“I’m really motivated, and I feel strong. We’ve prepared a long time for this fight, and I think it’s been one of the longest preparations I’ve ever had for one person, so we’ve had plenty of time to train physically and mentally. I’m looking forward to returning to ONE’s stage and giving it my all, like I do every time I get inside the ring.”

Currently, “Supergirl” has three wins in ONE with a lone loss against Stamp Fairtex under kickboxing rules. Most recently, the Thai-born striker is coming off a kickboxing victory against Lara Fernandez. Despite spending the majority of her career in Muay Thai, Supergirl is showing impressive talent in kickboxing.

Despite facing a popular fighter among ONE fans, Morales is not deterred. She explained, in an interview with ONE, that she is focused on her fight and the victory, nothing else. She explained:

“Instead of focusing on my opponent, I focus on my strengths, and I work on them. I don’t focus too much on my opponent. I think she’s a complete fighter, and I prefer to focus on what I can do.”

The Spanish-born striker does visualization exercises in addition to her physical training. Morales continued:

“I see myself in the fight. In psychology, we work a lot on visualizing the fight, and every day after training, I visualize every shot that I want to throw, every shot that I want to connect. I want to win the fight, enjoy it, and be able to get the victory.” 

Cristina Morales will be looking to impress fans as she meets Supergirl on Nov. 3 at ONE Fight Night 16. The Spanish athlete will be looking to take a step closer to potentially earning a world title in ONE Championship.
