Confidence on Display: Rambolek Confronts Kovtun at ONE Fight Night 32
Cocky Thai Contender Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon Ready to Tangle with Russian Foe Dmitrii Kovtun
Get ready for some electrifying Muay Thai action at ONE Fight Night 32! On June 6th, at the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, fourth-ranked bantamweight hopeful Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon will square off against Russian striker Dmitrii "The Silent Assassin" Kovtun.
Fresh off a three-fight winning streak, including a spectacular stare-down victory over Parham Gheirati at ONE Fight Night 29, Rambolek is riding high on momentum. This Thai sensation has meticulously studied his upcoming adversary and devised a strategy to outwit him in the ring.
"Dmitrii Kovtun is a solid fighter, no doubt. But I never take anyone lightly," Rambolek stated nonchalantly. "I've analyzed his fights and have a plan to take him down."
Kovtun has garnered notoriety as a "Thai Killer" after defeating some of the sport's top fighters, such as Ferrari Fairtex and Suablack Tor Pran49. However, Rambolek remains unimpressed by the Russian's southpaw style, referring to his previous win over Thai knockout artist Kulabdam.
"[Kovtun] tends to tire out towards the end and lacks defensive prowess," Rambolek observed. "He prefers to wait and counter, with his left hook being his most notable weapon. But don't forget that I've taken out Kulabdam, and he's another southpaw."
The tactically savvy Rambolek intends to exploit Kovtun's apparent weaknesses in defense, focusing on his kicks while remaining primed for a spectacular knockout.
"In this fight, I'll likely focus more on kicks because Dmitrii doesn't defend them too well," the bantamweight revealed. "If I spot an opening to finish him off, I won't hesitate."
Beyond this thrilling matchup, the young prodigy, who has earned a $100,000 contract through his impressive performances at ONE Friday Fights, harbors championship aspirations. He's particularly keen on challenging #2-ranked Jonathan "The General" Haggerty if he triumphs against Kovtun.
"There are some good guys in the top five," Rambolek acknowledged. "But the one I really want to fight is Haggerty, if I beat Dmitrii. I'll challenge him to a title shot if I come out victorious."
