Never heard about the guy before i read this thread. His striking doesn't look high level in muay thai standards.Lol you can tell he has a good PR guy. Just look at his wiki page, it is longer than Buakaw's.

They should stop letting KO'd fighters recover and keep fighting, but allow groin shots.
I agree with you. I am Canadian and no one outside of the fight world knows who he is (despite him desperately trying to get press). He is a mediocre m. thai guy who knew he wasn't goibg to do well, so he picked a smaller, unknown sport where he woukd stand a better chance. He pulled the same stunt when he was tying to be a grappled/mma guy. He was getting mopped up so he became a sambo guy. Trust me..sambo is not big in Canada. Hehe ao a guy like Leduc coukd do well.Leduc is a muay thai trained fighter. He has a massive publicity department trying to sell him hard all over the internet. Most of the stuff he says is nonsense and not advancing the sport at all because to everyone outside of Myanmar nobody is buying it.
Leduc is the most vocal with his PR team, but if you look deeper you will see much more than Lethwei than him. He is a muay thai fighter fighting Lethwei. The fights between Tun Tun Min and Cyrus Washington really grabbed the international audience, dave slid in after that as I felt Tun Tun Min was already fading. Dave won the last fight when Tun Tun Min injured his knee and couldn't continue. Right now, he is trying hard to sell himself all over the place but he is not really a great rep for lethwei but for now it is what it is. He is muay thai guy and most of the opponents he faces outside the main lethwei guys is in muay thai even in the lethwei ring. Dave is a good example of a C Muay Thai competitor being able to make a name for himself in Myanmar against a limited field. He is in a limited lethwei category since they are not developing new up and coming champions but relying on the same favorites and keeping them rolling. Dave waving the Myanmar flag and trying to be Burmese is odd and a juvenile bit of cultural appropriation. He demanded belts for his fights so now you have tons of belts all over the place from different organizations. If he brings in a few people to the art then its definitely good, but hopefully they look deeper than him. There is a lot going on under the surface as you can see.
Yes he beat an old wasup out of shape diesellekwait this Leduc beat Diesellek ???
Seems more like people with knowledge reading through the BS than hate to me. I mean, the guy is calling himself "The King of Lethwei"...Leduc is getting a lot of hate ITT.
