This performance underscored Lineker’s formidable power. But Rodtang remains unconvinced about his overall skills in Muay Thai.
“For me, from a fighter’s perspective, he’s not scary at all. Only his punches are dangerous,” Rodtang said.
“But I understand his style. Because he’s short, he can’t kick effectively. He has to walk in to punch. But his punches are deadly. He can kill a buffalo with his punch. But if I use my footwork, he might not hit me at all.”
However, “The Iron Man” is well aware of the risk should he face “Hands of Stone” in the ring. He concedes that he would strategically avoid engaging in a direct firefight, opting to leverage his experience instead.
“I don’t know if I can knock him out because he’s strong. But if I have to share the ring with him, I’d rather use my fight experience than brute force,” Rodtang said.
That would actually be an exciting fight.
And I would be interested to see if Rodtang can actually follow that cautious plan he’s talking about.
