Of these 6 boxers, 4 people were beaten in Grade A, including Nguyen Hoang Thach, Bui Truong Sinh, Pham Ngoc Canh and Tran Minh Nhut. In addition, two boxers Tran Ngoc Dung and Nguyen Vu Phuong Hoai also participated in the B -class competition, promising a vibrant day of Lien Phong dojo and MMA Vietnam village in Ho Chi Minh City.
To prepare for the Lion Championship 05 event, Lien Phong boxers had carefully prepared steps. In all preparations, first is to learn about the opponent. Sharing with Ithethao.vn, boxer Nguyen Hoang Thach has frankly assessed that he will face Nguyen Phu Quy: “My opponent specializes in Muay Thai, so the ability to fight is very good. I have prepared the tactics to overcome the opponent.
If two fighters have the same ability, I can fight. However, I felt that myself was still a bit weaker than the opponent in the fight, so I would divide evenly and a little bit of melee, locked to try to win.
I have a starting point as Karate. This martial art is more about control, mastering the surrounding space, so it is quite different from MMA, which is more about the opponent. Therefore, I have to practice more in Lien Phong to try to match the synthetic pat. ”
Meanwhile, people who had been in the semi -finals last season Pham Ngoc Canh assessed opponent Nguyen Thanh Do: “I have learned about the city. This is a young boxer, my health is still full. Trekking skills are quite good, so I will have to plan with coach Johnny to fight the opponent. I am knowledgeable about trekking, grappling and bjj so I can realize many tactics when confronting this martial artist.
Last year, my goal was to win the belt, so losing in the semi -final was something I was not satisfied. I will try harder this season. In Lien Phong, I am both a boxer and a coach. When the boxers raised their qualifications, I also learned and improved many things to be able to play better. ”
In addition to understanding the opponent, Lien Phong boxers also actively practice to improve their techniques. Close to the competition day, all of these boxers were given effort to participate in cutting the scale. Sharing with Ithethao.vn, a member of Lien Phong's coaching staff revealed, the cutting weight must be applied slowly, for a long time. At the day, there are some unique technical methods, which can give more martial artists, or wear more shirts to increase body temperature. He also said that the martial artists are now accustomed to cutting the weight, so they are no longer surprised and miserable first.
In addition to professional issues, boxers are also fully prepared in the next match. As Tran Minh Nhut shared, he will give up all the work to focus on playing in Lion Championship this year: “Last season, my achievement was not good. This year I was determined to give up all my work, focusing on training, cutting and competing. My goal is to try my best, win the highest position as possible.
60kg is my forte. Last year, in Lien Phong, there were also fighters playing at 60kg, so I just moved to 65kg to play. This year, I returned to my forte.
The 60kg class is very fierce. In addition to the champion Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat, there is Tran Ngoc Luong. However, when I was 60kg weight, I accepted that I would have to face strong opponents. ”
Regarding the upcoming opponent, Minh Nhut rated Trung Hai as a young and healthy boxer. He revealed himself focusing on playing in both standing and fighting in front of these opponents.
Lion Championship 05 will take place on April 22 at Rach Mieu Stadium. The focal match will be the competition between Pham Ngoc Canh and Nguyen Thanh Do. Meanwhile, the 'rookie' Tran Ngoc Luong had a match against Brazilian boxer Robson de Oliveira.
