Kim Tae-in will participate in Gupne ROAD FC 072 on March 16 and play Japan's Sekino Taisei (25) in the first defense match of the heavyweight division.
Kim Tae-in, an amateur boxer, was a player who had never lost in all domestic events from Road FC Central League to championship. He won every game with an overwhelming performance that knocked out his opponent in a short time.
Kim Tae-in, who became a champion in the light heavyweight division, which he saw in 2022, went on to win the heavyweight division and beat Taisei in 2024, becoming a champion in the heavyweight division as well.
Kim Tae-in, who was riding high with five wins and no losses in mixed martial arts, was knocked out by Mikio Ueda (29), who is considered the No. 1 heavyweight in Japan, at 2:31 of the second round in an away match in RIZINFF Japan last year. It was Kim Tae-in's first defeat in his life.
Despite the first defeat, mockery and malicious comments were poured out against Kim Tae-in. This is because defeat is largely due to physical strength problems.
Kim Tae-in said "I'm embarrassed that I did it while I didn't properly build up my physical strength, and I wonder if I'd lose because I didn't prepare well, and I'd be broken here." A lot of people swear. I like to prove it, I like to shut my mouth, so I'm going to play defense right away."
Then "Mental part is good, too. I think I lost well. It's okay because it's a loss with a lot of problems on its own. It's right that I didn't prepare for my physical strength. 'We'll win in the first round, right?' He has complacent thoughts, so he says he lost well. It's a match that was forced to lose. (I) swing like this because adrenaline is secreted, so if I get hit, I'll go. You don't fall down by a swinging punch. You have to hit it accurately, but if you look closely, there are a lot of punches with your wrist. He added, "I also judged for myself the problems I am not good at here."
Leaving the loss behind, Kim Tae-in focuses on the first defense match of heavyweight. The opponent Taisei is a fast and sharp hit that is hard to see in the heavyweight division, and it is his second consecutive win after losing to Kim Tae-in, so he needs to step up his preparation.
Kim Tae-in "He was smart, fast, and good. I think you've grown a lot since you lost to me. I was surprised (to see him beat veteran Tatsuya Mizuno). "(I) got my act together, so I will prove it with my performance."
