“Punches combined with those annoying leg kicks” - Superbon says Yuki Yoza is a problem in the bantamweight kickboxing ranks

Reigning ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon of Thailand is more than impressed by what he has witnessed from Japanese superstar Yuki Yoza so far in the world's largest martial arts organization.

Yoza burst onto the ONE Championship scene in March, defeating Elbrus Osmanov behind a comprehensive unanimous decision at ONE Friday Fights 109. Since then, the hype surrounding the Japanese star and former K-1 champion has been extraordinary.

In a recent interview on YouTube, Superbon expressed his thoughts on the 27-year-old kickboxing savant.

The Superbon Training Center founder said:

"I'd say it's definitely his punches. It's the punches combined with those annoying leg kicks, designed to hurt you and make you wary of your legs. And once you're wary of the legs, he throws punches. But then if we block a lot of punches, he throws leg kicks. And when we start defending the leg kicks, he throws punches. It's a classic Japanese kickboxing tactic that's been used since forever."

Superbon is set to return to action later this year to defend his gold. Fans won't have to wait long to see the Thai icon back in the ONE Championship ring.
