Because hes hand can't reaching buakaw head, its common sense, its not tactics, except your taller than buakaw you can play with jabs and long range 🤦♂️
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.
Holy shit, Virgil is a beast of a boss! To give Buakaw a hard time like that without kicks is incredible. Think of the great fighters Buakaw has wrecked in his discipline......and Virgil looked quite fine. Best fight ever.
Jesus...what a heart that south african boxer had against buakaw. Just eating all the knees/kicks and still boxes the match to a draw against arguably the greatest of all time.
Well. I watched a documentary about first MMA competitions. There was no MMA then, so everyone fought his own style. I'm not sure that any Muay Thai fighters were there but wrestlers were the best. Boxers had no chance for a clear punch.
I won't never understand why people insist on saying "boxe is noble martial art, the only one, the true one".... Bruuhh, we have literally 10x strength in legs than arms, we have them, why don't use that?!
since boxe it's perfectionism in the striking, while other disciplines are more dispersive under a technical point of view and never reach that level in it, but i agree that generally speaking specially thai is more complete and generally more dangerous
I think the boxers would have done much better if they adapted their guard in order to practise checking kicks, even without having to kick themselves. Also im sad to see all the missed opportunities to use footwork to avoid kicks and do counters, but its very difficult just from the brute force of those kicks
They wernt trained to avoid kicks its not easy they could kick you to the body and if you think ut the head youre moving into it. Easy broken ribs and even with adapted guard its not easy to check legs kicks at all
Those low kicks though. In a street fight without being bound by rules a boxer would waste a mauy thai quicker than you could blink. That why bruce lee had difficulties with western boxers he learnt to box himself.

Actually, you’re wrong. Muay Thai is 95% fancy leg kicks I can catch you off balance with and 5% boxing. I know this because I’ve trained it before and didn’t really like it because I figured boxing was the much more technical fighting style and had more sparring.
@@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.

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.

This would make more sense back when boxing allowed elbows, headbutts, clinches and takedowns, and before muay thai had rounds, gloves, and boxing style punches
Boxing is not safe, definitely not safe, there are many cases when in the 50s when takedowns , elbows and many more were allowed in boxing ( they were always the part of boxing) people used to get brain damage and sometimes used to die because of brutal punches elbows and takedowns... When these were banned from boxing to make it legal and safe. It got worse and worse, in the 90s Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson there who still were dominant and now.... We have people with weak ass legs , torso and faces fighting each other.
@@HeLLBoy950 umm what are you talking about? Elbows and takedowns haven't been "allowed" in boxing since the bareknuckle days when it was basically anything goes.

there's a huge gap between muay thai and boxing. Muay Thai is kind of the superior Martial art than boxing because of the kicks and elbows, and generally the kicks, they have a longer range than boxing, yeah sure boxing punches hit hard but for muay thai, you can just keep your guard up while landing kicks, learned this when a 2 friends of mine decided to see which is better, one is muay thai and the other is boxing.
he does have alot of experience in Kickboxing, he had 20 Kickboxing fights with 10 K.OS He was a very good boxer and good kickboxer. He knew how to dutchblock kicks, you see that
Something everyone forgets is kick boxers are really open to right hands and hooks becuase of their stance so if a boxer gets in he has to work it or else get his legs kicked off from under him
@bo xer Started in 83 after shotokan as a kid. Nobody was 100% but certainly got hit unlike today. Insurance for clubs is a major factor these days. My own life insurance had questions when I said I still train. Like I said, Muay Thai is another ball game all together yet in training even that isn't 100%, nobody would train these days if it was
This is why boxer will never challenge the mma fighters..Mayweather fought with Tensin Nasukawa, who is shorter weighs lesser than him, in a boxing match. I wonder if he, Mayweather, dare to fight Tensin in a mma match where kicks, punches and locking are allowed.
You guys always talk this nonsense. MMA practice and use boxing. Boxers dont practise MMA. Meaning MMA have experience in boxing while boxers have any experience in MMA. So clearly the MMA guys have a major advantage. Boxing isnt a complete all encompassing fighting style. Anyone with half a brain already know this. Thats why i root for boxing. Its CLEARLY the underdog. I dont get the hate for the CLEAR UNDERDOG.
Boxing is not equipped to take on a puncher/kicker. I would not advise it. Sometimes, it's better to understand what you're built for and stay in that lane.
I think its easy to see that Boxing is a highly specialized way to fight, by far the best hands of all fighters will be Boxers but in a less restriktiv fight you definitly see how Kicks and knees change the distance and Timing

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.

@@edgaromarmorales8312 but baukaw and Masato are also conditioned to take punches to.. Also a few leg kicks would take away pacmans speedy leg movement and make him stiff from fatigue Still wonder what would happen if let's say Gervonta Davis and Rodtang fought in a kickboxing match under kickboxing rules
Great video. I really believe if the boxer had a basic understanding of Maui Thai and how to check and avoid leg kicks he could have done a bit better. Either way amazing performance on both sides and a great example as to why you should train multiple arts
If the boxer has an understand of Muay Thai. The boxer will fight more like an Muay thai fighter than a boxer. Because boxer moves in mma discipline can be punishmen. The guard need to be diferent nothing of rolls, etc, etc.
Ray Mercer was 43 years old and 12 years removed from being WBO champion. His opponent, Musashi, was 32. I love Muay Thai yet this is a misleading video. Mercer was able to go the distance at 43; think of the damage he would have done if both of them were 32. Arthur Williams was 40 and his opponent, Alexy was 26! Neither sport is better. A truly top boxer could potentially end the fight long before succumbing to kicks. The sports overlap. And the non-overlapping portions of both sports are valuable.
lol williams was cruiser when cruiser limit was 86 kg and he was a bad champions, nobody s favorite boxer lol with 39 yo and no more champion, ignashov natural superheavyweight lol take prime lennox lewis vs ignashov and lets see who win, this is all old and bad champions vs the best kick/thaiboxers , it's like thay lose they re mind when they see mayweathe beat a japanese and then support this video lol. 48 yo boxer win kickboxing and mma fights this is true !
@@iROChakri actually Tyson, joe Frazier, Foreman, and other brawler boxing champion would dominate muay thai fighter, Reason causes Tyson is a close fighter, he will close the distance and give a straight or an uppercut and boom KO, a punch from one of hardest hitter in boxing is a no to all fighter
The boxers' legs are not trained to take kicks. Despite that, it required repeated low leg kicks to impede the boxers' movements. A street fight would last shorter. So while the high kicks, punches, elbows and knees could be very effective, I m wondering the effectiveness of low kicks.
@@jonnystevens3774 Yes...I do agree for a axe type chopping kicks that Muay Thai specialises in. That is why this question. A person with good quads and calves can take absorb a lot of force. Even if he is a non Martial Artist and a regular Gym goer with strong legs. I am not saying that the Gym guy wins the fight. I am saying, the Gym guy has a chance to close the distance without taking any major damage.
Low kicks would be far more effective, and very low risk. I compete in mma and there's nothing worse than facing a guy with good low kicks, kicking mid thigh hurts but what hurts the most is a kick on the tip of the quad right above the knee. Even on fresh legs 1 good chop of a shin to the quad tip is enough to ruin the fight. The next brutal kick is the upward kick to the spleen/liver 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 that thing suck
The South African boxer did well in not giving Buakaw any space or time to throw leg kicks also blocking and weathering throw those keens and I do not know why so many people are saying Buakaw did not throw knees when he threw plenty of knees he even tried to need him in the head one time but failed he also threw plenty of kicks and he threw a few leg kicks in the later rounds because he was not able to throw them in the beginning because he was getting crowded and pressure
Everyone saying that boxer only did good because leg locks weren’t allowed, the boxer had gloves on his main weapon - to make this fair Buakaw would need to wear shin pads
@@thanesveingying3156 There's a difference between Muai Thai and Kickboxing. We're on TH-cam, there are already many videos explaining that if you're interesting to get it, enjoy
I fought a handicap match as a boxer vs a kickboxing. Being a kickboxer too I knew what to look out for. As a boxer he should have stayed inside and fought in the guy's shadow.
Don’t underestimate boxing. If Kalakoda arrived to his fight with Buakaw, it means he beat some kickboxers before. Also, Andy Hug lost a K-1 fight to Mike Bernardo. Francois Botha beat Peter Aerts and Jerome Le Banner in K-1 fights.
I wonder how well a mauythai fighter would go a boxer whose style is based on the historical pugilism from England when it was a complete art included low kicks as well
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.
If you would remove clinch rule, then the kicks would lose all the meaning, every time he gets close they hug and break and all over again, let them clinch for a while, then I think it would have different outcomes.
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
@@K9Y750 street fights are sometimes illegal and also fights happen in jails with no rules, so you can give a guy lowblow, bite his ear and do anything so fights in jail are hard and if u win it, u a real fighter mate
Lo cierto es que ninguno de esos boxeadores era de elite o estaba en su mejor momento. Sigo creyendo que un boxeador de élite en su mejor momento y entendiendo cómo pelean los peleadores de Muay Thai podría vencerlos sin problema. Pacquiao en su mejor momento podría haber vencido a Buakaw.
The biased muay thai fighters don't realise that, they think boxers are skinny, fat fighters, boxing had elbows, clinches and takedowns, that was real boxing but they are banned, but still some legends like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson were there to still dominate people
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. Bare knuckle boxers will have a better chance because their fists are conditioned making the punches harder, faster and more damaging. Remember, Muay Thai fighters condition their legs. Boxers do not condition their knuckles.
And there are still some who believe that boxing is superior. It cannot be superior because it lacks elbow strikes, knees and kicks, plus projections. Not even loudmouth Mayweather would have a chance. When an experienced Muay Thai fighter begins to work with low kicks (which Buakaw did not do), the boxer begins to fall down his pillars. You destroy a boxer's pillars, he runs out of air and in pain unknown to him, and the fight is already decided.
52 blocks is a type of boxing, it was formed in prison and 52 blocks also includes elbow clinch and knees. So 52 blocks takes 52 blocks vs boxing vs muay thai
To be honest, it's very hard for boxing to win because it's like fighting between a guy with one knife and a guy with two knifes.

Nice to see that a shifty angle-cutting forward moving boxer has a way of overcoming teeps and low kicks.
he does have alot of experience in Kickboxing, he had 20 Kickboxing fights with 10 K.OS He was a very good boxer and good kickboxer. He knew how to dutchblock kicks, you see that
Boxers has sure really good endurance
Something everyone forgets is kick boxers are really open to right hands and hooks becuase of their stance so if a boxer gets in he has to work it or else get his legs kicked off from under him
I went from years of kickboxing to Muay Thai, those thigh kicks absolutely destroyed me. Had a bruise from thigh to knee. Eventually got easier
@bo xer Started in 83 after shotokan as a kid. Nobody was 100% but certainly got hit unlike today. Insurance for clubs is a major factor these days. My own life insurance had questions when I said I still train. Like I said, Muay Thai is another ball game all together yet in training even that isn't 100%, nobody would train these days if it was
This is why boxer will never challenge the mma fighters..Mayweather fought with Tensin Nasukawa, who is shorter weighs lesser than him, in a boxing match. I wonder if he, Mayweather, dare to fight Tensin in a mma match where kicks, punches and locking are allowed.
You already know the answer to this.
The match was fake. Tenshin is not that weak to get knocked down with those lazy punches.
Fake fight. It was such bad acting.
You guys always talk this nonsense.
MMA practice and use boxing. Boxers dont practise MMA.
Meaning MMA have experience in boxing while boxers have any experience in MMA. So clearly the MMA guys have a major advantage.
Boxing isnt a complete all encompassing fighting style. Anyone with half a brain already know this.
Thats why i root for boxing. Its CLEARLY the underdog. I dont get the hate for the CLEAR UNDERDOG.

@@dilbydoe4868 and out of their primes
Boxing is not equipped to take on a puncher/kicker. I would not advise it. Sometimes, it's better to understand what you're built for and stay in that lane.
I think its easy to see that Boxing is a highly specialized way to fight, by far the best hands of all fighters will be Boxers but in a less restriktiv fight you definitly see how Kicks and knees change the distance and Timing
El que peleó contra Buakaw increíble estrategia y muy bien planteada la pelea y habilidad del boxeador, de igual manera esto es Boxeo VS KickBoxing no contra Muay Thai, no hay trabajo de clinch ni codos jajaj es solo Kick de K1
Era también peleador de muay Thai nunca fue boxeador es ruso en su biografía dice peleador de muay Thai en muay Thai en superior al boxeo .......
Y no le permitueron patadas en las piernas, si no buakay lo mata

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.
I agree totally, they all are boxers out of their prime. Pacquiao with his speed and leg moves would put Masato and Buakaw out of combat soon
@@edgaromarmorales8312 Pacquiao ? What a joke Haha These comment are so funny They would be dead immediatly If they fight in Muay Thai rule If boxing is really work against Kickboxing or MuayThai why no one use it right now ? You guy just try to find excused for them 🤣🤣 So loser
@@edgaromarmorales8312 but baukaw and Masato are also conditioned to take punches to..
Also a few leg kicks would take away pacmans speedy leg movement and make him stiff from fatigue
Still wonder what would happen if let's say Gervonta Davis and Rodtang fought in a kickboxing match under kickboxing rules
Exactly
@@zerragut2969 not conditioned as a boxer is to take punches and by far and remember that boxer always punch harder than a kickboxer or thai boxer..
The last fight was the best💯💪💪
so he's doing muay thai but can't use his elbows or is he allowed?
Great video. I really believe if the boxer had a basic understanding of Maui Thai and how to check and avoid leg kicks he could have done a bit better. Either way amazing performance on both sides and a great example as to why you should train multiple arts
He won’t do shit still
he does have alot of experience in Kickboxing, he had 20 Kickboxing fights with 10 K.OS He was a very good boxer and good kickboxer
If the boxer has an understand of Muay Thai. The boxer will fight more like an Muay thai fighter than a boxer. Because boxer moves in mma discipline can be punishmen. The guard need to be diferent nothing of rolls, etc, etc.
Ray Mercer was 43 years old and 12 years removed from being WBO champion. His opponent, Musashi, was 32. I love Muay Thai yet this is a misleading video. Mercer was able to go the distance at 43; think of the damage he would have done if both of them were 32. Arthur Williams was 40 and his opponent, Alexy was 26! Neither sport is better. A truly top boxer could potentially end the fight long before succumbing to kicks. The sports overlap. And the non-overlapping portions of both sports are valuable.
lol williams was cruiser when cruiser limit was 86 kg and he was a bad champions, nobody s favorite boxer lol with 39 yo and no more champion, ignashov natural superheavyweight lol take prime lennox lewis vs ignashov and lets see who win, this is all old and bad champions vs the best kick/thaiboxers , it's like thay lose they re mind when they see mayweathe beat a japanese and then support this video lol. 48 yo boxer win kickboxing and mma fights this is true !
What these fights show is how both styles are effective. But it's effectiveness depends on the person using it.
Would have loved to see tyson in k1😁
I love Tyson but the leg kicks would ultimately hurt him 😭
He would say no one bye to his boxing career as his legs got destroyed or his face got disfigured by brutal elbows lmfao
Not enough money for him to switch over to kickboxing
Now that would have been amazing
@@iROChakri actually Tyson, joe Frazier, Foreman, and other brawler boxing champion would dominate muay thai fighter,
Reason causes Tyson is a close fighter, he will close the distance and give a straight or an uppercut and boom KO, a punch from one of hardest hitter in boxing is a no to all fighter

@@FijiMuayThai vinaka va levu brother
If Elbows were allowed those boxers would’ve been a trouble. It would’ve been a clinch an elbow clinic.
Yo that beat hard asf🔥🔥
Buakaw fought under Kickboxing rule or K1 not Muay Thai rule
not enough weapons.. imagine if they allowed elbows.. good night
Ironically, now every compliments to boxer are more like "doing a good job at surviving from muay thai".
😅😅😅
Kalakoda handles business in there though...without kicking once
Muay Thai Attack the lag. = แตะพับนอก (Tæa phạb nxk) / It's very dangerous if not trained in defense.
The boxers' legs are not trained to take kicks. Despite that, it required repeated low leg kicks to impede the boxers' movements. A street fight would last shorter. So while the high kicks, punches, elbows and knees could be very effective, I m wondering the effectiveness of low kicks.
One single leg kick can end a street fight if you can't stand you can't fight
@@jonnystevens3774 Yes...I do agree for a axe type chopping kicks that Muay Thai specialises in. That is why this question. A person with good quads and calves can take absorb a lot of force. Even if he is a non Martial Artist and a regular Gym goer with strong legs. I am not saying that the Gym guy wins the fight. I am saying, the Gym guy has a chance to close the distance without taking any major damage.
@@munimsatter2940 I have to ask before I even get into this - have you gotten your legs kicked before?
Low kicks would be far more effective, and very low risk. I compete in mma and there's nothing worse than facing a guy with good low kicks, kicking mid thigh hurts but what hurts the most is a kick on the tip of the quad right above the knee. Even on fresh legs 1 good chop of a shin to the quad tip is enough to ruin the fight. The next brutal kick is the upward kick to the spleen/liver 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 that thing suck
@@munimsatter2940 in a street fight I would be going for the knee not the thigh
0:59 Bro had to feel if his head was still there 😂😂😂😂😂
The theme seems to be ageing ex champions or domestic level fighters versus what appears to be prime muai Thai fighters:
The South African boxer did well in not giving Buakaw any space or time to throw leg kicks also blocking and weathering throw those keens and I do not know why so many people are saying Buakaw did not throw knees when he threw plenty of knees he even tried to need him in the head one time but failed he also threw plenty of kicks and he threw a few leg kicks in the later rounds because he was not able to throw them in the beginning because he was getting crowded and pressure
MODERN BOXERS ARE NOT TOUGH
LEGENDS ARE GONE.OLD SCHOOL WAS BEST
If you dont believe it compare mayweather with mike tyson 😂
The boxers in this video r literally terrible this is a bad comparison
Everyone saying that boxer only did good because leg locks weren’t allowed, the boxer had gloves on his main weapon - to make this fair Buakaw would need to wear shin pads
All amazing fights. Except the last one
Masato isn't a Thai fighter, He's from Japanese Kickboxing.

I don't think so. @@namadepannamabelakang1671
When Buakaw go for your legs. You fall .
Wow that boxer fighting buakaw. Wow. Amazing. Look at him giving buakaw a hard time. Wow. Just amazing.
Wow amazing
I fought a handicap match as a boxer vs a kickboxing. Being a kickboxer too I knew what to look out for. As a boxer he should have stayed inside and fought in the guy's shadow.
Yea best a boxer can do is rush, usually tire them out. I myself almost dropped from a knee to the leg though.
Go watch Shannon Briggs someone with alittle more skill these guys vs a kick boxing champ
Amazing 😯😯😯
Boxer got into this kind of fights for money!
There is no way that boxer can win the fight.
Don’t underestimate boxing. If Kalakoda arrived to his fight with Buakaw, it means he beat some kickboxers before. Also, Andy Hug lost a K-1 fight to Mike Bernardo. Francois Botha beat Peter Aerts and Jerome Le Banner in K-1 fights.
It’s Francis Botha, not Francois.
If you think there is no way, you don't know what a fight really is.
Prime Mike Tyson would destroy them all :)
👍🏼👌🏼👏🏼
It looks like a regular leg day for muay thai fighters
Against low level boxers
Buakaw clearly won in my opinion but it was super impressive for that boxer to keep it up after all those knees. Heart of a lion

To those who do not know: Low kicks are banned in the match w Vigil vs Buakaw for some reason
I wonder how well a mauythai fighter would go a boxer whose style is based on the historical pugilism from England when it was a complete art included low kicks as well
Nah I think that was Greek
Greeks did have pankration,. But historical english pugilism from early 1800s and early was a complete art
Then the boxers wouldn't be as specialised in head movement and other boxer stuff
@@onyxgan9923 your point
the boxer fighting buakaw was creating strategies to block the kicks with his forearms. smart as hell.

Ok
take away the arms too and you'll just have a stump
take away the eyes and you'll have a blind stump

That boxer vs. Buakaw is tough
He take a lot of knee, but manage to walk down Buakaw
What if that not Buakaw
Boxer win
The boxer was the real warrior
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.
Boxers Don't want kicks in the Ring, Because they know they would lose.
If you would remove clinch rule, then the kicks would lose all the meaning, every time he gets close they hug and break and all over again, let them clinch for a while, then I think it would have different outcomes.
@@MsEagleboy Muay thai have elbows, knees, clinch, sweeps and throws. Same outcome.
Much respect to Rey Mercer for constantly going out of his comfort zone.
We dont have 2005...low kicks not work in boxers in 2021 :P
Wtf 😂😂
MMA >> Muay Thai > Kickboxing >>> Boxing
Mercer was an old man, long past his prime when he went into kickboxing
If he done it 10 years earlier he could have been a great imo.
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

Lo cierto es que ninguno de esos boxeadores era de elite o estaba en su mejor momento. Sigo creyendo que un boxeador de élite en su mejor momento y entendiendo cómo pelean los peleadores de Muay Thai podría vencerlos sin problema. Pacquiao en su mejor momento podría haber vencido a Buakaw.
The biased muay thai fighters don't realise that, they think boxers are skinny, fat fighters, boxing had elbows, clinches and takedowns, that was real boxing but they are banned, but still some legends like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson were there to still dominate people

@@BATMAN_06 yes, but they didn't help that much when boxers use to have good dedication and as I said in my previous comment, elbows, takedowns etc
Lol no way . Even prime Ali and Tyson would lose to Muay thai
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. Bare knuckle boxers will have a better chance because their fists are conditioned making the punches harder, faster and more damaging. Remember, Muay Thai fighters condition their legs. Boxers do not condition their knuckles.
Virgil kalakoda was the son of mike kalakoda mike bernardos trainer so hes not JUST a boxer hes obviously very well versed in kickboxing knowledge
And there are still some who believe that boxing is superior.
It cannot be superior because it lacks elbow strikes, knees and kicks, plus projections.
Not even loudmouth Mayweather would have a chance.
When an experienced Muay Thai fighter begins to work with low kicks (which Buakaw did not do), the boxer begins to fall down his pillars.
You destroy a boxer's pillars, he runs out of air and in pain unknown to him, and the fight is already decided.
52 blocks is a type of boxing, it was formed in prison and 52 blocks also includes elbow clinch and knees.
So 52 blocks takes 52 blocks vs boxing vs muay thai
