I know I'm like a broken record about this but it baffles me how highly people rate Saiyok on here. The guy is aggressive but Buakaw easily has more talent and would handle him. Even Khem at this point has lost some luster and skill-wise, was always a good match up for Buakaw.
Sittichai, Aikpracha and Sudsakorn have the skills to outpoint Buakaw.

As for Gevorg, forget the alleged mistreatment he suffered in Thailand - the guy will never fight a top rung Thai even if it's in Italy. He's had plenty of opportunities to do so but opted for K-1 or modified rules. Not blaming him though. He's the big name and should set the terms.

So you're saying that Sittichai (OK, maybe), but Buakaw, Kem, SUDSAKORN and Aikpracha are all heaps better than Saiyok?

Boooo this man, booooo....

Watson drew Aikpracha into a war, had close fights with Buakaw and Yod circa 2010, against Saiyok he was just frustrated. Saiyok is wilier than Aikpracha, more evasive, and on the basis of their last five fights (barring the Saiyok/Khamal travesty) has better kicks and equally good hands.

IMO I would put Saiyok in there against Kem or Buakaw, and fancy his chance (less so against Kem).

Yes, that's where I put Saiyok. He looks good against guys who are not on his level, whom he can blitz with his telegraphed anger-combos but all the guys I listed would force him to fight a more tactical fight and outpoint him. We'll never know until they fight though and you're welcome to stick my nose in it if I'm wrong
