I guess it wasn't popular to punch very often during this time? Or do both of these fighters just favor the use of legs and clinch? Sorry but I just noticed they have barely thrown any punches the whole fight.

[GKfromMTA]

They had some guys around this time known primarily for punching . Vicharnnoi, Fasai Taweechai and Saensak Muangsurin to name a few. Samart Payakaroon had not started off as a puncher but later incorporated hands as he fought both Muay Thai and international boxing. Dieselnoi actually had one boxing match with Sansakda Kittikasem and was KO'd.

if nongkhai had a lil more reach, i think noi wouldve been in trouble. deisel only has his reach & knees. not so much of a technical fighter in my oppinion

[GKfromMTA]

Dieselnoi's technical abilities are very subtle. He was a very dedicated fighter and trained 6 hours a day. Dieselnoi had also been an instructor while fighting and has a deep understanding of the game. Dieselnoi has knee techniques featured in Panya Kraitus's book, The Distinguished art of Muay Thai.

how tall is dieselnoi?

[GKfromMTA]

I have an older Muay Thai mag saying that he was 186cm

@RegistrationCop Punches are the weakest weapons of muay thai and they score much less than kicks, knees and elbows.

@RegistrationCop I think what you're asking is why it was all knees and kicks. Dieselnoi had humongous knees. They were his primary weapon. I don't think he had great punching power. Look at his arms. But just think about facing him in the ring with those knees. Very hard to beat. Great fighter.

@UJ1400 Hahahahahahaha that's very funny :)

@RegistrationCop You put this comment a year ago but I will add until Samart, who was a 4 time Lumpinee champ, came along after this and won a title in the WBC in boxing the hands were used very little plus the hands score less I believe in Muay Thai. I think it goes knees score highest, then kicks, then elbows, then punches and I don't know where they score on the chart but takedowns score. I know the rules have changed since plowing is no longer allowed:(

was grabbing onto ropes legal back then?

[mognite]

@teemack you might change ur mind if u felt one of those knees to the stomach.
