I am not a huge fan of BKFC boxing, but BKFC muay thai...I would pay for. Are you guys willing to do Lethwei as well?
This is AWESOME!!!
muay thai bkfc is the best…Buakaw lost 10KG and saenchai gained weight for this fight...imagine if buakaw goes full power, saenchai couldnt do a thing so buakaw was holding back as to not hurt his friend...both are 40+ so there were no age advantage here…
เพึ่งตื่น😊 เมื่อคืนรอไม่ไหวค่ะ🎉❤
Dramat ustawka
These guys are 40+ years old. It's insane that they are still in incredible shape and still would beat most current fighters.
Huge respect for both these warriors.
40 is normal age, why are you surprised? Because you doing nothing in your life so you're useless psychically much earlier?
They would get destroyed by most current fighters. You are delusional.
@tomascech6772 they've still been doing exhibitions against current fighters lol and winning! You're the one that's delusional
@@tomascech6772😂😂😂😂 kid u are a tik toker
@@tomascech6772you have no idea what you are talking about
Heartbreaking to watch those two legends go at each other. You can clearly see they were holding back not to cause damage to each other. It's like watching your favorite lion and tiger fighting...
You don't think they were well compensated? Save your heartbreak for something else dude! 😆
why are you watching it? 😂
honestly the weight difference is too large for this to even be taken seriously
@@Darkness-ie2ylsaenchai has the speed and technique though.
The weight difference isn’t as big as you think, but only makes a difference because they have similar levels of experience
Yes they were definitely holding back, and i have to admit that i like it this way, i didn t wanted to see Sanchai hurt badly,
They are indeed holding back. Buakaws kicks are slow. As if letting saenchai know where it will land.
This is not a match but a “Thank you and Gift to fans and lovers of the sport” they gave us what we wanted, they held back clearly, wouldn’t have it no other way. Beyond Respect for both.
Buakaw hold his strength..Saenchai is inferior to Buakaw..:they just make money
@@aureliodinaguit1645 I wouldn’t say inferior that’s disrespectful imo, but it’s incredible to be able to study the moves used between such legends, if one studies closely a lot is gained from this exhibition.
@@aureliodinaguit1645 Their skills are about equal but Buakaw seems more in-shape. Also the size difference.
you clearly know zero to nothing about Muay Thai to call Saenchai "inferior" compared to Buakaw... Go back to WWA dude, you dont belong here. @@aureliodinaguit1645
Clearly they held back, they have respect for each other and this is just a show match not a competitive one, all tho, it was amazing to watch
I don't care if they hold back, this is mostly for PR. It's just pure joy watching them in the ring together, and the respect they have for each other is immense. I really enjoyed this. Top 2 biggest names in Muay Thai. An inspiration to watch.
ៀ
Pr?
I'm lucky to live in an era where I can see these two Muay Thai legends fighting
just wow! they are so inspiring
I honestly didnt need to see this fight. Much different sized fighters and past their prime. Didnt need to see Saenchai lose some legacy over this mismatch.
@@mikegoodwin5951 this is much like a “Debut battle” for Saenchai. Did you see the Buakaw’s prelims? His opponents are not at the same level either.
I hated it
Right!!!
Those Buakaw kicks are still as deadly as I remember, guy is in top shape and gave Saenchai quite a bit of worries. Size difference is very obvious and I was a little bit surprised how seriously Buakaw took the fight, but at the end of the day, both are the legends of modern Muay Thai, much respect for doing this
He had to. It would've been disrespectful to the opponent and the people if they held back.
more mass more force per acceleration
@@breakdancerQ Buakaw lost 10KG and saenchai gained weight for this fight...imagine if buakaw went full power, saenchai couldnt do a thing so buakaw was holding back for his friend...they are of the same age 40+ so there is no advantage here....they respect each other thats the most important...
@@breakdancerQ C'mon, they both held back a lot !! It was just an exhibition fight.
Buakaw had to hold back more that they expected.. he is a machine..
Those serious shots Saenchai took and how they both still look incredible at their age, after all these wars they fought. Nothing but respect for Thailand and their legends! This one gave me goosebumps.
They made money but didn’t want to fight 😅
Did we watch the same fight?
This fight is testament to the Isaan spirit or more broadly, Thai culture.
These two legends not only fought with obvious intent, but being that they are real friends in real life that that all went out the window when the fight started.
They touched gloves at the beginning and end of each round and any time the fight was stopped and restarted.
You gotta respect the absolute warrior in both guys, we’re lucky to be able to witness history❤
Buakaw's athleticism, strength, and conditioning are absolutely unreal. I think a lot of people don't realize just how high level this match was. It's crazy how fit and high-level both of these guys still are at their age. Most fighters would have become mere shells of their former selves long before reaching such an age, and long before having as many fights as either of them has.
One more thing Saenchai has broken his index finger in second roudn therefore his performance went down due to injury.
Saenchai looked older than Buakaw in this fight but he is actually only 2 years older. You have to give credit to Buakaw for staying in amazing shape into his 40s.
Dude I gotta say if they were same weight class I think it wouldn’t have been hard for senchai to win so many close calls if he was an inch taller or reach was farther .
Bruh they werent even gigjting for real. You didnt see them holding back their strikes?
Never seen meaythai playfights? The thai version of wwe? They used to put that kind of fights while there is a break between prelims and maincard. To fill the brake.
Seanchai and buakaw did exactly that kind of fighting right here
Even in slow motion it is really fast 😂😂
At 2:50, playing at 0.5 speed, you can see Buakaw raising his hand to indicate an apology for the slightly excessive kick. Following that, Saenchai waves his hand to encourage Buakaw to continue.
I love this fight; they are legends!
😂😂😂 of course, this is a semi-choreographed flow fight. They are in it to grab the money, do a show, don't injury themselves and not do a real fight. I mean, this is a semi-real fight and the result was so obviously obvious, that in a real fight, Buakaw would smash Saenchai. The weight/power difference is just to much, and the technique difference is not enough to compensate for the power difference. Plus they are both super defensive about not having gloves. With 10oz gloves, Saenchai might be a little more dangerous and balance things out a bit more. But still, Buakaw is just to big for Saenchai
This was a sparring match.
@@GilAiresSilva I thought that was the case but then saw the rest of the fight and saw that buakaw was clearly not pulling any punches then I realized the reason he apologized is because for thais the 1st round for feeling out and its tradition to not go all out in the 1st
nice catch. i only noticed buakaw raising his hand at first
No doubt ,but isnt respect the most valuable thing :)
Absolute legends. An honour to see them fight. These guys are made from hardened steel. Anyone saying they are holding back; might be for a bit, but they are hitting hard, bare knuckle hooks, elbows, headkicks, knee's. The whole arsenal. Big big respect!
The most gentle fight from both of them.. they dont really want to hurt their buddy… legends…
Big respect for these two legends! As I know Buakaw for much longer and have recently trained in Buakaw's Village, I'm very honored to see him train with my own eyes! It was a pleasure and I will never forget. I love Buakaw hard work, spirit and dedication. Such an inspiration!
Bullshit
คุณ เป็นคนที่โชคดีจริงๆ
Brother I just went to Thailand to train at Buakaw Gym and Fairtex for 2 months, and also fight.
But I dislocated my shoulder 2 weeks before the flight 🥲 so in the end it was 7 weeks of partying and in 8th week, I got really sick, so I had precisely 1 private lesson before I had to leave... What a joke isn't it ...
Glad to hear you made it tho brother!! ❤
@@EsutMat least you get enough boom boom?
@@iNeedVitamins well, they legalised weed, and that's actually all I can remember 😄 no, I had a great time 👍🏽
Saenchai is too smart for his own good, he was able to resist the urge to catch and sweep where as Buakaw got away with FOUR without a point being deducted, and when you see the R5 sweep by S. it hits different.
Both guys held back the first few rounds but the size of Buakaw is just too much for such a LEGENDARY skill level.
Huge props to both for stepping in to the ring, and to BKFC for putting an epic fight like this on. A real treat to watch.
Hard to watch a legend in saenchai lose but
Saenchai artık emekli olma vakti gelmiş
you have no idea what you are talking about
As a martial artist, no holds barred, it could be seen as a better thing to act in instinct from training. It's honestly seen as a very good thing and what you try to achieve in training martial arts. In a fight with rules though, it's just watering it down. I would have loved to see sweeps included and a full Thai ruleset without the gloves, sweeps are honestly the most beautiful part of Muai Thai because of hot it plays in with clinches and taking advantage of an opponents mistakes or openings.
@@locohomicida3348 They are both legendary fighters, I follow both of them, but Sancei needs to retire now, my friend.
I love how respectful those two handled each other. It really shows that they are friends outside the ring.
I'm so glad we live in a timeline where this fight exists. BKFC just made history.
I have watched these two legends fight for the last 20 years. This was a beautiful homage to the sport. If you know them it is obvious they were not trying to hurt each other, but it was still a beautiful exhibition like match. Thanks to both of them for all they have given us through the years. Khob khun krap.
That spinning heel kick buakaw threw in the 4th round was very close to taking saenchai's head off though
true.. I was watched these guys many years. and you clearly can see it this fight, there was NO "fire" in their eyes. In my opinion they just went to this fight to earn money. But that was nice and "friendly" fight. I am a big fan of Buakaw, but i like Saenchai too
Totalmente d acuerdo con el comentario, que no fueron a joderse se nota, casi todo muy controlado y los puñetazos a la cara muy contados. Me alegro por ellos. El que quiera ver sangre que se corte un brazo
I can feel that their faces say "Why di we fight in a ring that doesn't allow sweeps?"
@@DSLifeTripwell said
Real fight, but with all experience to make it look good and real without killing the opponent
Buakaw showing why his sheer pressure will remain unmatched.. an Absolute Specimen even beyond age 40, im a little disappointed that they didn’t allow sweeps, throws, Saenchai definitely excels in those.. such a fun match regardless..
I have the thought that saenchai isn’t all in for some reason. He’s never that deliberate and off kilter . Seems to be holding back
@@stout7668he broke his finger in round 2
Sweeps and throws are my favorite aspect of MT and it's BS they didn't allow it, making for a more bloodier match potentially, more chance of a KO, so farang of them...
@@landgabrielnah this is a friendly match
Both fighters look like they were holding back.
Two of the greatest fighters of all time. Loved watching these friends stay true to their sport. Respect
Bravo et un grand merci à Buakaw et Saenchai pour le spectacle qu'ils nous ont offert, faut pas oublier qu'ils ont chacun plus de 40ans et 300 combats à leur actif. Un vrai combat , je dirai à 70% et qu'importe le gagnant, c'est plus pour nous régaler qu'autre chose. La différence de poids et de taille rendaient impossible le combat en Muai thaï mais comme ils n'ont plus rien à prouver ils nous l'offre en BKFC. Respect !!
totalement daccord , ces deux grand champions n'ont plus grand chose a prouver
Honestly, the respect at the end just makes this so much more pleasant to watch. Truly legends in the craft. So much respect
Они лучшие друзья в жизни
yes, Buakaw and Saenchai are legends, but they are also good friends, with hilarious YT videos, such as the video which shows them singing together, and then Buakaw accidentally hit Saenchai's forehead with microphone. I couldn't stop laughing after watching that video. 😂😂😂
@@crayf123thats just gay porn
@@crayf123lmao 😂 exactly
Cringe when you see all these dweebs going on about ‘respect’.
It’s a fight
@@crayf123 what people (and my self) love to see, is a fight that has no hatred and jealousy in the ring. The fight above is a testament that a pro fighter can still hold respect,sportmanship & befriend with each other even after the fight ends.
Saenchai has always been my favorite. Even knowing this was just going to be an exhibition, its a little sad to see him look his age. Buakaw, however, still looks like a monster. It's clear how much he was holding back out of respect. This fight really came ten years too late.
they were different categories so they had to make special rules to "make it fair".
I think they succeeded in this, was great to watch, wasn't it?
look? He looked great in terms of movement and athleticism are you high?
They are like really really good friends, yhey never go for the kill against each other
This is a real fight. I'm in Thailand, I know.
This is not just an exhibition they respect each other by took it to be a real fight and back to be friends after the match
Two legends in the fight space. Absolutely awesome to see them face each other. I've seen so many fights these two men have fought and they're skill, determination, love of the sport and country, is something we need more of in fighters.
I smile my self to see these 2 man fighting, while in out side they together have fun.
Respect for them. Respect to Thai boxing.
From Indonesia🇮🇩🇹🇭
The amount of respect those two have for each other, its hard not to go all out. Congrats to both for being champons, and giving all the fan's a great fight.
I think the control shows a next level of expertise and respect, crazy control
These guys should be multi-milionaires like the UFC champs. Great warriors and true martial ARTISTS. Thank you Buakaw and Sanchai for this poetry in motion!
They bother probably got a hefty payout for this
Saenchai is not a millionaire at all
@@undesignated3491 maybe he is.
Wow, its so rare to see Saenchai serious. This is vastly different from him playing with his opponents before demolishing them
As a Muay Thai fan, this a dream come true and I didn’t even know that it was happening! I wish they promoted it better
Have to admit... Just reading that they fought gave me shivers. I was almost too hesitant to watch this. Geez... Legends...I've seen them fight before and you can see the hesitation and respect they have for each other. They also clearly want a clean fight. They just move differently in this match. Can't imagine how it felt for both of them throughout this match... Respect!
Same, I had to click but didn’t know if I’d wanna see it. I’d have rather seen them with gloves in a traditional match.
I can defiantly see they are holding back defiantly saenchai he’s usually a dam tornado. But man I never thought I would see the day these two went at it. Crazy
Good fight for legends. They both are good friends 🧡 🎉❤
As a huge fan of both fighters I am just glad the match ended with no one seriously injured 🙏

That's one of the drawback of no gloves
Oh I'm fixing to watch this! Two of the all time best knockout kings! Thanks y'all!😁👍
A few moments where they let each other have it, but overall you can see the mutual respect . Buakaw seems like the little brother in this debacle lol definitely a highly technical and skilled fight between two masters . Much respect. Definitely a favorite
Feel kinda sad for Scenchai…
By the look of Scenchai’s face, he knew he was gonna lose, but he showed up for BKFC and this LEGENDARY FIGHT!!!
ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR TWO MUAY THAI LEGENDS!!! LET’S GOOOOO!!!
He broke his finger, it looks like it happened in the 2nd round.
I am sure he is not that hurt about the loss, they are good if not great friends and respect each other
he was too busy adjusting his pants..
@@akissvolos4334 ya that was a disadvantage for sure.
@@Sean-pc8zsif u look at him sparring its just a habit of him , the real disadvantage was being a lot smaller
Legends!! Wow!! BKFC made an awesome decision to feature Muay Thai in BKFC!
Thanks for putting this fight on
Watching these two legends was amazing. The size difference was quite large, but these two in the 40’s are in incredible shape. What a battle. Those Buakaw kicks are vicious
Saenchai seems to have a bad habit of constantly pulling up his trunk for no reason.
@@scalarnai ya I noticed that too, he didn’t seem to comfortable in there
Даже если бы эти парни вышли и устроили танцевальную битву без перчаток, я бы сидел и смотрел. Это живые легенды боевого спорта.
Size different clearly, why they dont care about it in this martial arts?
I have so much respect for these two legends. They are both winners. Outstanding super humans.
Two Legend Buakaw, Saenchai 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Terima kasih
That was a crazy good fight ! Respect to both of them but my heart goes out to Saenchai for his bravery and incredible fighting spirit. The height difference in this weight class is huge. And Buakaw did not slow down or give him an inch. I also love the round ring set up. Looking forward to seeing how this event grows.
Buakaw looks at least 2 weight classes higher!!
Buakaw didn't use his full power 100%. He had the opportunity to KO Saenchai many times but he chose not to and Saenchai also said that Buakaw had to lose 10 kg for this fight. This is why Saenchai doesn't want anyone to think that Buakaw won just because he was bigger.
@@levin205 What did they weigh in?
@@levin205 you are right, Saenchai also has 2 big chances, 1st elbow and the kick at Buakaw's face in the second half, but they didn't
@@nguyenvuthienan8317you’re smoking crack
Is it just me or these guys arent going as brutal as they do with others 😂
They are friends
💯 basically a exhibition
This fight isnt real
I think its cuz they're bareknuckle
True!!
You have to understand they are still a good friend, can’t do the damage each other too much.
Uma das melhores lutas que já assistir 🙌👏👏👏👏
That flying elbow at the end hit Buakaw right in the head. I know he felt that blow
Buakaw's form today is similar to what I saw when he took the K-1 stage again. Thank you for your hard work. 😊
Uff those were the times. He was a demolishion man there 😮
He lost 10KG so he looks good
It's 10 year's too late
True
Buakaw was holding back very much. They respect eachother to much for this. Great to see, 2 absolute legends 👏❤
Yeah glad to see that he chose not to cause any more unnecessary damage with this bareknuckle nonsense
@@bosnbruce5837 bare Knuckle nonsense! Like they haven't both haven't had many real fights with lethwei and rope style wraps that are harder than knuckles
@@UMBBeAsTz I don't know. Have they?
How do you explain that their faces are clean and with zero injuries. Other than Saenchai having a little mouse above his right cheek, which he got because he tried to elbow and then got insta-punished for being stupid -> 11:37
They are best friends after all 😊😊😊 I don't know why they fight?
@@ratsamyyabandith9919 $
I *NEED* more Bare Knuckle Muay Thai!
I honestly believe Baukaw was taking it easy on Saenchai. You can tell they really respect each other. But this ended the best way it could. Baukaw didn't really hurt Saenchai (and he totally could have) but won the fight.
agreed. if saenchai was same height and weight buakaw would have a contender likely to beat him
they are friends, ofc they both held back
The last thing Saenchai wanted to do is actually escalate this into something serious... Just saying. Yhea they both held back, and even though Saenchai is technically a better fighter, he would stand very little chance if this had been a serious bout. Baukaw is almost as good, quite a bit bigger, stronger, and all-around tougher. That dude is still a freaking monster.
That is what really mattered they did not hurt each other out of respect. Such a fight should actually never had token place but it was amazing. Love both.
@@jamesmccool503this man is made of steel.
I never saw Saenchai that serious in a fight before. Buakaw is just pure raw violence, he largely dominated the whole fight and deserves the win.
Muchas diferencia de peso
But you can see they are not going full on each other. Understand but I would be fun to see, not a single real punch thrown to the face. 5rounds of hard sparring it looks like
@@pierreb563that’s what I thought
@@pierreb563Yes! I'm glad I'm not the only one noticed that, there are some strikes that don't really land (intentionally, and it was counted?). But still, it is entertaining seeing them in a match. I love both these two legends. Couldn't wait for Buakaw's next fight with Manny Pacquiao. 🇹🇭❤️🇵🇭
Thy control the punch..just like touch punch.
This was fun to watch. Clearly they were very respectful of each other. This is a match I’ve always wanted to see but didn’t at the same time. Two of my favorite fighters and to chose a winner would be very difficult without a KO. Buakaws incredible power and Saenchais intelligence in the ring are both absolutely amazing ❤
These men are best friends. They are too good to make dangerous battle between. And they've made this show for us ! Thanks a lot to the Legendary Titans ! Win is no matter at all !
To be honest, the fight was kind of stacked against Saenchai. Buakaw is a bit younger, a bit taller and weighs a lot more than Saenchai. However, we all know Saenchai has never had a problem taking down guys bigger than him in the past because he always outsmarted and outskilled them. Until he faced an equally smart and skillful fighter that is Buakaw. Nevertheless, if a rematch were to happen, I still wouldn’t bet the results to be the same. Huge respect to these legends for putting on a great show with these epic fights. I’m glad I live in this era.
They are true friends...Buakaw lost 10KG and saenchai gained weight for this fight...imagine if buakaw goes full power, saenchai couldnt do a thing so buakaw was holding back for his friend...they are of the same age 40+ so there is no advantage here....they are legends…
Buakaw is a total unit. I was a little scared for Saenchai. I have seen Buakaw KO people. It is sick.
I agree with you except that Buakaw is NOT more skilled...everything about this rule set favors him
Also, add to the fact that there was hardly any clinching allowed and NO sweeps allowed.
buakaw was holding back i think out of respect. saenchai is more skillful but age and size are against him.@@drkmonn9153
They went surprisingly hard. Thought this would be more of an exhibition but they actually fought although they were obviously holding back still entertaining
Looked like Buakaw held back a lot, especially on the punches. You see it in the replays he doesnt torque or len in to it and quite a few times there is clear opening and he doesnt take it. You also see him throwing sloppy kicks without any setup.
Although they did go at it a few times which was surprising.
All in all i wish this charade never happened, I much more enjoy their sparring videos and eternal question who would win if they where both in their prime
@@a.k2156 yep. Buakaw had aloot of opportunities for power punches. Saenchai also held back with the head kicks tho. But for the question of who would win in their prime is a hard one to answer lol
@@RandomName12776 Yup, agreed.
No chance he’s throwing less power cause it’s bk?
Both their bodies are very battle-hardened due to all the decades of fighting and training, theres barely any bleeding from either, apart from minor bruises...its absolutely crazy.
I've never seen these 2 miss so many shots 😂😂 the love and respect they have for each other is just beautiful.
Mereka tinjukkan profesionalitas dan sportifitas dengan tanpa mengabaikan rasa saling menghormati dan menyayangi... Luar Biasa, ❤❤
Big respect to SaenChai
Most Fighters would retire at his age, but he still chose to fight another legend! win or lose He still wins in all our hearts!
Buakaw is nearly the same age dude
there's only 2 year difference between them
He should have not fight this match
What's amazing is both of these fighters are in their 40s, so glad to see a good safe contest without cuts and heavy damage, Legends... respect...
Bare knuckle sparing pretty much. Im happy they weren't trying to kill eachother. Two legends and great friends but past their best with nothing left to prove. Two of the best ever.
2 of the best muay tia fighters I’ve ever witnessed , and they went easy on each other , best friends , both complete ring assassins, deadly
Unbelievable Senchai is still able to walk with that legg in round 5 like nothing happened. Respect to both legends. Enjoyed this fight a lot. 100 times better than the kickboxing match Verhoeven/ Osaro also btw. Love Muay Thai.
Because it saenchai buakaw doesn't want to use his fist to hurt him saenchai would drop immediately if he did
He was injured though, his signature cartwheel kick he couldnt even land it because he had to land on his leg that he received kicks.
This is what a true Martial Arts and and true martial artist is all about. Highest level of technique displayement followed by high respect and unshakable friendship. Much respect to both Greatest Muay Thai practitioners in history. Buakaw & Saenchai. Great examples of true martial
Very honourable fight respect to both. Thank you legends.
BKFC should definitely revisit the ‘Bare Knuckle Muay Thai’ concept just with different fighters
Without takedowns, Saenchai didn't have a chance. His throws and trips are part of his main arsenal. As soon as I seen that takedowns were not allowed, I knew Saenchai already lost.
But great hard exhibition / hard sparring match between these greats! I've been watching these two for a very long time. I was not going to miss this!
He's smaller and lighter don't forget..
@@guererodelluz He's fought a lot of bigger opponents for years. His technique supercedes size & strength.
@@VWFamily but theres bigger then there's Buakaw & bigger 😨
@@rickybushy touche' 😁
Buakaw did like 5 takedowns and didn't receive a warning until Seanchai had done it in revenge for all the takedowns Buakaw had already done. I gave Buakaw rounds 2, 4, and 5 was definitely tighter than 50/46, go back and see how Seanchai was just about to get one last combo but saved by the bell. wtf is this league 50/46?
A monumental display of Muay Thai skill by two legends.
Impressive how they can perform with such intensity meanwhile keeping it respectful and controlled. It’s obvious that they’re not going 100% just by looking at the low volume of head punches thrown.
well, in general, it should be bad etiquette to give your friends concussions.
Hence why these fighters are 300 plus bouts in their careers.
They just don't want to injure their hands as it's their bread... They have other weapons
probably lower volume of head punches because it's bare knuckle... easier to injure your hands
@@user-te7qw2hj4uyeah I was not impressed by this fight, I also do not like this rules set, it's more like kickboxing than muy thai. Limited clinches and no sweeps? Basically this was bad kickboxing.
2 legend. Amazing.
What a beautiful show.
It was a great game. And it's impressive that they don't try to seriously injure each other. We can feel each other's respect.
Senchai is artis, Buakaw is monster, both of them are champions ❤
I like how they’re both holding back lol. First round you can clearly see they’re not Head Hunting but rather just scoring points!! Wholesome Sportsmanship 🙏🏾‼️
Incredible legends, athletism, and sportsmanship. Always wanted to see them meet for sometime. Epic.
2 living legends , upmost respect to them both and everyone who made this happen ☝️🔥🔥
Much respect for both legendary fighters. Altgh it seems to me they're both not 100% at it, im actually glad they did not try to hurt each other since they're good friends, and at this age they've earned their rights to chill back a bit.
Buakaw obviously have the weight class advantage, and you can actually see from his expression that it pains his heart to beat on his smaller friend.
There is great honour in both fighters, hope they'll be able to provide well for their family after this fight 🙏.
They are both legends. Don't matter who wins the fight they are still legends to me.
Both have an understanding each other. Happy to see the legends together.
Almost expected a sparring match with them being bro's, but them boys through down. Both absolute legends
They didn't throw down !! They did as much as they could to make it look real without actually hurting each other.
@@brin57 at beginning yes but some elbows were wild in last rounds. not accurate but could easily knock anyone out
@@bimbamboum3320 They had to make it look good
@@brin57 i think they did well to do that, i doubt bkfc paid them enough for them to go all out and even if they did, it's better that buakaw held back cuz this is obviously a mismatch.
@@brin57 Both of them did as you say but especially Buakaw was clearly holding back. Could have wiped the flor with Senchai. It's not even the same divison.
At 2:50 you can see in the replay how Buakaw instinctively raised his hand to signal an apology after he landed that head kick. He truly didn’t wanna hurt his friend.
Edit: I just want to clarify. I am NOT saying the fight was rigged or fake. The fight was very real. I was just pointing out how Buakaw was still subconsciously holding back because they are both close friends in real life. It shows the humanity of Buakaw and how loyal he is as a friend.
Just a friend fight, nothing more
How ignorant can people be that they don't see this
Then immediately goes in for a gut crushing knee
And Saenchai signaled Buakaw to continue.
And Saenchai signaling "Keep going, it's just business"
Through the fight i just feel like they unconsciously held back even though they try to do damage.
Buakaw put up a show because he didn’t want to disappoint the fans. You can tell he’s holding back against Saenchai because of his respect for him.
It's called being careful against a very technical legendary Thai fighter, even tho he has the height advantage,Saenchai has fought lotta tall guys.👍
Normally a guy towering over you would win over you, Buakaw was trying that with his reach advantage to corner him, but Saenchai moved out or kept him stuck.
True!
The younger tiger hold back but it was a good show. If we could have both fight in their prime.
Buakaw's kicks seem to be not really loaded....
being careful yes, but you threw the truth that he had deep respect of not hurting his feelings, see that first kick to the head and how buakaw apologized 1:36 @@darethomas8224
This is the future of stand-up combat, right here.
Bare knuckle thai. Bare knuckle underground , baby.
Two legends and good friends! They fought with a lot of respect for each other.
Fans of both Buakaw and Saenchai have always wanted this fight to happen but we knew it would be too good to be true. Well, now we can say dreams can come true. Epic match between these two undisputed legends.
yes, Buakaw and Saenchai are legends, but they are also good friends, with hilarious YT videos, such as the video which shows them singing together, and then Buakaw accidentally hit Saenchai's forehead with microphone. I couldn't stop laughing after watching that video. 😂😂😂
Not really. Both legends are past their prime and held back due to friendship. This wasn't a "fight" per se.
we thank the bkfc for organizing the muay thai match with the two most famous athletes in history in this discipline💎
Legends🙌
Two Big Winners💪🏻
เชียร์น้องๆทั้งคู่ ชนะก็ดีแพ้ก็ให้กำลังใจ ดีใจที่ได้ชมน้องๆบนเวที👍👍😍
4:13 absolutely beautiful sportsmanship here, even the ref was smiling wide.
I honestly expected both fighters to hold back. They’ve been friends for a long time. The head kick from Buakaw to Saenchai made Buakaw apologize. You can see with hand gestures. 2:56, you’ll see. Overall, both are legends. I highly respect them.
2:56 or maybe before that
where is the hand gesture, 2:56 is the highlight but cuts off@@Someonethatisnotyourbusiness
its @2:50@@aiiink
each other not do their real skill and movement power they just fight for fun and take money go party 😂
LMA🤣 I don't know what you're watching but they WERE HOLDING BACK! You just proved it with the apology. Not supposed to happen.
The level is so so high that they can fight with no gloves and don’t be hurt each other… they are real magicians of Muay Thai.
I feel you buckaw I know it could be frustrating sometimes all I can say is give them a show and I love you both❤❤❤❤❤❤
Anyone who follow both of them know they pulls allot of punches and kicks. But i must say, they went surprisingly hard and i adore them for it. But size does matter when skills are leveled, reach matters, weight really really matters. Congratulations to Buakaw and awesome show of skills from Saenchai.
Saenchai isn't very skilled buddy. He threw some cartwheel kicks so that he seems skilled to people who don't know much.
@@heightcopecentre oh so being a a multiple-time Lumpinee Muay Thai World Champion in four different weight divisions, a Toyata Cup Tournament and Marathon Champion, WMC World Champion, WBC Diamond World Champion, and a two-time recipient of the prestigious Sports Writers of Thailand Fighter of the Year award doesnt make you one of the greatest in muay thai eh? I think you're the one who doesn't know much buddy
@@heightcopecentrewhat kind of reasoning is that, you're obviously baiting
@@JMRVRGS you're right anyone can see that he's losing pathetically in the fight. It doesn't actually need any reasoning.
@@heightcopecentre losing doesn't mean he's not skilled
2 legends, I hope they got a great payday, both deserves it! Thanks for this BKFC!
Essa e uma luta que eu mais esperei...Buakaw vs saenchai eu gosto muito dos dois(02) lutadores eles são reis do Muay Thai....eu já estava a desconfiar que o Buakaw poderia vencer 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Ídolos de mi 1era juventud...¡ Muay thai por la vena! 🥊🥊
No one in his right mind would face off anyone of them bare knuckles.
Both getting old but still two GOATs.
Much much respect to these legends. 🙌
I found this sparring hilarious and fun to watch. These two legends are in the ring playing and having a great time for us to watch! Thank you!
2 Legend in Muathay Boxer.. Amazing to Both Fighter.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Watching two of the greatest legends bout each other is hard to witness. May the both Kings shine into healthy old age.
It feels a bit odd to see Saenchai lose like this. However in more "thai style" oriented fights(which despite being special rules this was) Saenchai's lack of physicality against fellow thai's typically is the deciding factor. And that isn't due to lack of effort, he's as tough as they come, more of a result of his stature. Regardless he is still a master of finesse but against someone also highly skilled and bigger in Buakaw the result wasn't too surprising. Either way i both loved and hated watching to of my faves duke it out. Respect always to them both and i hope they got PAID !!
Saenchai lack of physicality? Have you seen his matches against Nong-O? Saenchai was a beast in his prime and used to throw people around in clinches and his knees and elbows destroyed opponents. That was all before he became show fighter
Yes thats true but buakaw is in really good shape and weighs 22 pounds more and he is no slouch and know all of saenchai's tricks after sparring with him for a LONG time. And this isnt a real fight so i wont be surprised to see a rematch where Buakaw is letting Saenchai do the work so Saenchai get the same score in the 2nd fight while they both laugh all the way to the bank....@@a.k2156
แสนชัยนิ้วหัก
And you can see his age. It is amazing Saenchai can still do it
i specified in my comment, by "lack of physicality" i mean his LITERAL lack of stature.. not his willingness to be physical. To pretend he isn't disadvantage in some aspects(namely the clinch as we saw in this fight and often in his old stadium bouts) would be disingenuous @@a.k2156
FYI: Saenchai broke his hand in this fight which is why his activity lowered in the later rounds. Unfortunate, but that’s the fight game. Massive respect to both Legends! 🙏🏾
Oh man, I hope he recovers soon. Respect to him
No crap. That explains the elbows in later rounds.
Tough man, that guy. WOW.
Heal soon, Saenchai.
Thx for info. Makes sense
What's the source ,?

the respect!! love it
I love the respect they show each other. Where has this gone? This is honor amongst men. I also love how Saenchai bows at his corner every time.
