

By putting Nicolas on the back foot this time, “The Immortal” will limit his rival라이브 바카라 ability to land low kicks and present more opportunities to land his big shots.바카라 웹사이트

Eersel라이브 바카라 combination striking is hard to keep up with, and his conditioning means he can continue to push the pace – something Nicolas struggled with in the first match.바카라 웹사이트

But “The Immortal” can’t be reckless as he charges in because he now knows his foe packs serious power in his hands.바카라 웹사이트

Nicolas’ Counters바카라 웹사이트

Few can handle Eersel on a tear, but Nicolas had success when he stood his ground and believed in his counters.바카라 웹사이트

“Barboza라이브 바카라” chin never faltered and in round two he planted his feet and replied to a jab with a crunching overhand right that put the dominant lightweight king on the canvas.바카라 웹사이트

Again, this is another tool that Nicolas could use in the rematch to make “The Immortal” think twice about blitzing forward in his usual marauding style.바카라 웹사이트

Although it라이브 바카라 not wise to stand in front of his rival all of the time, if Barboza can mix in heavy counters with lateral movement and some savvy ringcraft, he’ll be able to keep Eersel guessing about the best way to attack.바카라 웹사이트

Going straight backward and getting caught on the ropes could be disastrous, so he has to punish his foe for entering or use his footwork to reset out in the open.바카라 웹사이트

Eersel라이브 바카라 Knees바카라 웹사이트

As Eersel grew into the last match, he began to back Nicolas up more often to unload on him.바카라 웹사이트

While the Frenchman라이브 바카라 defense held up and he absorbed the punches well, “The Immortal” found ways through with his stepping and jumping knees.바카라 웹사이트

He likes to hit his opponents with hooks to have them shell up and then drive his knees to the body through the middle.바카라 웹사이트

Given Eersel라이브 바카라 supreme conditioning and non-stop pressure, this will add up throughout five rounds and help to fatigue “Barboza.”바카라 웹사이트

If the body knees are money in the bank for the championship rounds, then his jumping knees are the potential highlight finish.바카라 웹사이트

While they’re a smaller part of his output, Eersel can fly into headshots with ease due to his long frame, and it only takes one knee to put an opponent on the canvas.바카라 웹사이트
