Hong Kong superstar Rex Tso will knock out Kono, confident trainer Jay Lau predicts
Millions expected to tune in on live stream to watch Saturday night’s sold-out ‘Clash of Champions 3’ as Hong Kong’s unbeaten southpaw faces former two-time WBA world champion Kono
The body shot. It has served Rex Tso Sing-yu well in the past and it could be the punch the “Wonder Kid” fires off to wear out Japanese veteran Kohei Kono – his toughest opponent to date – in Saturday’s sold-out “Clash of Champions 3”.
Three of Tso’s last four opponents were felled by the relentless pounding from his signature right hook delivered to the solar plexus, proving too much for many of his opponents over the years.
Australia’s Brad Hore, South Korean Young Gil-bae and his last opponent, Hirofumi Mukai, all found out the hard way that the Tso body shot can deliver devastating consequences.
On Saturday night at the Convention and Exhibition Centre, millions are expected to tune in on live stream platforms across China, Japan and Thailand to watch the 30-year-old unbeaten Hong Kong superstar notch what would be his greatest victory in the 12-round contest for Tso’s WBO international super flyweight title.
