Boom! The Deadliest Knockout Machine EVER - Buakaw Banchamek

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.
Thank you for such an amazing video and excellent commentary.
🙏

He also graduated master degree with 1 Honorary Master Science Degree in sport, 2 Honorary Doctorate Degree plus he also graduated Ms in 1) Strategy major regional development, 2 ) Sport Management and 1 PhD in other field too . We can call him Dr. Buakaw as well. He is also working in army as a Deputy Squad Commander(still active) and many other charity foundations. He is the true legend!

Buakaw, Saenchai and Rodtang really made me understand this sport is not for the weak.

Buakaw is one of the greatest MT fighters of all time. He’s like the living embodiment of an fearless ancient mythical warrior, a genuine legendary fighter of the 21st century. I feel privileged to have trained and fought in MT during his era of dominance 20 years ago. He was a real inspiration.

Buakaw couldn’t have said it better.. people can say so much about Muay Thai, but when you get that hit from a real true Muay Thai warrior.. there is no comparison.

[KK-xqmc]

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.

[Jaycons]

If his opponent dares to fight in Muay Thai style, he will be even stronger. Most of the fights in the video are Kickboxing, which is like only 70-80% of his fights, but he is still strong. Respect Buakua Banchamek. Thanks for Votesport.

[Ultrachrisk]

The commentary in this absolutely deserves its own championship belt!

[celestialaeonproject]

I remember watching his K-1 domination back in the day. Even against the very best opponents it always seemed like a walk in the park for him. "Ok you can kick first... And now it's my turn"

[Pazuzu]

It really amazes me how these Muay Thai fighters don't even break their own legs with them kicks, there so ferocious!

[地獄龍-mq]

I remember him well.
He was a really strong player.
He was a great fighter who showed the strength of Muay Thai.
He had many fans in Japan. nostalgic.

I had the privilege to train with Buakav for 3 months. After practicing MMA for 15 years at AMC and with Cru Ramirez in Seattle/Tacoma among other places, I thought that I knew and had seen everything. Boy was I wrong. I have never seen anyone as quick and powerful as Cru Buakav. Absolutely vicious and learned so much.

[povang]

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.

[hunginfocus]

Saw him train in real life recently and his still a beast. I'm so proud to have trained in Banchamek Gym 😍

[michaelweisbeck]

Pound for pound I believe he's the best fighter I've ever had the honor to witness. An absolute monster in the ring, incredible.

[TonyMarGuitar]

Buakaw is the real life Baki Hanma, this dude has been an inspiration to me for many years. His tenacity and work ethic is unmatched. Truly a remarkable human being.

[christopherespinosa]

He was one of the most exciting fighters to watch .. hands down for me. You knew he was gonna put on a good fight every single time he stepped into that ring. I loved that about him. He had no quit in him. Mad respect 🙏🏼.. What an honor it was to watch this man work.
