The fraud vs the legend...
The first couple of matches were alright, the dude from Belarous or basically the white dude who does muay thai was fucking excellent!!! Good counters, cuts off the ring, high kicks executed flawlessly!!! He wins two fights that night. I feel like he should be the standard to what western MT fighters should do. I still have hope for muay thai against kickboxing and sanshou.
But lets get down two what we wanted to watch Buakaw vs Yi long. The build up was amazing, you could say its the chinese version of Pacquiao vs Mayweather, in fact they showed a clip of that fight as well. As the match begins Yi long's awkward fighting style proves difficult for the veteran Buakaw. Being tripped and hit many times. The first round I would say definitely Yi long. Buakaw did come back during the first round but I say Yi long did more. Second round was basically Buakaw doing the fundamentals, knee the puncher. A lot of the knees actually affected Yi long, buakaw gets the second round. Third round buakaw still controls the fight that is until he gets hit with a spinning back fist, or arm. I've seen buakaw defeat Enriko Kehl, a dude who makes his money on spinning back fist or elbows. How did this happen? Well maybe Yi long hid this move well, or buakaw got careless. It actually happen twice. Even though buakaw did well enough to dominate the third round, i felt that it should of gone to extra round. In fact I want to see a rematch. This was no blow out, this was an embarrassment. Through out many fights i felt like buakaw isnt the same man as he used to be: Methodical, Strategizing, quick and controlling. Here is the fight:
