Super RIZIN 3 is set to be a spectacular event, featuring a unique clash of boxing, kickboxing, bare knuckle and mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters competing on one card. In the main event Mikuru Asakura and Ren Hiramoto square off in a featherweight MMA bout. The highly anticipated bout between legendary boxing champion Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao and rising MMA star Rukiya Anpo go toe to toe in a 3 round boxing exhibition. This RIZIN event is generating a lot of buzz due to Pacquiao’s illustrious career and Anpo’s emerging presence in the MMA scene.
Pacquiao is 45 years old, and a lot smaller than his Japanese opponent, but the Filipino southpaw is no stranger to being the smaller man as he made a career of David versus Goliath match-ups.
Father time is the only one that is undefeated, and Pacquiao’s age could show and his ability to take a punch could diminish since he is well beyond his prime years.
This will be a great opportunity for Anpo to beat a legend and become a superstar. Even if its an exhibition bout, both fighters will try and knock each other out.
