HIS SKILLS ARE VERY SUPERB LIKE.VERY IMPRESSIVE.YOUR AN INCREDIBLE COMBATANT YOURSELF LAWRENCE.I THANK YOU FOR THIS VERY IMPORTANT VIDEO.
His ability to blend boxing techniques seamlessly into Muay Thai is amazing. Lawrence, your break down videos are the best I ever seen.
@@ryneagheilim9782 At times I had to double take as some of his movements, reads, on target strikes, and baiting looked exactly like Saenchai's.
He didn't win a belt, because champions don't want to fight him. Fear worked against him this time. 😅Getting a Gold medal is very much harder than getting a famous stadium belt. He is a self-taught ahead of his time fighter, a matrix fighter. He flows when he fight. Check his videos.

❤️🇹🇭
I didn't know that he actually beat the Bulgarian Serafim Todorov in the Olympics(I am Bulgarian myself) - the same Bulgarian that beat Floyd Mayweather for a gold medal - that gives you a perspective of how great he was to be so accomplished in both muay thai and boxing..
and I just saw that you mentioned that in the video description :D
it's actually very beautiful to see his fighting style....so relax and calm but in control. It's like he is dancing in the ring with his opponent
Somrak is great at baiting, he might be the best master baiter I’ve ever seen
Interesting choice of words there
Not sure how to feel about this comment
In my highschool drama club the props master was named was Josh Bates. Guess how he was introduced....
Thanks for this
Masterbaiter hhahahaha
IMO, there simply isn't a gym that is comparable to the heyday of Jocky Gym. A single gym that produced all the master tricksters and evasive fighters like Lerdsila, Somrak, Saenchai, Silapathai and the 3 or 4 Kaennorasings. Pipa Jockygym probably the single head trainer that has produced the greatest/most regarded nak muays in the past 20 - 25 years
He may be the smartest, but he's not the samartest
Hahahah
5555555
This is gold
Underrated comment🤣
I was about to say it was Samart but your comment is better lol
The most briliant no doubt. His truly skill is he will be able to read opponent skill wholely at the first round. So, he will always know how to deal with the rest of the fight. In his Muaythai time, the champions didn't want to fight with him, they afraid of losing their titles. So, he decided to go to Olympic and won the medal gold!
Saenchai's coach! Say no more!
All is said
Thank you so much man! Amazing video 🙏🏻💪🏻
Always calm and in control, without appearing stressed - 'fighting without fighting'.
Beautiful...what an incredible fighter and legend, thank you cor your videos
Awesome video 🤙🏻 Thanks for the upload 🙏🏻
thank you
Awesome work as usual, Lawrence. Thank you.
thank you for watching!
Man , not sure if I would train the same, or have as much motivation and passion for muay thai if it wssn't for your videos, and the people and stories you've shared with us. Again....My most sincere thank you!
I appreciate that! keep going!
Nice channel and a reference in muay Thai history 👍 👌 😀
This guy is the real deal! Legendary fighter and coach. Genius fight IQ
*Please Note: This could be wrong as I was told this by my Kru (ex south thailand champion in the 60's) a long time ago regarding Somrak*
He was ranked #1 in Lumpini and Radjadern but unable to get belts because back then the champions could choose who challenged for their belt. As Somrak had beaten everyone already, multiple times, they did not allow him to challenge for a belt and so he went without gaining any belts - 300+W with 11L's proves that he was the King without a belt.
He even beat Chamuekphet "The man of 9 belts" (4 lumpini, 5 radjadern) ! His greatest victory according to him.
The time was a mentality of "if my camp has a championship fighter and you want to challenge him for his belt, then you must let my fighters challenge your champions for their belts, too"
If your camp didn't have a belt then it'd be very hard to get the chance to compete for it without a large bet.
Take with a grain of salt. I need to verify it's accurate but I believe it is
thank you for sharing!
it true
The most gracious, joyful, shining champion...🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for the content, great as always, just wondering what song is playing for the last 3/4ths of the video? Can't seem to Shazam it
Thank you for the best music choices a symphony with the 8 limbs
I discovered him by watching his fight vs kamel jemmel on tv and have been so impresed !! I was 18 and still impresed by his incredible technic 👍
0:08 that slip to reverse elbow! I just saw Ortega use that against KZ a few days ago
Great fight
Suck a great underrated channel. I hope with the popularity of combat sports growing we will see the same growth on your channel. You deserve it.
thank you brother
Thais call Somrak Mr "not boasting" because although he's really good he often talks boastfully with overconfidence and when people laugh at him in response he'll say "I'm not boasting".
My Idol Samrak ❤️️🇹🇭
I've discovererd him against Kamel Jemel. Since that moment, he became one of my favorite fighters
Yo Lawrence my brother thank you for this video.it is greatly appreciated.i sincerely apologize about the comment that I made regarding that one individual who was slightly flirty.im not gay or anything,lol.
Should do a video about Boon Riang "the spear"
I still cant believe Van Damme was trying to fight this guy to revive his movie career. Somrak would've put a clinic on ol' Frank Dux. Lol
Hahahaha would’ve been funny
Oh boy lmao 😂
He seems to flow...going with rather than against...beautiful.
A fighter with a brave heart♥️
Wow. Great man!!!
much love
Respect for. MT legends...👍
Probably my favourite thai fighter ever, and on top of the list of ones I'd never want to face.
Somrak is one of the greatest fighters in all of combat sports. People, especially in the West, don't seem to know how special this man was.
Ppl really don’t know bro
Few year ago, he interview in a thailand variety show why he good at dodge in the fight. He said in joking that because he afraid of injury that why he try to avoid the opponent's strike lol
Saludos desde México my brother
Primero 💓
cheers
The legend thailand in thailand it is called the crownless king because the chapion doesn’t want to fight 80s-90s he become a sanchai coach As i am thai person I consider him a legend in the Muay Thai World Thai people at that time were very accepting❤🙏
ตอนเด็กวันที่สมรักต่อยผมจำได้ถนนเงียบบางคนจับกลุ่มฟังวิทยุ นั่งรวมตัวกันดูทีวีปรับเสาหนวดกุ้งกันกว่าจะชัด เเต่ก็คุ้มครับ
WOW! rare to see such a masterful mix of boxing and Muay Thai, also an olympic gold 🏅
one of my favorite muay thai fighters
Met somluck and samart at tiger! Awesome!
Khun Somrak, a true Thai legend...
Cant believe its only gotten 182k views till now,this is a lesson for the young kids to learn and hopefully master his techniques
I'm 99% certain he did a seminar at my old Muay Thai Gym Saekson Janjra's
you should do a video on him next he was in Black Belt Magazine seven time world champion Muay Thai Hall of Fame and I'm pretty sure this is one of the very few people to ever beat him as he was actually out maneuvering (Saekson) out doing him when they had a seminar way back in 2008 or 9
please do a video on Saekon Janjira !!!
Because he’s no opponent ,So he don’t have a champion. “No one want to fight with him.”
He’s my legend 🇹🇭🇹🇭
His counter with those spinning elbows are beautiful to watch
very
I couldn't remember where I seen him from until you mentioned that movie A prayer before dawn. He was the prison gym trainer.
Indeed hahahaha
@@LawrenceKenshin I heard of him but just never check him out until now. Thanks man great vid
I am from India.. I love this channel...
❤️❤️
When “he is saenchai’s coach” came up that was all the evidence I needed.
Ikr lol
legend of muay thai 🇹🇭
Would love a breakdown of Loma v Lopez.
Cheers
That was such a good fight.
Somrak and samart are the few fighters whos knows how to incoporate boxing in muay thai.great muay femur fighters.thank u lawrence
🙏🙏
in thai we call this smart stlye all you have to do is have a good brain and good eyesight
In Thailand Somrak has a plenty tactical and so fast in muaythai and after that he chang hisway to boxing in Olimpic and got the gold metal one
indeed one of the best!
สุดยอด มากจ้า.ยอดสีมือ.แห่งสยามประเทศ
How TF could he win a gold medal in Boxing being OLDER??? This guy was a prodigy if he would've star boxing early i think he would've won múltiple medals. The corruption in Muay Thai has ruined so much talent over the last 30 decades
absolutely wouldve been amazing boxer
i will tell you this being a boxer in thai if you are not the champions then you will be poor cos in thai it has less boxing match than muay thai and about the payment
example samart older brother kongthorranee he was a muaythai champions and he change to boxing he always say to this day that he regret
and even you are a very good boxer and a champion like kaosai galaxy who win wba 19time yeah you will rich but not that rich like an american because in that year people was only interesting in heavywight
the payment on lightwight was pay veryless kaosai also saying this till this day
back to somrak he was a also boxer in teenage because the millitary have a millitary boxing leauge almost every poor people that good in sport was millitary officer because the millitary will pay you if you play for them
so now he was a lieutenant in navy he also said he was offer to be lieutenant comander but he decline because he will have to work everyday in office
Shows the importance of brain 🧠 training! What a legend! 👏 💥
Why didn't the fight with Van Damme go through? would have been fun to see.
He would MERK Van Damme.
This seems like what old school Muy Thai was about. Beautiful style. Very underrated
he is not underrated in thai but again you guys dont know about him
he was a superstars in thailand he play many movies also singer even the way he talk it very hard to understand hehe
when he was young he beat the shit out of every body so no champions was respond to his call because the champions also scared to lose
hello from Vietnam
ถ้าหาก "สมรักษ์"ฝึกซ้อมเท่ากันกับนักมวยคนอื่น และมีน้ำหนักที่เท่ากัน พวกคุณคิดว่า จะมีนักมวยไทย กี่คนที่จะเอาชนะ "สมรักษ์"ได้บ้าง ในตอนนี้ก็ยังนึกชื่อไม่ออกเลย "ไม่ได้โม้"โม้อมตะ"
Shame Mayweather was screwed out if a W in his fight at those Olympics. Him and Somrak for the Gold medal would have been a pleasure to watch and a real crossover spectacle.
Somrak is what we called, King withouth crown, or people champion.
Indeed
A Gold medal in Olympic boxing doesn't come easy.
😲 ❤🙌 i love all martial arts but i dont train but i would love too
Beautiful ❤️
You are!
His fight against Buakaw Pisitchet is a war
Watching him is always fun even when he was defeated. 🤣
One of the few who defeated Floyd Mayweather. What a genius
Yesssss
@Asian Mansplainer they fought in finals of Atlanta Olympics 1996.
@วณิพก คนจร my apologies. I was misinformed
คนนี้สุดยอดที่สุดแล้ว
ผมยกให้เป็นเบอร์2รองจากสามารถสายตาดีเชิงมวยพริ้วไหวมากท่ายากเยอะ
Samart, Lerdsila and Saenchi put the art into martial arts.......and all from one gym.
Somrak is Saenchai's boxing teacher.
Can we call this golden era? This is time where fighters with technical skills win.
yes indeed
in thai we also call it golden era
Is that book available through diamond?
7-32 year old
more than 655 fight
Never injured in the ring
Somrak is forever a hero
Somrak or Samart? Whats your opinion? I love Somrak
I've seen his fight oftentimes but never known what fight that he full of fitness, it seems he lack of it all the times and his opponents can do nothing
Is he still training people?? I would love to learn from this legend!
Think so!
Nope.
He stop teaching for good, might do little seminae here and there but not class teaching.
Mostly doing TV appearances, hanging out with Samart and khowsai galaxy ( 3 of them are bestfriend) and spending time with2 of his kids.
You could follow him at his family channel on TH-cam ( I think it's Kumsing family channel.. I think 🤔🤔🤔)
@@auushowkaze *heart torn* 😭 thanks for letting me know though man
@@theomen49 yeah that it he was also a military officer rank lieutenant
now he also apply for general election
My no.1 favorite fighter. His daughter also a TH-camr with 2 m scribers.
The Master of misdirection saenchai
and The Master of Baiting Goddam das cool
For sure
Hello lawrence, how can i get saenchai free ebook ?
I've already submitted my email btw. Thanks.
check your spam folder!
Thailand is well known about Muay Thai.This man the god of Muay Thai. Now you can imagine how god he is.
Jean claude van damme? Yes he is 😁👍
He may not have had the chance to fight for those prestigious stadium belts, but thru his teachings, others would go on to do it! :)
No promoter would put him on a fight against their Champions, to risky and little payoff cus nobody would make bet against Somruk, and many fighters don't really want to go up the canvas with him, the way Somruk fight cause more damage then most, not just your body being destroy but your Ego and confidence as well and in some cases the damage does reach to the career aspect of his opponents also, it just the way he smile when giving you both pain and shame.
Wow!
I never know he is fighter cuz i just know him from movie drama and other
I just know he is a actor XD
which stance would he adopt? southpaw?
Van Damme never really wanted no smoke.
Can you imagine that? He would destroy him haha
background music?
สุดยอดในยุคของเขาล่ะ พี่บาส
Guys go check him out in a movie called born to fight
He was a Muay Thai master. Fighting in a boxing match wouldn’t matter much to him. The problem was he used only 20% of his power because he couldn’t kick, knee, or elbow.
Great video bro
Do you know where he is teaching now?
Or no longer do classes?
I think he has his own gym
@@LawrenceKenshin
I thought the same, but in a video I read that it had closed. In fact, nothing is found but an outdated facebook
Thanks
@@camiloraap maybe if you are lucky he will opem seminar with samart
but yeah not this year for sure
He is in the movie isn't he? The movie about canadian prisoner in Thailand
Yes
彼は漫画にも出てきましたよね
空手貴公子なんたら
All these martial art pages not one ever mentions Dany bill. Dude was a fucking beast. He beat multiple muay thai champs and has a 115 and 11 record. He was champ for 7 years straight beating all.the top guys in his division
Lol wtf.
0:10 Uraken ...!!!!!!
