LITO Adiwang is confident he can finish the fight this time when he faces off again with Jeremy Miado on Nov. 4 in One Fight Night at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok.
Miado won their first bout in March 2022 by technical knockout in the second round when Adiwang suffered a knee injury.

“Looking back, my leg kicks were working in that fight, and it’s still something that I plan to use, but now we’re looking to incorporate everything. I’m working on connecting everything – from leg kicks to punches to timing that takedown,” said Adiwang.
“In this fight, I believe I need to push more. In our first fight, we were both feeling it out, waiting for one (another) to make a mistake. I wasn’t that aggressive. This time, I need to be more active, more aggressive, but in a smart way.”
Adiwang won his return bout, beating Adrian Mattheis in September by technical knockout and now holds a 14-5 record.
Miado has a 12-5 record, losing his last fight to Mansur Malachiev by submission in the first round.
“The difference in this fight, I think, is I expect this fight to have a faster pace,” Adiwang said.
“Though I believe we’re more technical strikers right now, expect us to go all-in and be more aggressive this time.”
“I believe that this fight will eventually reach the ground, regardless of how it gets there. I see this fight becoming a ground battle,” he said.
“Maybe I can control him there, then submit him. That’s how I see this fight happening. “
