level are both key traits that will help him succeed on the international stage.
Fight fans in the UK were introduced to Superlek last year when he blitz Chris
Shaw with elbows in the first round of their fight.
He recently beat the very
tough Muangthai in a fight that cemented his status as one of the best in
Thailand. Hey guys is Stephen here from muaythaipros.com and today I'm gonna
break down why Superlek is one of the best fighters in the world. before I break down Superlek's offense, let's take a look at his next level
defensive skills first. Even though he has fought aggressive fighters like Muangthai, Saeksan, and Pornsanae Superlek has only been stopped once in over a hundred and twenty fights by an elbow cut. To survive against top competition
Superlek has a well-rounded defense that incorporates footwork, head movement, a strong guard and next level defensive timing Let's take a look at how a young
Superlek handles pressure from an aggressive Pornsanae. Notice how Superlek stays calm and composed after Pornsanae lands hard low kicks. Instead of showing fear Superlek raises his hand in defiance, signaling to
his opponent he is ready for war.
This shows his mental toughness and
determination to win. After the first few minutes, Superlek figures out Pornsanae's timing and has no problem blocking the rest of his low kick
combinations Let's take a look at how Superlek does
against Saeksan, a fighter who is known for his relentless attacks. Notice how Superlek keeps a tight guard, with his chin tucked in to ensure he does not get
caught with a knockout punch. Superlek utilizes the jab to keep his opponent at
bay and smothers him in the clinch when his leg is grabbed. As Saeksan attacks, Superlek makes sure he counters with strikes of his own throughout every exchange. As you can see, Superlek has the ability to withstand a flurry of punches and stay
composed throughout the entire exchange When Superlek is matched against the
elbow Master Muangthai, he utilizes his rear leg block with teeps
to keep his opponent from getting inside position.
The ability to control the
distance against an aggressive fighter like Muangthai keeps Superlek from
getting tied up in the clinch and out of his elbow range When facing the very technical Sangmanee, Superlek showcases his ability to block incoming attacks with speed and
precision. Even when he strikes his defense is ready to block any incoming
attack Superlek's speed, quickness, timing and
explosive power making extremely dangerous. Whenever he makes an opponent
miss, he makes them pay with a counter-attack. He has the ability to
flow from defense to offense seamlessly as he trades blows with opponents Superlek's footwork, helps him create
angles to attack and prevents him from being trapped in bad positions. Here he uses a combination of fakes and
footwork to get a better angle to land a right kick. While his body kicks are his bread and butter, Superlek likes to mix in the low kick into his arsenal of attacks He's very good at countering after an opponent
strikes, peppering their leg with a right low kick. If he sees a fighter
off-balance, he will attack their legs he uses a combination of punches and
fakes to set up his low kick attacks One of Superlek's greatest attributes is
his explosive power and speed.
He has the ability to go from zero to a hundred
and a fraction of a second. This explosiveness has allowed him to have
many vicious knockouts against tough competition. As you can see he shows no
mercy when an opening presents itself At only 23 years of age Superlek has
already proven that he is one of the best Muay Thai fighters in the world. Keep
