[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

How impressed were you with Superbon's performance? Would you say 10/10?

[@champ1159]

Definitely was worried about how getting KO'd by Marat might affect him mentally, was scared he would be gung-ho and get caught but his performance was awesome

[@Prymary2]

Most definitely. Superbon was a surgeon on Saturday

[@SUF-py4ix]

I never saw the fight but as a left footer it was great to see. I was always told the front leg is like a jab.

[@mmareviewer.2372]

That fight can be summed up in two words that described the downfall = "Lead teeps" that destroyed the core along with great leg kicks and knees destroying the core some more followed by Gregorian breaking apart to defeat. Once he felt a few teeps he should of stayed at a distance and fought long. Superbon treated him like an armature.

[@sociallypatterneddefect9580]

Beautiful technique.. in sparing I've been trying use my foot jab but harder than it looks!! He made landing that foot jab is easy..

[@rawke7279]

Great breakdown. But yes the whole fight was set up by superbons teap. First minute of the fight he had it established. Amazing and I've not seen a lot of fights set up like that

[@judgegerald1275]

Against superbons pull back head movement do you think switch hitting combinations would be a good counter?

[@RennyRe]

That's really the classic Muay Thai approach to dealing with dangerous punchers executed quite beautifully by Superbon.

[@Deimian676]

Agreed.

[@frostspecter6045]

Heyaa, I know it might be too much to ask but would it be possible to break down either the nong o vs lobo fight or the Capitan vs akimoto. Both were such amazing fights imo. Amazing top tier breakdown nonetheless!

[@AlexTingWorld]

Another +1 for Nong-o v Lobo!

[@adamfoureaux7997]

Yes please🙏🏽💯

[@Daxxwabs710]

That nongo fight was nice

[@heavyfairtex1801]

Capitan vs Akimoto was simply a WAR! Maybe best Thai vs Japan fight all the time, Akimoto landed some serious leg kicks whole fight 😖

[@RedRain95]

You can see Buakaw's influence on Superbon in this fight his constant use of long guard, left roundhouse, teeps, and lowkicks to stiffle agressive pressure boxers like Marat.

[@Puissance81]

This fight reminded me of the both fights between Buakaw and Holzken. Buakaw also dominated Holzken mainly with a jab and a teep. Master class stuff.

[@kaonieoh]

This strategy is the same as when Buakaw beats Holtzken, twice.

[@anthonycoleman9494]

I think the reason why marat didn't do anything to address the teep was because if he would have dropped a hand to try to catch it ect then he would have left himself open for the right headkick that everyone is on notice about.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I would have advised scooping the kick. Then you can address the front kick well protecting the other side of your head. Perhaps easier said than done against Superbon.

[@flyingturtlemonkeyindatrees]

Yeah I'm still surprised he didn't try scooping it.. we train it all the time at my gym and use it in sparring. It's more common with Thai's I suppose and Grigorian is more of a boxer... but still if you scoop quickly while at range it's really pretty safe. Especially with the long teep that Superbon was using

[@TastyScotch]

My coach used to tell me “the beauty of muay thai is you don’t need a laundry list of fancy moves to win a fight. Jab cross teep roundhouse is all you really need if you execute effectively.” Great breakdown, thanks for this vid 😎👍

[@mtmatt6111]

Superbon deserves a lot of credit for calling out Marat as his first title defense - true champion and brilliant performance. He really resembled Buakaw in many ways in this fight.

[@2North0Star6]

It’s so beautiful to see someone dominate their sport by perfecting the basics and performing them perfectly

[@burningknuckle26]

True. Fundamentals are #1

[@fromisgunner]

Him and Tawanchai have the best teeps in the game today.

[@sociallypatterneddefect9580]

Where tawanchai nowadays?

[@fromisgunner]

@@sociallypatterneddefect9580 he knocked out Saempetch a couple months ago at ONE :) He's in their Muay Thai division

@@sociallypatterneddefect9580 sitting on the bench he said he'll be back fighting at 70kgs (his natural weight)

[@burningknuckle26]

Superbon looked so good. Technical and such a masterclass. It was a beauty to watch. The step knees were brutal. Superbons ring IQ is on a 100 Akimoto, Klinmee, Allasov, and Nong O were crazy.

[@dragb6281]

Can you analyse Nong O , who is very technical chess master .

[@buqtair3129]

This is a classic, clear and detailed breakdown. You are a treasure

[@jamesthorne6304]

Crazy fight n good break down by Gabriel I almost prefer this video over the actual fight

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Haha. Thanks for the kind words. I WISH my episode was as good as Superbon's performance.

[@8limbedwarriornakmuay504]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial Do a video about the overrated Ramon Dekkers who lost to 29+ smaller Thai like Jomhod Kiatadisak twice , Sangtiennoi Sor Rungroj thrice , Namphon Nongkeepahuyuth twice , Coban Lookchaomaesaitong twice , Orono Por Muang-Ubon twice , Den Muangsurin 4 times , Chanoy Pontawee twice , Superlek Sor Esarn twice , Saimai Chor Suananant , Jareonthong Kiatbanchong , Namkabuan Nongkeepahuyuth , Issara Sakrerin , Daris Sor Thanikhul , Boonchai Sor Tawanun , Rittichai Lookchaomaesaitong , Sakmongkhol Sitchuchok , Teerapong Sitkorayuth and Cherry Sor Wanich.

[@Duckydafist]

I think Marat did not want to drop his hands for a millisecond because of that insane headkick potential. So he would take the teep rather than risk the shin to chin.

[@maurogasparini5536]

Superbon has spectacular timing and distance managment is spectacullar, and is still growing and learning. I cant imagine how far he will be going. You coud see marat didnt know what to do or how to adapt, even being the stronger he coundt land a clear shot A masterclass of superbon on how to defeat a stronger oponent fighting smart

[@NoName-lt9eu]

Supperbon = samart payakaroon + buakaw

[@user-pd9ju5dk5s]

Gabriel just makes videos to stay relevant 🤣

[@user-pd9ju5dk5s]

@@donetsvapetrunki1623 he had to study to watch them 🤣🤣

[@SquaredbyX]

This is really good. Like striking 'white papers'

[@flabbybeast]

My impression is superbon is setting up for a head kick with the teeps. G is absobing the teeps and not getting baited to drop his hand. The moment he does, superbon is putting the head kick up. So it's well done to grigorian for keeping his guard tight for all the rounds and not getting baited

[@roydong2666]

Yeah I was getting the same feeling. In a similar way to how superbon kept kicking petrosyans body then went to the head when that opportunity came

[@whoknows8223]

Interesting point! But if you hollow a little you can defend the teep with elbows and still have the hands up for a headkick

[@mtmatt6111]

But checkmate for Superbon as Marat was in a no-win situation. Eat teeps right below the belly button or get KO'd with a head kick.

[@user-pd9ju5dk5s]

That's just how Grigorian fights.

[@oz1128]

Superbon himself said he was not going for a headkick since everybody was expecting that..watch his own breakdown on his channel

[@killaben85]

Gabe what did you think about Akimoto's use of Calf Kicks/Sweeps in his fight at ONE X?

[@moumous87]

The front kick is the jab of Muay Thai fighters

[@carbajal4732]

My favorite fight on card was chingiz and sittichai, crazy day for One

[@champ1159]

Hiroki Akimoto vs Capitan is definitely a candidate for fight of the year

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

That fight was stellar. You guys can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHbanaV_r7R_m7c

[@frederickdoyon]

That was one of my favorite performance ever. So clean and disciplined. And right on with Namsaknoi. The jab to teep was his bread and butter!

[@mtstyle665]

Somehow I felt the sweetness of Namsaknoi embodied on Superbon, timing, accuracy, distance control, patience..., maybe it was only my imagination

Should've faced Regularbon first

😅😂😋

[@danchovanes2612]

I think I could handle a Subparbon

[@MrBuculis]

That`s probably similar performance to Buakaw vs. Zambidis, where Buakaw disseminated Zambidis.

[@SachinDere]

Agree nongo match was awesome too

[@dahoe1]

Very similar game plan to Buakaws fight with Holtzen

[@bunmeng007]

What a brilliant breakdown. I can see Varga becoming a color commentary for a promotion. Great stuff

[@eugenepearson5939]

I thought he wasn't trying to block it(Teeps)because of Superbons round houses

[@oz1128]

You clearly didnt watch buakaw vs nieky holzken..it was the same low power front kick

[@만지-u1e]

I wonder how superbon deal with chingiz allazov who just beat sittichai.

[@burningknuckle26]

That's gonna be a crazy fight. Chingiz is fast and has lots of volume. Superbon will prob neutralize that tbh

[@clintj]

I think having Namsaknoi in his training corner was a top move

[@caiquecarvalho771]

Superbon pronounced in portuguese means "super good" or "very good". Super has the meaning as super in english and "bon" doesn't have a meaning in portuguese but its pronunciation is the same as the word "bom" that means "good".

[@PatrickC63]

Awesome breakdown, I appreciate you giving your analysis! I agree, his movement was crisp. Having a game plan is something all fighters have, but execution is key.

[@thetreekeeper143]

I think superbon should improve his cardio more. He looked like he got tired towards the end.

[@Lorendrawn]

Wasn't there a quote that went "kicks beat punches, teeps beat everything"

[@Lorendrawn]

Fight reminded me of Samart teeping and jabbing opponents while dancing in a circle around the ring.

[@adnansteady1259]

Yeah it was a push kick clinic and distancing control by superbon

[@jalankaki216]

Power vs Technique Dutch style vs Muay Thai style

[@JD-oe5uc]

Not much low kicks for Dutch style. First thing I learned as Dutchie was ‘always end a combo with a low kick!’

Great breakdown. I was super impressed with Superbon's timing and ability to gage distance.

[@What_da_again]

Maybe Marat was cautious of the lead front kick being used to set up the right high kick? Feint to fire? I haven't watched a Superbon fight before his last one, but that KO over Petrosyan was scary.

[@hoangdangtuan8405]

Could you analyze Akimoto fighting style?

[@wifi1057]

grigorian always loses to guy with good left body kick... I love his style but he gotta overcome this

Probably would haven been 😋 Although it would involve a style change for me which can turnout well but sometimes not well. But yes. I feel Superbon has a good style to defeat Robin.

[@8limbedwarriornakmuay504]

Marat is 2-6 against elite prime Thai fighters. He beat Sittichai and Superbon. Lost to Sittichai 4 times , Yodsanklai and Superbon. Marat wins over Aikpracha Menayothin and Jomthong Chuwattana when both were past their prime or had no business under Kickboxing rules. Overall Marat is 4-6 against Thai fighters all under Kickboxing rules.

[@javierparedes1898]

Hey Gabriel, Can you make a video on sparring someone that creates alot of defensive traffic, leans back and backs up alot? They tend to karate block all my straight punches, and hooks. Their guard isn't a traditional long guard but their hands are a little far from their face.

[@whoknows8223]

When somebody is evasive attack the body and legs. - Like when you punch and he backs up end your combo with a lowkick. You have more range in kicks than in punches. - When he uses headmovement/leans back his body stays still at same point so attack it. (Feint high, go down to the body) - when somebody uses long guard arms out, his elbows do not protect his body. I'd go to the body too in that case Good luck in sparring!
