  • In over three decades and through three hundred battles in the ring, Buakaw Banchamek asserted himself as of one of the greatest strikers in martial arts history. Formerly known as Por Pramuk, he forced K-1 to ban prolonged clinching with his dominant infighting, became the organization’s first two-time middleweight king and then peaced out to conquer the world stage. Today, we'll recount the legendary journey of the 'White Lotus'.

    Dude's got more belts than a janitor has keys on the ring, in his 40s looking like 27, casually plays in a semi-pro football team for recreation and still whoop everybody ass. What ever your definition of a legend is, this man checks all the boxes and then some. Truly amazing.

    Imagine being so damn good at your craft they literally change the rules to handicap you, then when you still smash their challengers the judges conspire against you the degree you lose when you were clearly the victor.
    This man is an incredible example of the warrior spirit, and the dedication, tenacity, humility and honor it takes to become so.

      @@snaffu1 It’s more so an innate bias towards their own fighters from the judges, which is present in all Asian countries, and to some extent also in the west (although it’s gotten better over here). If you fight in Japan, Korea, China, or Thailand, against a respective fighter from said country, you either need to knock them out to win, or produce an *OVERWHELMINGLY* dominant victory. Otherwise you’re just gonna get robbed. In the west it’s predominantly prevalent in boxing. Fighting a Mexican fighter in Mexico? Have fun getting robbed if you don’t knock them out.

      At that time, Japan was in a period of transition where real mixed martial arts fighting was very exciting and explosively popular, but then it turned into a very disappointing form of entertainment.
      Even in that, he really shined.
      Every decent Japanese person who knew him at that time knows this, and there is no room for doubting his strength, talent, hard work, and gentlemanliness.
      It's unfortunate that his most important time was caught up in such a time, and I'm sorry.

    Nobody remembers anymore, but I was there live when Buakaw fought Masato. It was the most controversial fight in K1 history. The ref retired after that fight because he let Masato take a beating so bad that Masato had to go to the hospital for kidney damage and he was pissing blood afterwards. Masato was so damaged from that fight that he was out of training for months. Judges were also bias and rigged the fight in favor of Masato. K1 was notorious for bias with their Japanese fighters and for their hatred of Buakaw. The Japanese have traditionally held a long standing racism for Thais.
    Note: Buakaws fight with Masato this time 29:00 was so brutal and damaging that Masato lost the tournament because of the damage he took from Buakaw.

    And Buakhaw ‘s idol, Samart Phayakorun, was truly at the top of Muay Thai. At that time, he fought until no opponent in the country dared fight him. So he turned to boxing and won belts in both Muay Thai and boxing, but foreigners hardly knew him. He is the most complete boxer of this era. I want you to make a history of Samat Phayak Arun.

    I've been a huge fan of MMA since I rented video's of the first UFC Events as a teen in the mid 90's and I've been closely following it for 15 years or so. It's only been a couple of years since I started to watch some Muay Thai and Kickboxing, thanks to One Championship. But shortly after being exposed to the sport I discovered Buakaw and I was immediately captivated by his seemingly effortless ability to dispose of world class level fighters! First I watched a every career highlights video I could find on him, and then all the full fights available on YT and mini documentaries. It's just incredible to me to see him do what he does in a sport that has been around for so long and has so many dangerous fighters that compete so often from such a young age! Buakaw is the closest thing I've seen to a real life super hero🦸

      @HexenStar Před 5 měsíci

      Boxing has seen a lot of rule changes too. A lot of things inconceivable by today's standards have
      been allowed there had it been 150 years ago. changes kept coming up even after Queensberry rules.
      Judo had rule changes. The early UFC had almost no rules, and that got changed. Most rule changes
      exist to propel the sport forward, not to take it backward.
      In the case of K1 clinch rules, as much as ego-stroking as some of us would like to have it - but no,
      those changes were made out of simple calculation. To take the sport FORWARD, not backward.
      If the clinch rules remained free, then most of K1 fighters would immediately be at a disadvantage
      and would have to learn the new skills - just like MMA fighters had to learn grappling, courtesy of
      the Gracies. It so happens that the dominant form of ground game in the modern MMA - is BJJ.
      So, same would have to happen with kickboxing, eventually blurring the lines between it and
      muai thai.
      Not only the required time for athletes to reorganize and perform at the required level would be
      detrimental to the promotion itself, but also it would relegate the discipline itself to being a
      subdivision of a martial art that is far less marketable on its own (due to multiple reasons).
      Thus, a middle ground was found, where the rearrangement of the sport was minimal and at the
      same time shared enough common denominator with neighboring disciplines, allowing athletes
      to be competent enough at both. Such as Buakaw, John Wayne Parr, Rob Kaman.

That'd be the blazing fast, viper-like speed w/ his pinpointed laser-like accuracies, & nearly flawless vicious ballistic missile-like devastating power associated w/ a perfect timing. These seem to be his most effective weapons that had attributed him to dominate in his wt. class. Btw, he seems a well-mannered & respectful gentleman. Zillion thanks for this superbly constructed long video. Enjoyed & appreciated it to the core.,,,,,(11/04/23)

      Yes, I'm in love w/ adjectives. How about you?,,,,You have a grandiose rest of Saturday wherever you are, & take care.@@TimmyTurner421

      The usage of adjectives seems to embellish the efficacy of the sentences, though or otherwise it might be too plain or dull. I wonder if you'd concur w/ me.,,,,,Sayonara.

    I love how after a knockout he simply walks off or stands still, doesn’t try to get any cheap shots

      There isn’t a ground game in Muay Thai, so how would he be able to do cheap shots on a downed opponent???

    Props to that Dutchman. He really showed Baukaw what he needed to improve on. And Baukaw delivered retribution in Thai form.

      Parr in his first title fight also exposed Buakaw's weekness. He is an Australian and he trained in MuayThai gym in Thailand for years . He retired about a decade ago and opens MuayThai gym in Australia. His daughter is also good in MuayThai.
