The first thing that Hirata believes she has going for her, is the 13-year age-gap between herself and her adversary.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to ONE, the 23-year-old star said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHer weakness is probably her age. I think I have to win with my stamina due to my youth.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The first thing with <u>Itsuki Hirata<\/u> is that she\u2019s going to make sure the fight evolves on the ground right from the onset. Her unique fighting style primarily consists of judo and wrestling, which allows her to exploit her opponents\u2019 weaknesses on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>As Hirata mentioned above, it takes a lot of stamina and explosiveness on her part to initiate her grappling, but more so for the person on the bottom who\u2019s scrambling to break free. At the end of the day, if the Korean veteran can\u2019t keep this fight standing, it could potentially be a very short night for her.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/news-superlek-grateful-one-championship-s-surprise-press-conference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">ONE Fight Night 8<\/a> will be broadcast live and for free in North America via Prime Video on Friday, March 24.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>Itsuki Hirata insists she will not stop attacking until she gets the victory<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s no denying that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/news-itsuki-hirata-says-full-anxiety-finally-making-weight-ham-seo-hee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Itsuki Hirata<\/a> is taking her next atomweight bout against <u>Ham Seo Hee <\/u>very seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since she moved to the US last year, Hirata has been honing her craft with the help of American boxing coaches Ray Longo and Matt Serra. Getting some world-class instruction from the other side of the world seems to have benefited the young athlete in many ways. For one, she\u2019s seen major improvements in her stand-up and her wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>Feeling confident with her training camp, Hirata says she\u2019s ready to push the pace and give it her all come Friday night.<\/p>\n<p>In the same interview, she stipulated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI will fight for five minutes and three rounds, and I\u2019ll keep attacking until the very end no matter what the situation is.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"reply-input-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"reply-section-container\" parent-comment-id=\"\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"pic-near-reply-box\" src=\"\" alt=\"Profile picture\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><br \/>\n<template id=\"gif-box-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script> \nvar fbPixelFired = false;\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", function() { loadFBPixel() });\ndocument.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", function() { loadFBPixel() });\nfunction loadFBPixel() {\nif(fbPixelFired) {\nreturn;\n}\nfbPixelFired = true;\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? \nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, \ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '952063904834769'); \nfbq('track', \"PageView\");\nfbq('track', 'ViewContent');\n}\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/news-itsuki-hirata-identifies-ham-seo-hee-s-one-weakness?utm_source=feed&#038;utm_medium=referral&#038;utm_campaign=sportskeeda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Android 18\u2019 Itsuki Hirata identified exactly what Ham Seo Hee\u2019s one weakness is and it\u2019s not what you might think.
