Muay Thai Talk

Talking about Muay Thai fighter today you have to mention Buakaw. He is in fact famous here in Thailand as a professional Welterweight Thai boxer, a former Super welterweight WMC Muay Thai World champ and two times K-1 MAX World winner.

Just like most of great Thai boxers, they all grew up in up-country in some far away province and had a really rough life from the beginning. Buakaw started to train Muay thai since he was only 8 years old and joined Por. Pramuk gym at the age of 15 only.

His boxing record from 18 years of fighting is 185 wins (46 KO’s and 138 Decisions), 12 Deaws and 19 Losses only. He has fought more than 200 matches in the right already. Don’t have to talk about his experience. Even if later on he wants to end it, he can still continue by helping training new boxers with great pride.

Here are his titles:
2006 K-1 World MAX champion
