Thai striking sensation Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon boldly predicted he will knock out Russian knockout artist Abdulla \u201cSmash Boy\u201d Dayakaev in the main event of ONE Fight Night 39<\/a> on Friday, January 23, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.<\/p>\n

The Superbon Training Camp representative dismissed his opponent\u2019s punching power while emphasizing his diverse stand-up arsenal and superior speed advantages heading into this critical bantamweight Muay Thai showdown.<\/p>\n

Rambolek declared he will shut off the Dagestan-born striker\u2019s lights and seemed optimistic that a victory would position him for a title opportunity against Dayakaev\u2019s Team Mehdi Zatout stablemate, ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nabil Anane.<\/p>\n

Analyzing the stylistic matchup, Rambolek downplayed his opponent\u2019s dangerous reputation by suggesting the Russian relies exclusively on boxing without the complete skill set. The Thai striker pointed out his well-rounded Muay Thai weaponry and speed advantages as decisive factors in determining the outcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cDayakaev\u2019s fighting style? Punches, nothing more. His strengths include his powerful strikes and the punches. The advantages I have include my variety of Muay Thai weapons. I may have better speed compared to him, too. All he has is his punch, while I am equipped with everything,\u201d Rambolek said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s quite clear the Thai contender believes his traditional Muay Thai techniques will overwhelm Dayakaev, despite the Russian achieving so much success through his boxing-heavy approach.<\/p>\n

Superbon Protege Promises to Reverse \u2018Smash Boy\u2019 Nickname<\/p>\n

Taking his verbal assault further, Rambolek issued a bold finishing prediction while playing on his opponent\u2019s \u201cSmash Boy\u201d moniker. The 22-year-old, who is the protege of ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon<\/a>, vowed to deliver the knockout blow before the Russian challenger can unleash his dangerous power.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2018Smash Boy\u2019 wouldn\u2019t be able to smash me because he will be smashed by me first. In our fight, I will put his lights out,\u201d Rambolek said.<\/p>\n

Rambolek\u2019s recent string of success highlights his ability to dominate his adversaries and knock them out. In fact, his four-fight winning streak includes the phenomenal second-round TKO victory over Russia\u2019s Dmitrii Kovtun, proving he possesses the\u00a0power\u00a0to back up his bold predictions against dangerous opposition.<\/p>\n

Thai Star Eyes Championship Opportunity Following Title Eliminator<\/p>\n

With an eye on what lies ahead,<\/a> Rambolek detailed his title aspirations and acknowledged that a dominant victory over Dayakaev represents a necessary step toward earning a title shot. The Thai contender expressed belief that an impressive performance would secure an opportunity against Anane for the 26 pounds of gold.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy biggest goal is being a champion. For now, I just need to focus on this fight. If I ever get through this, I think I might get a chance to get [a shot at the] championship. If I get my victory in this upcoming fight, I think there is a chance that I will get to fight with Nabil,\u201d Rambolek explained.<\/p>\n
