Vladimir Kuzmin believes Korodi's aggression will cost him

To secure the W inside the Lumpinee Stadium this week, Vladimir Kuzmin knows he must overcome Korodi's heavy-pressure style.

He, however, appears to be not all that worried about the Romanian-Irish representative's approach, saying it'll fall right into his area of expertise.

“I don’t get flustered when someone pressures me. It actually works in my favor. I can fight both on the front foot and the back foot.”
