Holzken is too strong for anyone and he will defeat again Valtellini.
PS i don’t understand why Glory employ such a bad referees, for example in this fight the ref should not have count Holzken. It would be better to take some good European kickboxing referees
Your opinion about defeating again Valtellini is too categorical and I disagree with. I believe it is going to be a very hard fight for both of them with a result very difficult to predict now because both are very precise and strong punchers. In the last fight Nieky connected first the right knocking down punch, in the future one, WHO knows!!!!,
You could argue about experience and I’m with you on that however Valtellini’s technics are very solid and nothing to critic about them so he has a very good chance to win the next.
I know it will be a hard fight for both but Holzken’s boxing skill is far too superior, he has 6 professional boxing fight with 6 kos….what Valtellini is better in?
PS for me valtellini is the #2 in t world, don’t think I don’t respect him!!
As I told you before I cannot argue against experience. However, as you well know, Valtellini has a very good boxer skills too combined with strong punching capabilities aimed in particular to the body.
Assuming that it is a future match between them, If Valtellini has the opportunity to precisely connect one of his punch, as Nieky did in last fight, for sure he will be the winner.
You cannot denied that such kind of opportunity it is always present for skilled fighters like this two guys.
A clash of two completely different styles. Nieky’s style more orthodox and consistent one prevailed. On the other hand he is a very strong puncher.
It would be very nice to see him fighting again with Valtellini who is the only one that could defeat Nieky in this category.
