Please don't say Yodsanklai again and again haha
 
Ghita has the hardest low kicks from what I've seen.
 
I know this is irrelevant to the thread, but I was wondering who are some thai fighters that are really good with hands? Like they are known for consistently knocking other fighters out with their hands. I know there was a thread made about this topic but I can't find it and I don't remember any of the fighters except for Samart and Galaxy.

There's the thread you were probably looking for.
 
Overall kicker, Ghita definitely. Less low kicks lately, a LOT more middle kicks. Zimmerman was basically over after a head kick and a couple body kicks. Makes you appreciate Saki even more for taking Ghita's kicks punishment for 4 rounds in 2010.
 
Ghita at heavyweight.
Wakeling at middleweight
watson at lightweight
 
If you would of asked this question in 2010 I would of said Kongsak.

What happened to Kongsaks kicks? I dont know if anyone else has noticed but they used to be extremely powerful and today they still are but not like they used to be. Remember when he fought Pornsaneh in 2010. Those kicks looked horrible! He broke Pornsanehs arm during that fight and afterwards porn shaved off his head and become a monk for a month. I know because during that month I was at Sitmonchai.

So what do you think happened to Kongsaks kicks? Was it to do with him moving up in weight, did he have an injury or is it just my imagination? And its not just the power of his kicks that changed. Its the way he throws them as well. It seems different if you compare him to his fights in 2010 to his fights in 2015.

Apart from Kongsak pound for pound sittichai has hard kicks. He dropped Murthel with a body kick. Singdam and Superlek have powerful kicks. Yodsanklai is another one that still has powerful kicks but they dont seem as powerful as they used to be. Panpayak has a few head kick KO's but thats probably more to do with accuracy and timing rather then brute power.
 
I don't think his kicks are much different, but fighting featherweights he was able to beat them up more. If I remember right he put Pakon and Singthongnoi on the shelf for a bit as well.

Tetsuya Yamato posted a photo of his arm after they fought and it was jacked up pretty good. Kongsak barely got going in that fight.
