Ben Hodge: “I would welcome another fight offer from KTMMA.”
On a stacked card, as England took on China at KTMMA 3, Ben Hodge proved his pedigree with a unanimous points win over the very tough and highly rated Guo Xi Chuang, a fighter known for his all-action style. Prior to the bout Ben felt that Chuang’s style would suit him and so it proved, with Hodge in dominant mood. In the first Ben was determined to make Chuang aware that he wasn’t the only one that carried power and immediately put his opponent on the back foot and it became clear to Ben that the Chinese fighter fid not want to take too many of his trademark big kicks. It seemed that the Chinese corner realised that their man had lost the first because he came out more determined in the second, as Ben puts it- “he seemed to have had a bit of a telling off in the corner, so came out trying to throw haymakers but as predicted he walked on to big kicks and knees.”
As a result when it came to round three it was obvious that Chuang needed a knockout and Ben and his corner were ready for some desperate all-out tactics from his opponent to ensure that there was no turnaround in fortune-“I used my footwork more, timed my shots and although I may have got caught with a couple I still took the round.” Ben not only took the round but the unanimous decision although he respected the power of the man in front of him-“He was strong, and had power in his punches, I could tell when I took them on my arms.” The difference between the two however, was the fact that Chuang “didn't seem to know what to do with my kicks, how to avoid them or counter from them” and because of this Ben “never felt in trouble. I was always confident of winning, before and during. I'm a smart fighter, I always use my brain. His style was all brawn, no brains, and a smart fighter will always pick apart someone like that, and I feel that's what I did.”
Ben was impressed with both the professionalism and atmosphere of the night and would certainly return to the KTMMA arena-“I loved the show, the promotion, and the fights were great. Again, very professional and I would welcome another fight offer from KTMMA.” As to the future, well short-term that question may have been answered on the night itself-“Well, on my way out of the ring, I was asked to fight in a 4-man tournament in Milan in April. There are a few details to be ironed out but I'm sure I'll be there.”
