For Liam Harrison: aggression, toughness and power

If Nong-O Gaiyanghadao has to "box the brawler," Harrison, in turn, has to "brawl the boxer". What makes Nong-O so legendary is his ability to read his opponent's behavior and tendecies like a computer collecting data. Once he's figured you out, he'll know what to do three steps before you even think of making a move.

That being said, if Nong-O Gaiyanghadao is a computer collecting and processing data, then what Harrison needs to do is overload that computer. Harrison has to come in like a cyclone - throwing a lot of strikes from all angles. He needs to overwhelm the world champion with so much data that he won't have enough time and space to process everything coming his way.

Harrison needs to cut the Circle in half and take the center right away. He needs to make the Circle seem small for Nong-O and aggressively swarm him with attacks. He might get hit coming in, so he's going to have to rely on his toughness to land his shots. When he lands, he needs to land with absolute power.

For both: always be first

This bout boils down to who will get to impose his gameplan first. To do that, both need to be first and lead the dance. Both fighters won't be able to impose their games if they're largely defending the other's attacks.

Whoever gets to dictate the pace of the bout and make his opponent catch up to his game will most likely leave ONE on Prime Video 1 the champion. We'll just have to tune in on August 26 to find out.
