@BD76427 It was clearly a knockdown....Just like in fight with Sato...Dida etc...
By the way what happened to Buakaw in the Dida fight lol....Hinata destroyed Dida and had 2 knockdowns on him...yet when Buakaw fights him he can't get any knockdowns...in fact Dida knocked him down in the 1st round
as much as I love Buakaw, I still have to say hes a bit too confident. And boxing is a more direct and effective way in fighting , since most of the weak points are on the upper body...
i agree with Boxing being more of a direct way of fighting but not on the "upper body having most of the weak points" See those Leg Kicks to the thigh?? His leg is hurting. couple more and he'll quit the fight cause of them. Also, Kidney shot is also a fight stopper. so is the Sternum. a limb break is also a stopper. upper body only has the head. Points, Temple, chin, and just behind the ear. Not the back of the head since that doesnt count.
@hxcmexi The point of kicking the thigh is to demobilize ur opponent, so you have more chance to deliver fatal blows... kicking the thigh itself most of the time won't press the stop button...
actually it will. I can tell you are not a Muay Thai fan. Its actually the other way around. Throw your hand combo and finish with a nasty kick. If you get that thigh in the same spot over and over your opponent will limp and will definately stop the fight. Search Ramon Dekkers vs Hector Pena. Watch the fight. you'll see what i'm talking bout.
I've been doing Muay Thai for years now and from my experice i'm telling you its true. I've stopped a couple of my oppoents just by chopping down their legs. The pain is intense, Cant put weight on your leg so you gotta rely putting most of your weight on your other which is definately not good. M. Thai is like a chess game. Pick your shots and make them count. You dont have 8 limbs for nothing.
when Buakaw kickS Joon Kim down, the ref. counts. Everytime, buakaw kicks masato down on many occasions, ref. simply buying time for him to recover...AIN'T THAT SOMETHING.!
erthdirt1, you were close with your assessment- though I heard that it was actually more like Bloodsport than The Protector- meaning Masato was victorious because he was fighting to honor his shidoshi and when he fought, Shidoshi Tanaka's spirit fought with him and Masato's training while blindfolded was what prepared him for the crappy K-1 rules where you aren't allowed to elbow and can't throw but one knee in a clinch because if they didn't change the rules then Buakaw would never lose
Maybe, but I don't understand why they would change the rules. If K1 is historically a striking event, why limit the types of strikes that are allowed? If you study Muay Thai as your name implies you should know that, with the exception of the heal, knees and elbows are the best striking surfaces- its just a shame what they did to the sport
Buakaw got payed double the purse under the table by the Yukuza to throw the fight. K1 wanted a Jap to represent for a change. Plus, with the money the Yukuza payed Buakaw to lose he was able to save his baby elephant and his village from imminent distruction by the Myannmar guerilla forces
Man this is so unfair fucking Japanese rule, it 's not event muay Thai. You suck Japanese!

Buakaw aint top notch K1 material anymore due to some of the rule changes, it's his own call and in my opinion he's a nr1 fighter in Muay Thai.
