70s muay thai ko.

[Jimmy Jazz]

do you think they fought differently back then?

 

[Kanka]

Yeah, more ring movement back then, more emphasis on balance now i think.

They used a bit smaller gloves so that might affect the way of fighting too.

Kicking, clinching and overall defense IMO improved a bit, the stance most Thais use nowadays looks much more comfortable to kick from.

I love watching Saensak though, so much drive and heart. One of my favorites from that era. Very offense-oriented, like many in his time.
