When I heard tales of Apidej before I ever got video of him. I pictured this beast that could kick like crazy non-stop for 5 rounds. When I finally got some videos, I was somewhat underwhelmed. Through the years I learned to appreciate it more as I understood what he had talked about through his interviews. He only waited for perfect opportunities kick and that’s how he did damage. He had broken arms and ribs with his kicks and the sounds could be heard in the back of Lumpinee or Rajdamnern as legend had it. My parents didn’t watch muay thai but they knew who Apidej was. He is one of the few boxers that became a household name. I sometimes wonder if old timers embellish on how great the fighters were of the past or if there was something that much different going on in that era.

This should give some good debate to which era and who the greatest of all time is.

Thanks for the post Nop!!
