After getting delayed due to COVID-19 protocols, Kryklia will defend his ONE Championship kickboxing belt in an interesting tale of the tape. Right off the bat, you see the major height and reach differences between the two. Champion Kryklia stands over 5 inches taller than Aygun with a wingspan that can pepper the challenger from a distance.
What makes Aygun so dangerous, however, is his toughness and aggression inside the pocket. The man can get hit coming in but has the ability to absorb punishment and still dish out his own. Kryklia will look to control the fight using his straight punches and movement to keep Aygun from finding his range. As for the stocky Dutch-Turkish fighter, he needs to find a way to make the cage seem small for the champion and corner him. This way, he’ll be able to close the distance and unleash his powershots inside.
Watch the full fight preview here:
ONE Championship light heavyweight kickboxing champion Roman Kryklia is well prepared for his next challenge
On February 25, at ONE: Full Circle, ONE light heavyweight kickboxing king Roman Kryklia will have a gargantuan task in front of him. The champion, however, is not coming in blind. In an interview with ONE Championship, the Ukrainian striker mentioned that he studied Murat Aygun extensively ahead of their bout.
Kryklia assesses that Aygun’s style and physique is not something new to him and that the Dutch-Turkish brute is somewhat “predictable” in his attacks. He further explains:
Bold claims for the champion but we are sure that he has a gameplan to expose these claims for the world to see. Whether or not Kryklia’s assessments are true, we just need to tune in on February 25 to find out.
