“The Kicking Machine” Superlek is an experienced Muay Thai striker with over 100 career victories. This Thai-born athlete is the current ONE flyweight kickboxing champion, in addition to formerly holding Lumpinee Boxing Stadium titles. On Jul. 14, it will be his fourth calendar bout in 2023.
Russia’s “Samingpri” Tagir Khalilov has won his his most recent two Muay Thai bouts by way of knockout. He is a Russian national Muay Thai champion in addition to having experience facing ace strikers, such as Rodtang Jitmuangnon.
The former Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion Stamp Fairtex recently sat down for an interview to discuss the upcoming Muay Thai battle. On Superlek vs. Tagir Khailov, Stamp explained:
“I think Superlek has the advantage in terms of his deadly kicks. He can kick smoothly and fast. For Tagir, I used to watch his previous fights, and I see that his punch is something. He doesn’t only have one or two strikes, but he can punch in a nice combination. I think if Superlek can kick faster and has better timing than him, I bet Superlek is going to win. But, if he lets Tagir come to close range, Tagir probably finishes him. Anyway, I’ll cheer for Superlek, for sure.”
Stamp continued:
“This fight will definitely be a must-watch fight. First things first. Tagir’s style is focused on offense, while Superlek’s style is to find an opening from his opponent’s attack and counter. This is a real game of wits. Whoever gets a clean shot first will get a chance to win. And, of course, many fans always wait to watch Superlek fight. This match is highly anticipated. And, tell you what, I’m Superlek’s FC.”
