Duel Gary Tonon vs Gasanov on One Fight Night 12, This is Martin Nguyen’s prediction

– Ahead of next week’s One Fight Night 12, former two-division ONE world champion Martin Nguyen has his predictions for the divisional bout featherweight.

A fierce battle between Garry Tonon and Shamil Gasanov will take place at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok on 15 July in the all-new ONE Championship.

Tonon who is currently in the top two will compete with Gasanov in the top five. The match also caught the attention of Martin Nguyen, who was the fourth best challenger in the division.

According to the former division champion, Nguyen sees both of them as having an interest in winning. It is indistinguishable from the background of the two.

“When the fight was over, I saw Garry Tono punch Gasanov in a leg lock,” said Nguyen.

However, Nguyen acknowledged that the duel could turn into a close fight. If that moment occurs, Gasanov, who has a background in wrestling and samba, could win.

“Only when the fight went both ways as I expected did I think Shamil could win the fight,” he continued.

Previously, Nguyen almost fought against Gasanov in February. However, the Russian star was injured and had to make a last-minute substitution.

“I thought I would fight Gasanov, but I understand. Fighters have to stay active,” Nguyen explained.

In addition, Nguyen is willing to serve the winner of this match in the future. Moreover, the athlete named “Situ Asia” is still a threat in the Gold Zone division dominated by Tang Kai.

“They think they can fight for the belt after winning that fight, but they have to get past me first,” he concluded.
