Buakaw's stiff long guard is basically an intercepting jab and clinch entry, once the opponent manages to break through he met them with knees

[@ungarzhergesi9299]

Buakaw is an absolute legend.

[@DeathWithinTenSteps]

I had first seen Buakaw in the Toyota marathon. I had high hopes for him in that fight vs Jordan Tai and maaaan did he deliver. It’s like seeing a really good kickboxer face off against Darth Vader. His style is so imposing and threatening you can feel it through the screen. The fact that Buakaw takes a kick to the head and shrugs it off like a fly landed on him must’ve scared the shit out of Jordan.

1:34 Jesus Christ, just listen to the impact of his kick

[@LILHAWK123]

I'm glad someone said it. I was about to say the same thing. I had to rewatch it.

[@yogurtdrift9872]

Also the one at 3:35 as well!

[@ninjasrose1653]

I'm new to Muay Thai in terms of actually doing it. Something tells me long guard, may just be the best possible form of defense and way to close gap. Literally like having a multi tool.

[@trujilloroldancarlosarturo4281]

Its a good tool, I like It because It stop volume punching and its a great opener for low kicks, clinch, switch knee, a elbow or a cross but u have to be quick because It also leaves openings to you. I recommend to switch guards, use high gusrd, long guard and close guard . I would use the long guard just when the opponent Is throwing a lot of punches, specially hooks, jabs and crosses to clóset the distance, them you set up your Counter attack but use the other guards to protect you from kicks

[@clapdrix72]

Everything has weaknesses, and the long guard is no exception. Upper cuts, over hands and head kicks will all get get through a long guard and all are devastating, fight-ending strikes.

[@123footballbasket9]

Explain how overhands get through, as you can just parry by turning the elbow of the extended hand

[@mascherano1995]

Great job, thank you for this edition of the best muay thai fighter ever

[@clapdrix72]

Most entertaining, most famous and one of my personal all time favorites, but far from the GOAT.

[@DeathWithinTenSteps]

The fight against Vasily Shish is one of my favorites.

[@nicolasbiette5573]

Big Fan 👍👍👍💪💪💪💪👊👊👊👊

[@closeredge5198]

👍Great editing.... and awesome use of the long guard, especially that slip behind the neck to move into the clinch

[@TheFionah34]

that left hook was meeeean at the end

[@clapdrix72]

Man, you really can't beat the entertainment value of prime Buakaw

[@forendetta8164]

Por pramuk legend 🙏

[@AgentXddys]

After watching this several times, I don’t feel like this defense is as effective for others as it is for Buakaw. Most of the time Buakaw gets tagged with this defense. His body is just so tough and resilient that this looks like good defense.

[@CarlosXXI]

That was fast

[@sebroots6637]

Weh,je suis d'accord il est énorme Buakaw.Il a toujours eu de très très bonnes techniques de défence.Big Up MTS

[@anthonymarco2156]

Sa Long Gard contre le japonais au début l'exposait aux uppercuts quand même. La long gard (avec les mains en avant) est très intéressante en Muay Thai surtout quand t'as une grosse allonge. Ça te permet de placer des coudes, de rentrer en clinch plus facilement et d'annuler beaucoup d'attaque de tes adversaires surtout quand ils boxent en ligne.

[@sebroots6637]

@@anthonymarco2156 Weh weh c'est clair,on le voit d'ailleurs souvent choper la nuque de son adversaire et en profiter pour placer des genoux.Je l'ai toujours trouvé un peu raide et statique mais il a des techniques redoutables.

[@miguelaguirre5052]

Im honored to be the first to watch this amazing video :)

[@apinyachuaychareon7999]

Long guard combined with cross guard is very useful in muaythai rule where there is not much uppercut punch being used. So he has to close the gap to avoid those uppercut, in my humble opinion.

[@Stephen-uz8dm]

Uppercut is also dangerous when elbows are in the equation

[@trujilloroldancarlosarturo4281]

There are long guard examples on boxing as well, i prefer this defense since it's very proactive, u can control punch volumen, set up feints, control distance, block opponents vision and get out of range, obviously it has his disadvantages like uppercuts

[@cristobalcastillo8912]

exelente

[@agentsmith6570]

i also love the long guard variations and often ad my ultra annoying teep to it :D my sparring partners love it LUL

[@Sean-rawlins]

1:27 clinch setup into sweep

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

I believe in his K-1 days, he used the long guard stance ☝️ This style will be much needed in his bare knuckle fight against Saenchai. He will only be permitted 2 seconds in the clinch, making his clinch knee strikes useless. He will have to rely on long guard like back in his younger days ☝️ And focus on teeps, side teeps, high kicks, and flying knee strikes. Saenchai is fast, so Buakaw will need to use his long guard stance again ☝️

[@Sean-rawlins]

0:16 block knee

[@buakawbanchamek6792]

Iam The BEST

[@bobbyrayok]

Did he not get hit alot by that uppercut

[@tallst1]

A weakness of the long guard might be shots to the ribs

[@MERVILLE3]

He’s no Frank Deux 👀

[@felipe0102031]

Man is really CRAZY how he manage to dominate the top level of "kickBOXING" at that time with barely ZERO offensive boxing, specially on his first k-1 runs... The only "punch" he use to throw constantly was that stiff jab with the hand open inside the glove, and it was more like a push not a real punch.

[@altaevaa]

ни разу не видел его с разбитым лицом. может синяков не видно из-за смуглости его кожи

[@crauzcraun774]

Yoshihiro Sato he's only the one who K'O Buakaw🤫

[@choco_m9]

So 50/50 chance you'll get slept with an uppercut while you clinch or keep distance. Doesn't seem worth it 😂
