What kind of good striking technique? I really like technical striking, especially guys that combine the best of MT and boxing so here's my recent picks:

- Florian vs. Huerta. I think Florian combined some very boxing-esque ring generalship with his Muay Thai to absolutely dominate Huerta in a one side fashion. In this fight Florian was the Matador and Huerta was the bull.
- BJ Penn: GREAT boxing against Sherk. Gave him a black eye just by sticking that jab consistently and often. And then a flying knee. wow.
- Forrest Griffin also displayed great stick and move against Jackson

and jackson displayed brilliant head movement and combos that fight too...

spencer fisher vs. sam stout - spencer used great hand skills and stay light on his feet, and stout has good kickboxing skills

 

[Brando]

Check out Pulver vs Gomi. Easy find on Youtube. Jens was working a lot of good catch and counters.. I should go back and watch it again.

 

[Tropics1020]

Felix Trinidads early fights. Textbook style.

 

[KneeGrenade]

Anything with Spencer Fisher when he didn't get grounded by rasslers. I'm impressed with Tyson Griffin as well and the boxing progress he made.

oh man, no k1 fight yet?

of you're talking bout techniques, good combo's, footwork, textbook style striking, ive got:

-badr hari vs remy bonjasky (you'll see why these 2 would never fight each other again)
-hoost vs JLB 1999 (hoost taught JLB a lesson in techniques)
-Manny Pacquiao vs JMM 2 (man it was a war!)
-Manny pacquiao vs David Diaz (total domination textbook style)
-Tito Trinidad Vs William Joppy (vicious trinidad put on a clinic)
-alexey Ignashov vs remy bonjasky (despite losing this one, iggy showed great reflex and timing)
-mike bernardo vs butterbean (patient bernardo picks butterbean apart with leg kicks in the earlier rounds that lead to a brutal ownage in the end)
-andy hug vs glaube feitosa (non stop fireworks, beautiful kicks and combinations)
-sakmongkol vs perry ubeda (sakmongkol showed a lot of heart in this epic war. kept fighting despit injuring himself)
-hoost vs mike bernardo 1998 (superb knockdown exchanges, in the end hoost drops bernardo with one of the most vicious leg kick ive seen followed by a left hook for good)
-buakaw vs sato 3 (non stop exchange of combo, sato showed why he is the number 1 leg kicker in japan)
-andy souwer vs virgil kalakoda (just watch and enjoy, one of the most entertaining fights ive seen, kalakoda showed excellent boxing and handspeed but souwer showed why experience is a factor)
-masato vs artur kyshenko (kyshenko surprised masato with good combo's. powerful body shots and leverage, but masato kept his composure and paid well for him)
-kaolan kaovichit vs kohi (muay thai textbook style)
-ryu narujima vs everyone in kyokushin tourneys (his high kick is like a death sentence)
-mark hunt vs ray sefo (lots of taunting, both has granite chin)
-anderson silva vs everyone (he's just beautiful to watch. grace and power in one)
-there's a lot more
