JAKARTA - Daud Jordan is a boxer full of experience who never underestimates his opponent, including in the duel versus Thai boxer Rachata Khaophimai in Pattaya, Thailand, 19 November.
In the duel for the WBC International super lightweight (63.5 kg) title, Daud was far above Rachata Khaophimai by record. The proud Indonesian boxer was recorded as making his professional debut on August 25, 2005.
Throughout his career, he has played 44 matches and 40 of them ended in wins.
Meanwhile, the opponent, made his professional debut on May 31, 2019 and has only played in seven matches, all of which ended in wins.
From these data, David is more favored. But the 34-year-old boxer was reluctant to underestimate his opponent.
According to him, every boxer would want to show the best in a match. For that, he must prepare himself carefully and show his capacity as a professional boxer that can be said to be reckoned with.
"Boxing is a sport that cannot be measured. Mathematically, I have played more than 40 matches and fought seven times. Logically, it sounds like I will win," Daud told Antara, Monday.
"But boxing is not mathematical. One can't be one plus one becomes two. Anything can happen in the ring. In boxing, one punch can change everything and that often happens. I myself have never underestimated anyone," said Daud added.
Moreover, continued Daud, the match will be played in the opponent's cage. He and the team continue to anticipate all non-technical possibilities that occur in the ring.
Currently, Daud continues to boost preparations at the XBC Boxing Camp, South Tangerang, Banten.
In his preparation, Daud received reinforcements from a number of boxers such as Ongen Saknosiwi, Jansen Hebi Marapu, Stevie Ongen Ferdinandus, Jon Jon Jet, and others.
"So there are many sparring partners and that really helps me in preparing everything for the match later," concluded Daud who was under the guidance of coach Edin Diaz.
