Really huge respect for the boxer champ who fought with Buakaw, the muay thai champ! He nailed it! It’s not actually easy and even unfair to match a boxer with a kickboxer/ muaythai (but ofc this is because of the boxer’s will to enter this kickboxing tournament) However, the boxer still managed to cope well, pushed, and gave a hard time for Buakaw. I can see the determination and tenacity of the boxer. It was a hard-fought win for Buakaw by Judges’ decision. He couldn’t K.O or T.K.O the boxer.

@@kykise1395 I’ve also trained in Thai. All schools are different. Some focus on more boxing, others more on the clinch. It really depends on the Kru and their style of fighting. If your going to a school however and all it’s teaching is “fancy leg kicks” I would highly question that school. For example at the school I trained in yes roundhouse kicks were taught, however there was also a high focus on boxing, knees, clinch and elbows as well as sparring. There have been for instance Thai boxers who have crossed over to boxing and became champions in a relatively short period of time, after adapting to the western style. Due to their background in Thai. Thais also do extremely well while crossing over to Kickboxing, which has a higher influence on boxing, as it eliminates, for the most part knees and elbows.

Put padding on the legs too and you soften the blows aswel as slow them down, the same way the boxing gloves slow down the boxer.

Musashi has to be the worst muay thai fighter I have ever seen. He fought like the guy who just joined the gym last month. A real professional muay thai fighter would have finished the fight in the first round no question Musashi's skills are by far the worst I have ever seen.

[@الفيلسوفالعلاك]

Boxing only make use of throwing punches. Meanwhile Muay Thai use kicks, knees, elbows and throwing punches. In a street fight with two professional fightings, Muay Thai would beat boxing everyday. When it comes to amateur fightings, it can swing on any side as it would heavily depends on the individual

The worst part of it is the surprising anguish these boxers have to wake up to the next day when they try to stand up out of bed and the blood rushes to their legs, bringing horrific cramp-like pain and the inability to walk. And to think this was before calf kicks really took on a wider usage. If they would have had to take a few of them on each leg on top of the thigh kicks it would have added to their agony both immediately and for the week after.

In this type of exhibition you will never see the best boxers in the world in their prime (Mayweather, Pacquiao, De la Hoya, Tyson, Naoya Inoue, etc.) because they fight for millions and they will not lower themselves to fight in those types of fights, then they are going to take former world champion boxers or unknown boxers to fight against good Muay Thai fighters (because they are not as highly valued) so those types of results will be common.

[@dyrengariknuas2305]

Boxer win

[@zoomermcboomer4771]

Muay Thai is obviously gonna win against just a pure boxing style. 8 weapons vs only 2! Even though Muay Thai fighters are tall and square on making them easy to hit for straight punches, their kicks make it almost impossible to hit them without receiving some punishment. Round after round those leg kicks will slow down even the most agile boxer chopping him down like you would drop a tree, from the bottom. Eliminating the legs makes the boxer way slower and ultimately ineffective. You can't outlast a Muay Thai guy, but that fighter who fought buakaw was a beast - i've noticed that the lighter, smaller fighters can take the shots better than kicks from heavyweights.

[@xRoid1]

Clinching was highly effective too! He basically nullified his boxing while dealing damage with knees

[@TamizharasanKumar77]

It's funny how muay thai fan boys claim that if elbows and low kicks are allowed than boxers won't stand a chance. If they fight in a street with no rules, boxers would come out on the top most of the time. Because on the streets it's hard to pull of these crazy clinches, low kicks, mid kicks etc. Kicks can be easily countered by catching and dragging which is illegal in these competitions. On the streets, the guy who throws the first few vicious punches wins and survives.

I'm 41 years old and I am boxing for over 24 years Peekaboo style, I'm a middle weight 186cm, 82 kg. I was locked up for over 10 years, but honestly I beat up every Muay Thai or Kick Boxer with a first left jab, agressive right punch to their ears, a left in the sight belly and upper cut or heavy right cross. The problem with Muay Thais is, that you can't fight against them on distance or you make them tiered, because they never go on very often over 3 rounds. On the street I used my jiu jitsu skills allso. If you are fearless in fighting a combatant peekaboo is the best, if it doesn't work for the first time, make the other one tired these guys have not usually the condition of a boxer. I was a depth collector and also guys came with weapons. The south African guy did it well but his punches weren't effective enough
