I love Kongsuk - Yodlekpet. Yod is one of my favourites but stylistically i think he may be up against it with Kong. The problem I see for Yod is he sometimes seems to be willing to wait for perfect opportunities, as short as he is he doesn't put in-your-face pressure on and against Kong who controls distance so well I think that is a bad recipe. As heavy and accurate as Yod's hands are, not too many people are going to want to exchange with him and I don't think Kong will be any different, he'll look to fight mostly at kicking range and behind the jab. I'd love to see Yod go against his usual style and come out aggressive- Kong is far more vulnerable if he is made to come out and chase the fight on the front foot, if Yod could win the first round and do well early in the 2nd and have Kong coming at him he would have far more opportunities with the hands. Pains me to say but I think Kong takes this from the outside, I mean if Yod can maybe hurt Kong's legs early or do enough to make him chase the fight its a totally different ballgame but I just feel Kong will be able to dictate the distance and tempo.
I fucken love Rambong, absolutely love the dude, 126lbs of pure fucken badass. That time when Petphupa wobbled him with a massive round kick right under his ear/on his jawline, and Rambong just fucken stormed right at him, just fucken got right in the pocket, jerked his head about (it was literally like how you move your head when you're drunk or half-concussed and you know you just have to move your head, it just looks ragged as fuck) and threw the kitchen sink at Pet, fists elbows knees the absolute works, that was one of the most badass moments in the whole of OFF since it started. Rambong gets portrayed as a total all-out slugger and he is very explosive with the hands and the aggressive combinations but he's a tiny bit more subtle than that, he's a decent counterpuncher with the left hand and in his last fight against the Myanmar dude, he absolutely scorched the dude's body with his left kick which to me was the deciding factor in that fight.
Longern is a nice style match for him, he is pretty technical but the Irvine fight showed he could sustain a lot of punishment so I'm not sure Rambong will stop him, he's got a really nice left kick if he can maintain distance and his hands are pretty sharp and crisp even if he doesn't seem a banger. I think Rambong will end up just basically out-fighting him by, well, by being fucken Rambong, but Longern has the technical tools to land plenty as lets face it Rambong will be there to be hit.
Teeyai doesn't seem to get too much fanfare from One considering he is 4-2 (3ko) has a couple of spectacular KO's and is always in good fights
