Best jabs in muay thai?

[heine]

Hi, I'm looking for videos / examples of good jab use in muay thai fights.
Pornsaneh uses his jab quite often to set up his lowkicks, but apart from him most MT fighters don't seem to jab very frequently...

I'm a fan of the pop in Jomthong's jabs.

Thanks wallysparx, I'll check out more of his fights.
Also found this video of Petchmorrakot using a ridiculous reach advantage quite effectively by jabbing. However he usually seems to be mainly a clinch fighter.

Buakaw has a pretty accurate jab with good timing, though punching isn't his game.

Samart Payakaroon comes to mind.



He lost in this particular fight, but he's the only Thai fighter to be a WBC boxing champion and a Lumpini champion at the same time. I might also be a little biased cause he was my coach for a short period of time.

Muay Thai technique for standup hand striking is different from boxing mainly because a Muay Thai fighter has to watch out for kicks.

There's a pretty good iPhone app that covers Muay Thai striking technique that you might want to check out.

Jomthong and Samart are both very good examples as they did a lot of pro boxing. Jomthong's camp focuses a lot on hands as well.
