"Why your head is so hard?"
"You hurt me with that punch."
Love these 2.
🤣
He didn’t even use that hand. It was clear Buakaw was trying to make him feel good and give him respect.
Legends.
In Thai, hard head (หัวแข็ง) also means stubborn. It's a play on words.
Both legends moving so well in their 40s and taking each other's strikes like champs. Pray for a speedy recovery and to see more from both in or out of the ring. Thanks for the performance!!
Won’t be a fast recovery. Saenchai will need a long time to fully heal. But he will definitely come back stronger 👌
Oh shut up you Norse . Typical Westerner who thinks 40 is a death sentence .
For me
Real fight = 50 %
Friendly fight = 50 %
It's obvious, they are not giving their all in PUNCH AND ELBOWS - also this is not a Title Fight
Great Fight
@@scpk2246 saenchai said at the end of the fight, buakaw lost more than 10KG to fight him so they were of similar weight that night and both are 40+ so there are no age advantage here…he lost fair and square..buakaw did hold back a little though in the 4th round..to say they were not giving their best is disrespectful to the art, thats what they said…they are both legends anyway
Two legends, I have no words that can express my respect for these guys.
Thoses 2 legends are showing us what Muay Thai truely is, the real Spirit behind this art of combat sport : Respect, honor, friendship, and being able to go beyond both our physical and psychological limits.
Thanks for thoses life's lessons Sirs 🙏🙇
I was waiting my whole life for this moment of a fight. but when i started seeing it , it was very hurtful. i could only watch the first round knowing that u both had to hold in. i do thank u both for this fight and both of your legendary status and fights. thank u for all the entertainment
We all knows the scar will always be in the heart..
Normal spar is fine between brothers but serious fight will affect something..
Well if they arent fame fanatic and can control their ego im sure both of them can be friend normally like normals uncles
they're both old yet still moves like a young person. mad respect to both of them. probably this is their last fight as a fighter. they give what the fans want to see for a very long time. And they delivered. They have earned their rest. They have further solidified their status as a legend.
No, this was not their last battle, after this they would continue fighting for more and more.
@@LEVIN205 hence I said "probably". I would still love to see them compete. But I also kinda want them to relax.
@@TheButcherMuayThaiBuakaw will return to fight again on December 2. (RWS Legend of rajadamnern)
They aren't old really. Not in their absolute prime, but still in very good physical condition and will be if they want to.
Gtfoh, i know 60 year olds who put you to sleep
I was happy and sad watching this fight. Happy because it was two legends who I grew up watching, sad because they were friends and did not want someone to lose. I'm glad they entertained the fans in a "real" fight. I'm sure in their hearts they did not want to hurt each other, but they are pros and this is what they get paid to do.
They are tigers. Fighting is in their veins. They are even closer now after the fight. They are warriors and understand each other. There was no loser in this fight.
All I learnt from this fight is that it was very hard for Saenchai to face his friend. Their heart and friendship is the lesson we should learn.
The same goes for buakaw but a fight is fight…saenchai missed a lot of punches and elbows…he was not fighting someone of buakaw’s calibre for a long time…
@@drkmonn9153he never fight someone stronger as man of steel like Buakaw, and this is not even Prime Buakaw use to be World champion in K1 and king of Muay Thai, I know Saenchai is not on he prime anymore, but prime vs prime Buakaw still take it .very fast and dangerous for Saenchai
@@ryzalboyz9511 fact
Yeah. Saenchai held back a lot, and looked sad before the fight. We know he could’ve done more. But also Buakaw attacked his best weapon ☝️ Low Kicked his left leg
@@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique no...saenchai said at the end of the fight, buakaw lost more than 10KG to fight him so they were of similar weight that night and both are 40+ so there are no age advantage here…he lost fair and square..buakaw did hold back a little though in the 4th round..to say they were not giving their best is disrespectful to the art, thats what they said…they are both legends anyway,,,,
It pained me to see Saenchai so down after the fight. He will forever be a legend and inspiration to us all, as well as buakaw.
was painful to see during the fight as well for me
He knew that he can't beat Buakaw so why would he be depressed?
Weight class different bro
@@charlottesphie7037 It is true. Both are equally skilled, so bigger one wins.
@@tindikukkaits just doesnt feel good to for brothers to fight each other seriously.
Spar is fine
Buakaw was bigger, taller, more aggressive (threw like almost twice the volume saenchai did) and, surprisingly, also the faster and sharper one of the two. I thought Saenchai would dance and run circles around him, instead he was pinned down the whole time. Maybe his strategy to "show Buakaw his power" was wrong, cuz Buakaw was definitely much more powerful.
Yes, Saenchai's strength is his fluidity, which he obtains by "playing", by taking pleasure. He came to this fight tense and too serious. On the other hand, I remember his courage in defeat and injury.
You should probably remember that a broken finger in the bare knuckle poses a huge hindrance and destroys the whole concept of fighting.
@@emeticart Seanchai boxing was way behind Buakaw in this fight, and barely landed any good kicks.
@@Spychopunk2077 Of course I saw the fight too as I have loved both fighters for a long time. I trained in Thailand in the early 90s - 2000 and know Saenchai's fighting style quite well. He thrives on a certain spontaneity and "inscrutability" that was probably robbed of him by the injury ... when you're limited in boxing because of an injury, all that's left is kicks ... that's what I meant ...
The main issue I had with the fight is that the sweeps and takedowns Saenchai is known for, were illegal. I would’ve loved to see the fight in a full Muay Thai style where both fighters can show their entire arsenal. But this ruleset favored Buakaw 100%. Saenchai didn’t really have a chance
In the end, the "lesson" in sportsmanship and friendship is the more important experience that the viewer can take away from the fight than "just" the extraordinary sporting performance of the two.
Massive respect for these two legends....
THANK YOU BOTH from all the FANS!!!
Very emotional, both are eternal winners. 🙏
The real win here is that there is true friendship and camraderie between them.
People can only dream and wish for such a good relationship like this with friends and even with partners.
No rivalry problems or egos in the way, just two champions in their own right looking out for one another and respecting the sport, the civility and most importantly, the spirit.
I have the highest respect for these two warriors.
Real warriors…….. congrats to both fighters. Both over 40 years old and still performing at such a high level.
Buakaw tried to make Saenchai feel better and give him respect by saying he hurt him with the broken hand. It wasn’t even the broken hand that hit that side of his face.
So much respect between the two.
Sad to see they are fighting.. but they are true warrior just doing what the warrior's duty
@@MuhammadUmarMendoza-gm9grSad? They've been doing this all their lives. It's a legacy fight and it looks like they both got out the other side with their health mostly in tact. Doesn't seem like anything to be sad about
At 7:55 Buakaw said ‘’graam pom raaw’’ which means ‘’ My jaw is cracked’’ Seanchai then ask ‘’What did you get hit by’’ Buakaw then points at Seanchai broken finger 😂 These two are even more funnier when you could understand thai.
I also believe that Buakaw said that he’s hurt outta respect to Seanchai, but I also believe that he’s actually hurt if it’s a cracked jaw.
@@chillp1409No matter who you are, if you fight one of these guys for 5 rounds they're gonna land something at some point
@@chillp1409it's bareknuckle so maybe that's how it goes
Good video I was very curious to know what happened after the fight
nice, two legends, crowd favorites, in the ring, pulling their punches
Two legends 🇹🇭
Salute the legends!!!!!
💜 Muay Thai is Life
Inspiring video .🙌🙏
Beautiful ❤👊
the best performance of this year....terima kasih Saenchai dan Buakaw dar Kuala Lumpur 🥰💪👏👍
Great fight. Would like to see another fight part 2 but with gloves.
Both legends! Thank you for a good fight
You are still the lethal left high kicking legend, and switching footwork legend Saenchai. Do not let this put you down ☝️Buakaw is also a very powerful and great left high kicking legend. This was the best fight and gift every fan have ever wanted to see 👏 Thank you both for showing us all this fight 💪 You got this!
GOATS, more of this content, please. I love this
You are legend.
As a fighter its always hard to fight your friend who is also a fighter... what happens in the ring stays in the ring thats what these two champions is teaching us. Full RESPECT🙏
You fought well. Buakaw studied your style many months before the fight, and learned how to stop you from using your Left High Kicks ☝️ Buakaw is known as the adaptable fighter. He switched it up and surprised everyone. He is well known for his left kicks. But this time he used his right kicks. Both of you will recover, and become even stronger 💪
Right. Buakaw during his younger days always uses his left kicks...
Now it seems that he rarely uses his left kicks....i wonder if he injured his left leg...its rare to see his left roundhouse kicks nowadays.
@@hazminhamzah2662no…it depends on who he is fighting…he fought a lot of orthodox fighters so left kick is more effective, for southpaw, right kick is preferred..
I know which parts of his both legs are injured. Been a fan of Buakaw, since I was a boy ☝️ His left big toe joint is injured, flesh is healed but an injured joint always hurts depending how you use it ☝️ Buakaw also has an injured right knee joint from his K-1 days ☝️ And the last few young fighters were disrespectful and knew of Buakaw’s leg injuries and tried to injure his legs even more by doing low kicks and spinning back kicks. They don’t care if they get injured themselves, they just wanted to win. The white guy succeeded, the kung fu guy failed ☝️ Olek and Yanlong
@@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique Dang, which guy succeeded and how? Man the life of a warrior always risking more injuries.
@@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique Dutch style kickboxing involves a lot of Low Kicks. Andy souwer beat Buakaw once on points.
They both deserve the big bag...Buakaw got me into Muay Thai back in the K1 days and Saenchai is STILL competing and killing it
Legendary both of them
We all wish Buakaw to win against Pacquiao, and also for Saenchai to fully recover and rest up well 🙏 Both legends have fought through so many battles to come this far 💪
Buakaw aint gonna win against Pacman in his own game and the same if it was the other way around but nevertheless I hope it will be a glorious fight
@@pix00l Muay Thai x Kickboxing Buakaw wins
In a boxing match Buakaw has no chance fr.
If it's Muay Thai or Kickboxing, Buakaw can beat Pacquiao easily, but in boxing I'm not sure but we all know that Buakaw has a special ability adapting to the rules.
I hope so
New subscriber always watching your videos❤my idol saenchai
"your head was hard" 😂 got to love them. Speedy recovery !
They actually fought hard. Unlike CZcamsrs this was an actual fight. Respect to both!
Legends right here
Much love and respect to you both 😊🥰💪🏻👌🏻👍🏻💪🏻your guys are AMAZING!
hate to see them fight but love to see the chemistry after the fight
Respect ❤
It was fun to watch them talk to each other before using techniques bit like wee this one
True. Saenchai held back his left high kicks a lot. And Buakaw held back his punches. But that’s okay, if they fought 100%. Both would be injured badly ☝️
I really love these two people. They are two examples in life for me. may god bless them and i really enjoyed all their matches. legends, beasts, I pay all my respect to you.🙏🙏🙏
Both of them like to play football together.
Yessss
The end of the video is simply amazing ❤
super!
It’s great to see how humble and respectful both are
You both looked very nervous, were you? Thank you for the fight! Great to see you both in the ring together.
Of course. They’re friends. They both had a look of sadness in their eyes before the fight ☝️
Love their frienship! Hope Saenchai will recover very soon
Respect
I was sad to see Saenchai lose, but it was pretty apparent early on that Buakaw was not going to be seriously hurt. Saenchai uncharacteristically looked slower and off balance. He ended up on the ground a lot even without getting swept. I am glad that neither was seriously hurt though, those guys are both legends and deserve to be remembered as such.
He ended up on the ground because he wasn't tryign to defend himself from sweeps, since they weren't even allowed in that ruleset to begin with.
@@vingadivo8707 I know but a few times he just tried high kicks and ended up falling without getting swept. Even on his signature kick he fell down. Don't get me wrong, I love Saenchai, it was just so unlike what I'm accustomed to seeing from him.
Oh that. Lol 😂 It’s because his left leg was injured badly from Buakaw’s low kicks. Buakaw specifically targeted Saenchai’s best weapon
I have never seen like this type of friendship even outside the ring , they showed the true reality of muay thai😢
beautiful fight Saenchai. Both of you show the true spirit and art of Muay Thai. Thank you for the beautiful performance. It will be remembered for a long time.
Both are strong, power, skilfull, endurance and master in MuayThai. What a great match, to see they fight in bare knuckle fighting
Wish you a Quick recovery Saenchai 🙏🏼. It was a great fight, that teach us that Muay Thai goes beyond performance and sport.
Épic video real touch my heart
What many people don’t see is that, they didnt like that they fought each other after that fight and that you can see some sadness amongst both of them and they will never do that again. When your top of friends, it’s absolutely hard to fight each other in whatever fight sport it is.
big respect to both of you!!!!
All i see is 2 brothers having fun! whether is on the ring or off the ring. Congrats to both of you! you 2 are an example of what hard work is...
More of an exhibition than a fight as neither fighter actually tried to hurt the other.
Respect to both!
I am happy to be able to witness this.
"Your head was hard" haha nice one... Great fight guys!
I'm sure it must be hard to fight a friend.
Win or lose, friendship forever
Two of the best muay thai fighters of all time ... i watch them both many times 🥊🥊
รักพี่แสนและพี่บัวเสมอครับ สุดยอดตำนานทั้งคู่ครับพี่
I grew up watching these two. Seeing them in a mega fight is so epic. This was so epic.
Have they ever fought before?
"Your head was hard" Saenchai is such a vibe 😹😹
99% of UFC figters can't even come close to level of class these two have. On anf off ring.
Two legends of Muay Thai. One is power and one is speed. It feels weird to see this two fight each other. I am glad that they didn't go all out.
It's what fighters do but I just prefer to see these two train and hang out ...
Simply their sparring alone is Thai boxing, it encompasses the Thai completely.
Outstanding journeys guys
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🍻🤙🏽🇦🇺
Love you both
peace and love❤
Love both of them
respect both
These two are unique🤝💯
Beautiful ending. Love these guys
It is so good to feel this vibes with them, and with so many people watching this video…
🙏✌️🤘❤️🔥
luv u both
God bless from the Philippines ❤️❤️❤️🙏
This type of fight for me was where I wanted both fighters to Win... So it was hard for me to watch either fighters lose 😲 Love seeing the fact that after the match they could both still be in the same room together with no hard feelings against one another...True friendship right there 🤜🏼🤛🏽 Much Respect to them both 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This match would have looked so much different if they didn't actually respect each other. Wow
True professional and great men, respect, honor, love and extreme discipline to training, fighting and life.
You are both 2 Kings of Muay Thai. I respect you two.
Greatness...💙💯
Both are great friends, hope the media won't pit each other to another fight. Much respects to both muay dai fighters.
Full respect... Two legends... No buddy wins and no buddy lose.. Both of them are true champions...
You two are legends.Respect.
Great exhibition fight by 2 legends. These 2 blokes just have to much respect for each other to draw blood. They held back but still put on a show.
🎉🎉❤ Two great flighters
This is a brutal sports. When u age, things get broken easily. both of them earned their placed.
☝🏾❤️🤙🏾
05:23 this fight was "rigged". you dont see Buakaw apologizing to anyone after kicking them in the head unless its Saenchai. they are best buds. they both held back. they both didnt go full power. they have utmost respect for each other.
That wasn’t an apology; that was Buakaw instinctively extending his arm to create defensive distance after a kick. I do that in sparring too after a kick. It looks odd here coz it’s viewed in isolation. But i agree they both held back, especially Buakaw who could have done real damage with more punches but he did not.
It was him pointing at him, in a taunting manner if you watch it at another angle
Na minha humilde opinião o maior vencedor fomos nós. Assistir a luta de duas lendas vivas do Muay thai.
Dari Malaysia 🙏💪😘
I love these two champion's, in my eyes i feel like them two are my friends.
Im so glad they didnt turn enemies after the fight I adore these two
One of my dreams was to see this fight and i'm really happy to have been able to watch it🙏 but also a bit sad because more than fighters, they are friends 🙏
Such big gap in reach between them.
Its crazy how Saenchai able to cover it with his speed
Es la VELOCIDAD Vs LA FUERZA "!!!¡
good friends,nice very nice!!
Brings tears to my eyes
