Superlek Eyes Knockout Victory, Promises to Make Abdulla Dalakaev Remember Him

Superlek, ONE Championship's flyweight kickboxing champion, is preparing to face Russian boxer Abdulla Dalakaev in a Muay Thai bantamweight bout at The Inner Circle event on Friday, May 15 at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium (Ramintra). Superlek has revealed through onefc.com that he wants to defeat the Russian fighter after they challenged each other on social media, and an intense staredown moment between them has already generated significant buzz among fans, who immediately dubbed it the "stare down battle." "When the promotion offered me the fight with Abdulla, I agreed right away because I'd seen him fight against Rambo Lek, Nontchai Jitmeuang Nonthaburi, and Yodaikhiq, and after watching his fights, I felt confident I could compete," Superlek stated. "When he stared at me, I didn't even know who he was at first—I was busy taking my fighters to their corners and didn't notice him staring. I only saw it later on social media, but that moment actually made the fans want to watch this fight even more, which made me even more eager to compete." Superlek emphasized his game plan: "This fight, I'm coming back with my classic 'kicking machine' style. In several recent fights, I forgot to use my main weapon and relied too much on kicks. This time, I'm committed to showcasing my full arsenal and I have other tools ready to seal the victory." He added, "It's been a long time since I fought in Thailand, and I'm hungry for a win. I'm determined to get a knockout and I believe I can do it. I'm grateful people want to see this fight—I want to make him remember me. I'll show him this won't be as easy as he thinks."
