How do you think the size difference will play a role?Petch is my favourite lower weight fighter in Glory but i've followed Kento for a while and i love his style. Not many people know who Kento is outside of Japan but he's a future great if he keeps his focus and keeps improving.
I wonder how much Petch knows about Kento, i hope for his sake he knows Kento has nukes in his hands.
This was his last fight and was also against a southpaw. Had no idea who he was until this fight was announced.At 63kg I suppose? Any Rise fans who can comment on how good Kento is?
Does anyone know why they don't seem to drill counter punches in Thailand? Seems uncommon even when they're training for kickboxing fights.

It is possible. You don't need to have advanced bob-weave or or advanced footwork, but some slip/block counters is not a problem. I remember a Thai trainer telling me not to slip too much, although I don't remember the exact reason why.Probably the way they have their feet planted. Footwork is very important in counterpunching but Thais prefer to have their feet in a way that allows them to kick, knee and check more effectively. Only thing it takes away from your mobility and your ability to move at your waist. When I do see thais counterpunching its usually after absorbing a punch with their high guard and timing their opponents before they can bring their gloves back rather than countering after a slip or pull.
Well when you slip to the outside in boxing you're relatively safe. Against a kicker they can follow up with a kick from the same side or just throw a kick instead of a punch and your leaning right into a roundhouse. Bad stuff, I got kicked in the head doing just that beforeIt is possible. You don't need to have advanced bob-weave or or advanced footwork, but some slip/block counters is not a problem.

Some Thais slip quite often in actual fights though, even if it's not drilled in pad/mitt work.Well when you slip to the outside in boxing you're relatively safe.
