Panpayak assesses Silviu Vitez's fight style ahead of their showdown at ONE Friday Fights 83

Before he gets his hands against the Romanian contender inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, Panpayak gave an initial assessment of his upcoming opponent.

In a recent interview, the 28-year-old athlete said that Vitez's style is similar to Thai athletes, as he explained:

"Silviu's fighting style is different from other foreign boxers who move in and out quickly. He almost stands still and trades one by one, like Thai fighters."
