@josephbuaban that's nice to hear. do you maybe have the video of your father's fight in hong kong against don wilson? i think every muay thai fan wants to see that! cheers

Don should have side kicked his knee and put him in a electric wheel chair.

Muay Thai OWNED him hard

Nobody does the Don Wilson Full Contact Karate style anymore. Not in Kickboxing; Not in MMA; and obviously not in Muay Thai. Why didn't he fight Dutch Muay Thai fighters at his own weight class. It's a no win here. He wins - he's the larger fighter. He lose, he gets whooped by a naturally smaller fighter. In the end, today, it's all about Muay Thai. Except for Karate loyalists of the past, no one does Don's shit anymore. Muay Thai and Boxing = most effective striking consistently!

Respect to Don for joining the discussion, and of course more respect to him for being a pioneering Westerner prepared to go to Thailand in the mid 80s and fight under their rules. As I recall from the tapes Fanta knocked you down 3 times but it was a draw.but I think it says more about your ability the fact u were able to go the distance with those who had trained in Thai their whole loves; moat Western kick boxers would have lasted seconds in those days

Yeah, the Thais did their best not to lose their faces by forcing Wilson to drop some 8 pounds hours before the fight. Nothing to take away from Samart, though.
