I was doom scrolling at 3am the night of the fight and caught it right as it started, it was absolutely riveting. One of the best pairings in the sport and your analysis is spot on.Takeru is such a fantastic boxing-led kickboxer but his style was nullified by Superlek's perfect planning.
That low kick threatened so much that the jab was 90% of all he needed to take Takeru to the cleaners.
Takeru has 100% fighting spirit.
I was ultra impressed with Superlek's adjustment into the knee, to avoid fouls.
The only chance Takeru could ever have would be to up the pace even higher and walk through more to keep a greater punch volume. Easier said than done though.
Yeah was a great fight. Both Takeru are incredibly skilled and tough.Takeru is such a fantastic boxing-led kickboxer but his style was nullified by Superlek's perfect planning.

Superlek broke Rodtangs hand/forearm and Takeru's leg back to back. What a insane kicker. Takeru almost had him in the 3rd but the leg kicks/being shop worn most likely took away his gas.
Superlek was great but the most surprising thing of the fight was Takeru hurting Superlek two times with his kicks. They both did their best and were near to finish their opponent. This may become an iconic fight, and I am not so sure about Rodtang vs Takeru being better than this.Superlek put on one of the most disciplined performances you'll ever watch. He couldn't miss with his jab and low kick. The step in knees were just beautiful. This performance belongs in
