Before Betting on Superlek Kiatmookao vs. Tagir Khalilov
Superlek Kiatmookao a.k.a. Superlek Kiatmuu9 or Superlek Kiatmoo9 is one of the greatest Asian kickboxers of all time. He’s the current ONE Kickboxing Champion with a 134-29-4 overall record and a winning run of 7 wins in a row. Five of those happened in ONE Championship fights.
On July 15, he’s fighting a Flyweight Muay Thai fight against Tagir Khalilov, a Russian fighter who used to train in Thailand before returning to his hometown of Yekaterinburg to open his own Muay Thai gym. Aged 30, he’s one of Russia’s best kickboxers, who’s got a very impressive record against Thai fighters.
He’s coming off back-to-back wins in ONE Championship, both of which saw him finish his opponent by KO/TKO in round 1. Can he do the same against Superlek Kiatmookao?

After two quick wins in ONE Championship, Tagir Khalilov got himself a new nickname in Thailand – “Thai Killer” – but Superlek Kiatmookao seems determined to avenge his countrymen.
We really doubt he’s gonna have the same faith as Khalilov’s last two opponents, especially given that the last time Kiatmookao lost by KO/TKO was in 2014. Plus, he’s still without a single loss in round 1 in his nearly 12 years long career.
We think there’s no way Khalilov can knock him out, but what about the other way around? We think that could happen if the Russian makes the mistake of being too aggressive against Kiatmookao. Either way, we think that with the help of his fans at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Superlek Kiatmookao will add another win to his portfolio.
Pick: Superlek Kiatmookao to win (-300)
