His Coach Deepak Rai told from Mumbai this morning that Taluk Hilli can do much better in next National Super Fight League owned by Jhon Abraham.
Taluk could keep a relentless pace that is not common for such big guys. While his opponents may be huffing and puffing, he was able to recover between rounds and move like a guy that should be in a lighter weight class.
How fortunate is that! With these experiences, there is no surprise that his grappling, locking and powerful kicks skills is a major part of his success, Shi-Yomi District Olympic Association president Aling Pinggam said.
Looking into his background, he is black belt in Taekwondo and got the Mixed Martial Arts training under Maria Yabu and Deepak Rai in Bangalore.
