@chevalier433 - That is true what you say as far as advantages. But when speaking of a fighter like Zambidis ( which is the one you use as an example ), he's been fighting taller opponents most of his career. And he did a good job on most of the fights. But to say the only reason Buakaw beat Zambidis is because he's taller. Well, that's false Look at Saenchai, he's short too and all the people he fights are taller. Saenchai is the pound for pound king of Thailand.
Buakwa is a traditional fighter good power with all rankings but in K1 he cant do much..K1 need power and mind together...Giorgio petrosyan is one example...
dang that french guy got hella tire and slow from getting foot jab into the stomach and get kik a few time to the forearm and legs shin from buakaw. thats got to hurt, no shit it hurts!!! lol he got slower. but overall ok fight. buakaw the best k1 compete and a muaythai fighter of all times.
@Ason1995 Tai dabar bl issipisineji tu ant jo del to kad laimi? del to kad lupa visus kai vaikus? del ko tau jis toks? Bl juokingi man zmones kaip tu..
none of the thai boxers are really that great at boxing. it's just the way they train, since punches don't really impress the judges in thailand. most of the fighters have really sloppy boxing except for a few like anuwat.
@wseturki4mo when kicking make you a champion then kick,Buakaw kicks a lots that why he is the greatest.Saying that he is not good at boxing make no sense.He just used the most effective weapon he has.
This guy Holtzken doesn't seem to be that bad actually. I think the problem in this fight was his timing. It just seemed like all of his counters were a bit too late..
Ever matched him? He has knocked out Souwer. Plus many would dispute what you say and claim that the judges were biased in at least one of the other fights.
Plus why are you hatin' on Buakaw. We're talking about the man that had an entire organization CHANGE THEIR RULES in order to keep him from winning.
No, elbows are not allowed in K1, they are in Muay thai. K1 also has restrictive clinching and leg holding rules. They get one strike from the clinch or a hold and then they are required to break. Buakaw scores 2 knockdowns with a muay thai style standing leg catch and throws.
@AIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Nope. K1 and most Japanese fighting (Pride) does not allow it. Too much blood = no good for Japanese TV and also premature stoppage of fights.
I don't agree with your clinch comments at all.. Buakaw legs and knees are what separates him from the other fighters... he is just too slick .. pure Muay Thai
Andy Souwer did, three times. Sato did. Masato did. Albert Kraus did it too.
Basically Buakaw loses against fighters who know how to deal with his constant violation of the clinch rule. The K1 judges themselves after all are too pussy to punish him for that, they'd lose too many ticket sales, so they let him.
Jup, it's no secret Buakaw is a fighter the people love to see and I can't blame them. But you said it completely right. Take his clinching out of the game and you have a good shot at beating him. That said it's not an easy thing to do.
What? Seriously, try to count the points if you think that. Souwer beating him has always been with room to spare. The only time Buakaw ever matched him was when he had two easy fights, and Souwer two tough fights before their confrontation.
He even almost lost to Dida this year in the final 16, except that he could clinch against the rules to save himself and recover.
In their most recent match, Souwer hardly looked impressive against Buakaw in comparison to their past tournament bouts. And this time he was supposed to be "fresh", so you're argument doesn't hold much merit... especially when you consider the controversy over the decision. Many have argued that Buakaw did enough to win that match and Souwer was given the decision due to K-1's desire to match him up with Masato for his retirement fight and Buakaw's contract with K-1 expiring prior.
Those 'many' must have been fanboys of Buakaw then. The only amazing thing about that fight was they needed a 4th round to decide Souwer won.
And if anything was rigged about that tournament, it was to eliminate as many Dutch fighters as possible, and give Petrosyan the best odds of winning. That way, Petrosyan stands to increase his status, and the K1's ticket sales.
Actually, even those who watched the fight objectively expressed surprise that they gave the nod to Souwer.
Where are you getting your info from? K-1 never wanted Petrosyan to be champion. Tanikawa even explicitly stated prior to the tournament that he found his style to be "boring". Petrosyan was the least popular fighter in the tournament, it was the quietest crowd I've ever heard after a MAX champion had been crowned. He is the last person they expect to put people on seats...
Why doubt Buakaw. They introduced certain rules BECAUSE of Buakaw. If there were clinch, no foreigner would beat him. Buakaw is the hardest working fighter in the world, and the best Thai fighter in the world. He is fighting in a world of modified rules. Give him his rules, no one could stop him taking out the factor of a lucky punch. Buakaw is by far the best Muay Thai practitioner there is. No martial art beats traditional Muay Thai, hands down.
thats bullshit , its cuz western people dont want to see clinching but action , western people and japanese are k1s main viewers , clinching is only part of a fight in thailand , and that is also the reason why buakaw(born and trained in thailand) is so good at it , western fighters clinch to rest or block attacks and in thailands mau thai the fight contineus while clinching , but its not true thats its not allowed cuz of his skills for it !
For people who are saying that buakaw has lost motivation, it is not because he doesn't want to work hard, but it is because he's constantly getting robbed off his victory wherever to goes, most recent examples being his latest fight with kraus and andy.
Too many arm-chair fighters here, who have no idea what anyone in the ring is doing. You don't know how hard anyone is hitting or getting hit, unless you're the one giving and taking the punches.
that's not quite true. You can predict how hard somebody beat one another based on his movements and the reaction of the person getting hit. And if you see the slowmotion replay you pretty much now how hard the punch was.
Because he is not permitted to. The rules have changed significantly. He is a Muay Thai fighter. He trains and is surrounded in a Muay Thai camp by Muay Thai fighters. He can't clinch. It's not natural to want to clinch but he must control himself. That's why the tournament is different to watch this year.
he isnt even trying if you watch he is just like going 50 percent he can dip all that dudes shit but he is just half assing it watch his other fights and watch what he does in here sometimes he is good just half assing it 1 of my fav fighters he is prolly geting paid to not try
but is fucking annoying kicking in the dick i know that there is a protector not to hurt but from your instict you go back and you are staying unfocused
kicking on the dick?? Do u think that the judges wouldn't see that? Do you think that the MAN in front of him could bear it like it was nothing? Let me explain you something kid: men have bowls you get kicked on it you get down on the floor.
uh, judging by my post? i dont care if you think i dont know anything about the emelianenko bros. wtf does aleks have to do with nieky sucking balls and ass?
Aleks has nothing to with Nieky. But criticizing a fighters' skill just by their tattoos is absurd. You say you've "never" seen a fighter who has them, that's actually won a fight, yet you apparently know Aleksander Emelianenko? Give me a break, you aren't fooling anyone. Those who bash fighters are ignorant on the sport and likely have never stepped foot in a ring themselves. I know for a fact you'd never say that infront of Nieky's face, only behind the safety of your computer screen. Moron.
wow internet guy do you take everything this seriously? and yes, aleks has a good record, but who has he beaten that was good? can you name other fighters with a shitload of tattoos that are great? most good fighters aren't swarmed in tattoos. its ok to be wrong, faggot
Lol, what a paradox you've created. First you say you've never seen a fighter with many tattoos actually win fights. So I name you one, and now you're unable to accept that you were wrong. Ok, you want other ones; Jeff Monson? Tyrone Spong? Ricardo Arona?... Ever hear of them? Take your own advice, and think before you type something stupid next time.
LMAO @ those examples. ricardo arona and tyrone sprong, fine. arona hasnt done much recently and he was good in pride, i like him and i also think he beat fedor in RINGS. but jeff monson? LOL
Arona just won a fight against Marvin Eastman very recently. He's an undefeated Champion in Abu Dhabi and Monson is a two-time Champion in ADCC. If you're honestly trying to discredit Monson's grappling skills, you're in enough denial already. Just like this discussion should've been over after my first response, now you're only rationalizing to prolong the fact you can't admit you're wrong. I only needed to name one fighter to contradict your first post and I ended up giving you 4. So STFU now.
"LOL i NEVER seen a guy with a shitload of tatoos ever be good/win in ANY fight under ANY rules in ANY org haha"
You asked for it and you got it. I don't care if you think Abu Dhabi is shit, previously you didn't even know good fighters with tattoos other than Nieky, even existed. How do you expect me to take your opinions on the subject with any credibility? The more you post, the more ignorant and pathetic you come off as. Learn about the sport before posting stupidity.
i didnt know japanese and didnt know korean, but i know the korean comentators are way better because they know when to scream and enphatize the fight, no matter the fighter's nationality, japanese comentators only scream when a japanese fighter lands a combination no matter if it connected
Nicky prepared great deal & improved alot since 07. He is well prepared. He knew he had to eat alot of kicks to get inside and got in several times. he did well. However, buakaw smart enough to keep him distance to avoid mistakes. At the same time, keep dominating and move forward. The goal was to win. There was no point of risking. The real goal is up a head - the title. Good thing bout now aday is that each round you know who wins or loses. So this determines how hard u need to do each round.
Show some respect. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
This wasn't Buakaw dominating Nieky in the slightest. Arguably the first round could have gone to the latter, whilst in the second Buakaw was merely keeping Nieky at a distance.
Buakaw's a great fighter, and he certainly isn't trying his best, but Nieky doesn't deserve a stupid comment like yours.
This fight is a great example of how to control an opponent. I see a lot of comments about how Buakaw didn't do his normal volume and intensity, but if Holtzken can't even get past his front leg teep, why waste energy? Save the body and the energy for the final. Ush!
What Buakaw is also very good in, is kicking powerful with the front leg. A lot of K1 fighters are only kickin with their rear legs.
But Buakaw has really tons of thunder in his front leg, too. Using the front leg gives him even a shorter way when he attacks. I like that. Another fighter, I don't like, but who has a very good front leg too, is Glaube Feitosa. But not only of his weight, but more of his lame fighting style he shouldn't be compared to such a whirlwind like Buakaw.
Those who have seen buakaw since the year 2004 understand what he hast to do become the champion again. More ambition, agression and more keeping the distance so none is able to hurt him.
And I think, he has to be more loose with his legs again. Back then he fired much more kicks, and much faster and in a bigger volume. But hey, let's face it, everybody is gettin older :)
And the bodies of the fighters in the lighter weight classes get older and spent sooner than those of the heavy boys, because of a much higher output and receiving ratio. And I think Buakaw has problems to adapt, to have a plan B if plan A does not work. Still I like him a lot.
It's sad to see buakaw getting more punches to his head than ever before. He's even got knocked out once and knocked down twice in less than two years. I think he thought he is a great boxer after the win in 2006 max but his secret back then was a great mix of kicks and punches.
Love to see him in the finals this year but also afraid that he'll get his ass kicked by souwer who's been training his leg work continuesly.

Buakaw is a master now. He has so freakin much experience behind his back. No doubt he can manage against any opponent.

kicking on the dick?? Do u think that the judges wouldn't see that? Do you think that the MAN in front of him could bear it like it was nothing? Let me explain you something kid: men have bowls you get kicked on it you get down on the floor.

You obviously haven't, judging by your previous post. A quick google search isn't enough to hide your ignorance, buddy.
phil367153206 2 years ago
uh, judging by my post? i dont care if you think i dont know anything about the emelianenko bros. wtf does aleks have to do with nieky sucking balls and ass?
dongchinchin 2 years ago
Aleks has nothing to with Nieky. But criticizing a fighters' skill just by their tattoos is absurd. You say you've "never" seen a fighter who has them, that's actually won a fight, yet you apparently know Aleksander Emelianenko? Give me a break, you aren't fooling anyone. Those who bash fighters are ignorant on the sport and likely have never stepped foot in a ring themselves. I know for a fact you'd never say that infront of Nieky's face, only behind the safety of your computer screen. Moron.
phil367153206 2 years ago
wow internet guy do you take everything this seriously? and yes, aleks has a good record, but who has he beaten that was good? can you name other fighters with a shitload of tattoos that are great? most good fighters aren't swarmed in tattoos. its ok to be wrong, faggot
dongchinchin 2 years ago
Lol, what a paradox you've created. First you say you've never seen a fighter with many tattoos actually win fights. So I name you one, and now you're unable to accept that you were wrong. Ok, you want other ones; Jeff Monson? Tyrone Spong? Ricardo Arona?... Ever hear of them? Take your own advice, and think before you type something stupid next time.
phil367153206 2 years ago
LMAO @ those examples. ricardo arona and tyrone sprong, fine. arona hasnt done much recently and he was good in pride, i like him and i also think he beat fedor in RINGS. but jeff monson? LOL
dongchinchin 2 years ago
Arona just won a fight against Marvin Eastman very recently. He's an undefeated Champion in Abu Dhabi and Monson is a two-time Champion in ADCC. If you're honestly trying to discredit Monson's grappling skills, you're in enough denial already. Just like this discussion should've been over after my first response, now you're only rationalizing to prolong the fact you can't admit you're wrong. I only needed to name one fighter to contradict your first post and I ended up giving you 4. So STFU now.
phil367153206 2 years ago
Abu dhabi doesn't mean shit. monson fights nobodys and beats them wowzers. lets name fighters with not-many/no tattoos that are good then? queer

"LOL i NEVER seen a guy with a shitload of tatoos ever be good/win in ANY fight under ANY rules in ANY org haha"
You asked for it and you got it. I don't care if you think Abu Dhabi is shit, previously you didn't even know good fighters with tattoos other than Nieky, even existed. How do you expect me to take your opinions on the subject with any credibility? The more you post, the more ignorant and pathetic you come off as. Learn about the sport before posting stupidity.

Nicky prepared great deal & improved alot since 07. He is well prepared. He knew he had to eat alot of kicks to get inside and got in several times. he did well. However, buakaw smart enough to keep him distance to avoid mistakes. At the same time, keep dominating and move forward. The goal was to win. There was no point of risking. The real goal is up a head - the title. Good thing bout now aday is that each round you know who wins or loses. So this determines how hard u need to do each round.

Show some respect. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
This wasn't Buakaw dominating Nieky in the slightest. Arguably the first round could have gone to the latter, whilst in the second Buakaw was merely keeping Nieky at a distance.
Buakaw's a great fighter, and he certainly isn't trying his best, but Nieky doesn't deserve a stupid comment like yours.

This fight is a great example of how to control an opponent. I see a lot of comments about how Buakaw didn't do his normal volume and intensity, but if Holtzken can't even get past his front leg teep, why waste energy? Save the body and the energy for the final. Ush!

Buakaw is the Rocky of K1 while all the other fighters are like Drago from Rocky IV
wilco83 2 years ago 5
What Buakaw is also very good in, is kicking powerful with the front leg. A lot of K1 fighters are only kickin with their rear legs.
But Buakaw has really tons of thunder in his front leg, too. Using the front leg gives him even a shorter way when he attacks. I like that. Another fighter, I don't like, but who has a very good front leg too, is Glaube Feitosa. But not only of his weight, but more of his lame fighting style he shouldn't be compared to such a whirlwind like Buakaw.

Those who have seen buakaw since the year 2004 understand what he hast to do become the champion again. More ambition, agression and more keeping the distance so none is able to hurt him.
reggaepampula 2 years ago
And I think, he has to be more loose with his legs again. Back then he fired much more kicks, and much faster and in a bigger volume. But hey, let's face it, everybody is gettin older :)
And the bodies of the fighters in the lighter weight classes get older and spent sooner than those of the heavy boys, because of a much higher output and receiving ratio. And I think Buakaw has problems to adapt, to have a plan B if plan A does not work. Still I like him a lot.
Heckebongert 2 years ago
Buakaw had a right ankle injury going into this fight which is why he didn't throw a lot of right kicks.
Rankor 2 years ago
It's sad to see buakaw getting more punches to his head than ever before. He's even got knocked out once and knocked down twice in less than two years. I think he thought he is a great boxer after the win in 2006 max but his secret back then was a great mix of kicks and punches.
Love to see him in the finals this year but also afraid that he'll get his ass kicked by souwer who's been training his leg work continuesly.

its not that easy to hit a top k1 fighter with a difficult technique like the round house. this can have bad consequences..
