Definitely was worried about how getting KO'd by Marat might affect him mentally, was scared he would be gung-ho and get caught but his performance was awesome
That fight can be summed up in two words that described the downfall = "Lead teeps" that destroyed the core along with great leg kicks and knees destroying the core some more followed by Gregorian breaking apart to defeat. Once he felt a few teeps he should of stayed at a distance and fought long. Superbon treated him like an armature.
You can see Buakaw's influence on Superbon in this fight his constant use of long guard, left roundhouse, teeps, and lowkicks to stiffle agressive pressure boxers like Marat.
My coach used to tell me “the beauty of muay thai is you don’t need a laundry list of fancy moves to win a fight. Jab cross teep roundhouse is all you really need if you execute effectively.” Great breakdown, thanks for this vid 😎👍
Superbon deserves a lot of credit for calling out Marat as his first title defense - true champion and brilliant performance. He really resembled Buakaw in many ways in this fight.
Superbon looked so good. Technical and such a masterclass. It was a beauty to watch. The step knees were brutal. Superbons ring IQ is on a 100 Akimoto, Klinmee, Allasov, and Nong O were crazy.
I think the reason why marat didn't do anything to address the teep was because if he would have dropped a hand to try to catch it ect then he would have left himself open for the right headkick that everyone is on notice about.
I would have advised scooping the kick. Then you can address the front kick well protecting the other side of your head. Perhaps easier said than done against Superbon.
Yeah I'm still surprised he didn't try scooping it.. we train it all the time at my gym and use it in sparring. It's more common with Thai's I suppose and Grigorian is more of a boxer... but still if you scoop quickly while at range it's really pretty safe. Especially with the long teep that Superbon was using
Heyaa, I know it might be too much to ask but would it be possible to break down either the nong o vs lobo fight or the Capitan vs akimoto. Both were such amazing fights imo. Amazing top tier breakdown nonetheless!
Superbon has spectacular timing and distance managment is spectacullar, and is still growing and learning. I cant imagine how far he will be going. You coud see marat didnt know what to do or how to adapt, even being the stronger he coundt land a clear shot A masterclass of superbon on how to defeat a stronger oponent fighting smart
My impression is superbon is setting up for a head kick with the teeps. G is absobing the teeps and not getting baited to drop his hand. The moment he does, superbon is putting the head kick up. So it's well done to grigorian for keeping his guard tight for all the rounds and not getting baited
I think Marat did not want to drop his hands for a millisecond because of that insane headkick potential. So he would take the teep rather than risk the shin to chin.

Awesome breakdown, I appreciate you giving your analysis! I agree, his movement was crisp. Having a game plan is something all fighters have, but execution is key.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial would love to see you break that fight down Gabriel, I found it dizzying to watch in real-time. So much going on so quickly, can only imagine all the subtleties at play. Cheers from a fellow Victorian ;)
@@GabrielVargaOfficial Thanks for the personal welcome! Related to this fight and your breakdown: I attended a Superbon seminar last year in Chicago, after the Petrosyan fight. Many of the techniques and sequences from the Marat fight and Petrosyan fight were demonstrated. It was mostly basics, but he emphasized details and timing for everything. Also, Superbon is a class act and spoke English well enough to teach the entire seminar. Another interesting item is that he was extremely motivated for the Petro fight, and also hungry to avenge his loss to Marat for his next fight.
Wow, I loved the attempted sweep from Superbon of Gregorian at the opening of the fifth round. Very cheeky, but Gregorian wasn't off-balance enough for it to work. Gotta say, it was a wonderful fight!
Hey Gab, it is so full of value for me to see you're fight analyses. Would love to see an episode where you set up a strategy against an opponent after analysing fight. Would really love to learn how to do that
Awesome video. Interesting to hear your take on it. I’m no novice and definitely things in there I had not thought of until you said them. Whilst I like both fighters I really wanted Superbon to win. So awesome he did, and in the way he did. Come on dudes, subscribe!!!!!!
Maybe Marat was cautious of the lead front kick being used to set up the right high kick? Feint to fire? I haven't watched a Superbon fight before his last one, but that KO over Petrosyan was scary.
Great breakdown. But yes the whole fight was set up by superbons teap. First minute of the fight he had it established. Amazing and I've not seen a lot of fights set up like that
Superbon pronounced in portuguese means "super good" or "very good". Super has the meaning as super in english and "bon" doesn't have a meaning in portuguese but its pronunciation is the same as the word "bom" that means "good".
@@GabrielVargaOfficial actually in K1 he was about to fight.. but he got injured and Buakaw was his replacement.. and we all know what Buakaw acheived..🙏
@@GabrielVargaOfficial haha just watched it and now I am going to learn from your break down 🙏🏽. As I commented on another video, your insights are so helpful. You will play a big role in my first fight, win or loose ( hopefully win 😁💪🏼). Thank you 😊
Can you tell me how to win a fight for someone's who's lacking cardio? I have an asthma and that cause me lost my 2 amateur kickboxing fight by Judge decision cause i got out pointed in later round event when my oppoent getting damaged more than i
8:00 man I was wondering this the whole fight. Why not block with elbows. A lot of (easy) points for Superbon. Why did noone in his corner tell him to do it. Don't get it.
Marat is weird like that. Just watch his fight with Yod I don't think Marat thought "yeah his kicks aren't damaging me" It's Yod's kicks, the hardest kick at 70kgs His arm went purple and pretty much stopped comboing and he still did not even try to defend his arms which is fine quite idiotic..,
Hey Gabriel, Can you make a video on sparring someone that creates alot of defensive traffic, leans back and backs up alot? They tend to karate block all my straight punches, and hooks. Their guard isn't a traditional long guard but their hands are a little far from their face.
When somebody is evasive attack the body and legs. - Like when you punch and he backs up end your combo with a lowkick. You have more range in kicks than in punches. - When he uses headmovement/leans back his body stays still at same point so attack it. (Feint high, go down to the body) - when somebody uses long guard arms out, his elbows do not protect his body. I'd go to the body too in that case Good luck in sparring!

Probably would haven been 😋 Although it would involve a style change for me which can turnout well but sometimes not well. But yes. I feel Superbon has a good style to defeat Robin.
Would love to see a video or short going into what you think about the Rodtang v. DJ superfight and (SPOILER ALERT) what you think Rodtang should've done differently in that first round if anything
PS. Superbon will achieve more than Buakaw. He still has at least 6 good years left. He’s 100% a modern Samart. His efficiency of movement and gas tank are completely unrivalled. Plus, I LOVE the fact he uploaded the fight to his channel...then had an explanation video the next day...when One FC told him to take it down. 🤷♂️ Lmfao! Legend or what?

How impressed were you with Superbon's performance?
Would you say 10/10?
Definitely was worried about how getting KO'd by Marat might affect him mentally, was scared he would be gung-ho and get caught but his performance was awesome
Most definitely. Superbon was a surgeon on Saturday
I never saw the fight but as a left footer it was great to see. I was always told the front leg is like a jab.

Beautiful technique.. in sparing I've been trying use my foot jab but harder than it looks!! He made landing that foot jab is easy..
That's really the classic Muay Thai approach to dealing with dangerous punchers executed quite beautifully by Superbon.
Agreed.
@@Deimian676 Look who's here 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@user-pd9ju5dk5sits you the chad😮
You can see Buakaw's influence on Superbon in this fight his constant use of long guard, left roundhouse, teeps, and lowkicks to stiffle agressive pressure boxers like Marat.
It’s so beautiful to see someone dominate their sport by perfecting the basics and performing them perfectly
True. Fundamentals are #1

Superbon deserves a lot of credit for calling out Marat as his first title defense - true champion and brilliant performance. He really resembled Buakaw in many ways in this fight.
This fight reminded me of the both fights between Buakaw and Holzken. Buakaw also dominated Holzken mainly with a jab and a teep. Master class stuff.
This is a classic, clear and detailed breakdown. You are a treasure
Superbon looked so good. Technical and such a masterclass. It was a beauty to watch. The step knees were brutal. Superbons ring IQ is on a 100

This strategy is the same as when Buakaw beats Holtzken, twice.
This is really good. Like striking 'white papers'

Another +1 for Nong-o v Lobo!
Yes please🙏🏽💯
That nongo fight was nice
Capitan vs Akimoto was simply a WAR! Maybe best Thai vs Japan fight all the time, Akimoto landed some serious leg kicks whole fight 😖
Superbon has spectacular timing and distance managment is spectacullar, and is still growing and learning. I cant imagine how far he will be going. You coud see marat didnt know what to do or how to adapt, even being the stronger he coundt land a clear shot
A masterclass of superbon on how to defeat a stronger oponent fighting smart
That was one of my favorite performance ever. So clean and disciplined. And right on with Namsaknoi. The jab to teep was his bread and butter!
My impression is superbon is setting up for a head kick with the teeps. G is absobing the teeps and not getting baited to drop his hand. The moment he does, superbon is putting the head kick up. So it's well done to grigorian for keeping his guard tight for all the rounds and not getting baited
Yeah I was getting the same feeling. In a similar way to how superbon kept kicking petrosyans body then went to the head when that opportunity came
Interesting point! But if you hollow a little you can defend the teep with elbows and still have the hands up for a headkick
But checkmate for Superbon as Marat was in a no-win situation. Eat teeps right below the belly button or get KO'd with a head kick.
That's just how Grigorian fights.
Superbon himself said he was not going for a headkick since everybody was expecting that..watch his own breakdown on his channel
Agree nongo match was awesome too
What a brilliant breakdown. I can see Varga becoming a color commentary for a promotion. Great stuff
I think Marat did not want to drop his hands for a millisecond because of that insane headkick potential. So he would take the teep rather than risk the shin to chin.
Crazy fight n good break down by Gabriel I almost prefer this video over the actual fight

Very similar game plan to Buakaws fight with Holtzen
Very informative analysis of the fight! Didn't catch the forward stance of Superbon while viewing the fight.
Loved this breakdown!
Glad you enjoyed it!
great breakdown!
Somehow I felt the sweetness of Namsaknoi embodied on Superbon, timing, accuracy, distance control, patience..., maybe it was only my imagination
Gabe what did you think about Akimoto's use of Calf Kicks/Sweeps in his fight at ONE X?
Fight reminded me of Samart teeping and jabbing opponents while dancing in a circle around the ring.
That`s probably similar performance to Buakaw vs. Zambidis, where Buakaw disseminated Zambidis.
Awesome video.

Yes. I think everyone knew I'd get this episode done. Plus I had a lot of requests so.....

Maybe Marat was cautious of the lead front kick being used to set up the right high kick? Feint to fire? I haven't watched a Superbon fight before his last one, but that KO over Petrosyan was scary.
Solid breakdown. Thank you. I feel with all of Superbon’s recent fight camp travel - it made him looked tired (possibly jetlagged too?)
Jet lag pre fight is super real.

I wonder how superbon deal with chingiz allazov who just beat sittichai.
That's gonna be a crazy fight. Chingiz is fast and has lots of volume. Superbon will prob neutralize that tbh
Could you also make a video about some female fighters? Just like valentina schevchenko, angela lee, stamp fairtex, ecc?
Superbon pronounced in portuguese means "super good" or "very good". Super has the meaning as super in english and "bon" doesn't have a meaning in portuguese but its pronunciation is the same as the word "bom" that means "good".

Gabriel just a thought wouldn't this (Superbons Tactic) have been a good blueprint for your fight against Robin van Roosmalen?
Probably would haven been 😋
Although it would involve a style change for me which can turnout well but sometimes not well.
But yes. I feel Superbon has a good style to defeat Robin.
Power vs Technique
Dutch style vs Muay Thai style
Not much low kicks for Dutch style. First thing I learned as Dutchie was ‘always end a combo with a low kick!’
I loved the fight.
Wouldnt the weight position to the front leave superbon vulnerable to sweeps? Is that something Murat could have exploited?
No sweeps in ONE Kickboxing
