Even with his eight-year winning streak snapped, still feels he라이브 바카라 the best lightweight striker on the planet.
The 31-year-old lost his ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Title to last time out, but he라이브 바카라 ready to gain redemption in their U.S. primetime rematch at on Friday, October 4.바카라 웹사이트
Nicolas shocked the world when he dethroned Eersel back in April and ended “The Immortal라이브 바카라” unbeaten run in ONE Championship – and that still stings for the Surinamese striker as he believes his rival is not on the same level.바카라 웹사이트
However, the only way Eersel can back up his assertion is by reclaiming the gold at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.바카라 웹사이트
He told onefc.com:바카라 웹사이트
“I’m more disappointed that I lost to a guy like Alexis. He라이브 바카라 now the World Champion, but he라이브 바카라 not a fighter in his heart. 바카라 웹사이트
“In my way of thinking, he did good. He was smart. He does have my respect by way of intelligence because his strategy was good. But I saw that he라이브 바카라 not a real fighter.바카라 웹사이트
“He came to fight, of course, but the small details, what I saw in his eyes and his body language, he was hurt, and he survived. I could say that he survived.”바카라 웹사이트
Nicolas started strong in their first encounter, scoring with solid low kicks in the first round and then dropping Eersel for an eight-count in the second. 바카라 웹사이트
“The Immortal” stayed true to his moniker after that and came on strong in the remaining rounds, chasing “Barboza” down to try to win the match.
Nicolas got the nod by a fine margin thanks to his knockdown, but that wasn’t enough to convince Eersel that the Frenchman was superior:바카라 웹사이트
“I asked for an immediate rematch because I rewatched the fight with my team and we came to the바카라 웹사이트conclusion that we have to do it again. You cannot win against a champion like that with only a one point difference. And that라이브 바카라 why we asked for the rematch.바카라 웹사이트
“I still believe I’m the best in the world in this division. To lose my streak was difficult, but it gives me the extra spark to show the world – and also to show myself and Alexis – that I’m the better fighter and that I’m the king of the division.”바카라 웹사이트
Eersel Taking Lessons From Nicolas Defeat Into Rematch바카라 웹사이트
Still the ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Champion, Regian Eersel wants to get his kickboxing gold back to become the undisputed king of the weight class once again.바카라 웹사이트
To do that, he라이브 바카라 had to accept accountability for his mistakes last April 5바카라 웹사이트– work he started that very same night by reviewing his performance as soon as he got back to his hotel room.바카라 웹사이트
Reflecting on his errors in the defeat, Eersel said:바카라 웹사이트
“The first round he got me good with the calf kicks. That was a surprise for me. But I was feeling okay. When I felt this power, I was like, ‘I can handle this.’ The only thing was the calf kicks because I never felt that pain before. 바카라 웹사이트
“I started blocking too late and the damage was already done so I think that was the problem of the fight for me.바카라 웹사이트
“In the second round, I got knocked down. I was pressuring him a lot. He caught me with the right hook. The moment I got hit, I was going to my ankle. I fell down. I thought, ‘I’ll stand up quickly and we will continue to fight,’ but the referee started counting. So I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m not going to protest,바카라 웹사이트I got hit,’ but it was not like I was dizzy or something like that.”바카라 웹사이트
Since then, Eersel has been working on fine-tuning his game to make sure that he라이브 바카라 in the best position to reclaim the throne.바카라 웹사이트
He라이브 바카라 made the technical adjustments necessary to achieve a different outcome, but he라이브 바카라 also changed his mindset.바카라 웹사이트
After five years at the top in ONE, “The Immortal” acknowledges that he could have lost some of the drive, but now as a challenger again, it라이브 바카라 returned stronger than ever:바카라 웹사이트
“I’ve learned from this loss. I got my hunger back. After staying on top so many years, you lose a little bit of fire. And I noticed it in the fight when I was hurting him and he was running away, I had the extra fire to go through the pain and put more and more pressure on him.바카라 웹사이트
“So I learned I have more fire inside of me, and I learned I have to think and be smarter than him in the next fight.”바카라 웹사이트
