‘The Greatest’ Kim Soo-chul collapsed, lost the 1R TKO in the Japanese Raizin title match
Naoki Inoue (27, Japan) knelt with a TKO in 3:55 of the first round in the bantamweight title match of the Raizin FFF 48 Comain Event held at Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo on the 29th.
As usual, Kim was aggressive against Naoki. He strode forward and set a strike distance, and made Naoki retreat with a surprise rush from a long distance.
However, Naoki is a talented person who made it to the UFC in 2018 with an impressive performance on the Japanese stage.
He began to respond to Kim Soo-chul’s advance with a sharp counter punch. When Kim attempted a punch rush, he came out with a smooth side step. It seemed to be reading all of Kim Soo-chul’s strategies.
Inoue’s left hook hit Kim Soo-chul’s chin when Kim Soo-chul stepped forward in the middle of the first round.
Kim Soo-chul, who had been reeling greatly, had no choice but to have a perfect posture. Inoue did not miss this gap. When he put in a one-two straight, he sank Kim Soo-chul. The game ended with a series of foundry hits.
Kim Soo-chul made his professional debut in 2010, moved to the Singapore One Championship in 2011, and beat Realdro in 2013 to win the bantamweight title.
Kim Soo-chul, who returned to Road FC, won a decision by Kim Min-woo in April 2017 and became a road FC bantamweight champion, and defeated Park Hae-jin in May 2022 to conquer the featherweight.
In April, he beat Taiichi Nakajima by a second-round KO in Raizin to earn the spot for the Raizin Bantamweight title. The Raizin Bantamweight title was vacant when the reigning champion, Kai Asakura, advanced to the UFC.
Kim Soo-chul is playing between Road FC and Raizin. He defeated Hiroshima Okikubo in his debut match for Raizin in October 2022 by a decision, and participated in a match against Bellator of the U.S. in December that year, and lost 1-2 with Juan Archuleta, former Bellator champion.
Kim Soo-chul was on a four-game winning streak, catching strong overseas players such as Alexei Indenko, Bruno Ageddu and Akira Haraguchi after the defeat against Achuleta.토토사이트
Not only did it lose four consecutive games, but it was also the first loss against a Japanese player in his entire career.
Kim Soo-chul said in an interview after the game, “I think I owe my son and wife again,” but soon regained his laughter and said “thank you” to Japanese fans.
