Clear indeed! "Coach Q PK" points out the reason why "Prachanchai" lost to "Wang Zhiguang" at ONE The Inner Circle 35.
Following Prachanchai Pongsuphan PK's split 1-2 decision loss to China's Wang Zhiguang in the strawweight kickboxing bout at ONE The Inner Circle 35 held at Lumpinee Stadium.
Recently, Coach Q of PK Saenchai Muay Thai Gym, also known as Weerayut Khongnok, a sports scientist and fitness coach at PK Saenchai Muay Thai Gym, posted the reasons behind Prachanchai's defeat as follows.
"He lost. For me, I will analyze it from a scientific perspective, setting aside skill."
"Boxing is a 100% contact sport involving weight factors and hydration tests as variables. The challenge is not just planning the fitness training schedule but also managing weight cutting. The hardest part is how to optimize both aspects."
"Preparation"
- The preparation period was only six weeks, which is certainly insufficient for building full physical capacity. Mainly, we focused on weight cutting. - A long break and advancing age clearly reduced performance levels. - Being overweight beyond BMI before starting training and concerns about the rules at that time caused some rounds to have ineffective striking and insufficiently intense round-by-round game planning. - Although the weigh-in was passed, it took considerable time to complete weighing and hydration tests, which reduced recovery time.
Finally, thank you for all the support and feedback.
