    Black Mamba was getting some pretty good shots in, at around 2:10 he lands two very hard left hooks. I would have like to see this fight go another round or so I really think the ref called it early. what about you guys

    *correction at 2:09 he lands a left straight then follows with a jawing left hook

  • 3 natemuaythaimaster // Oct 1, 2008 at 5:25 pm

    *another correction, meant to say jarring not jawing left hook*

  • 4 natemuaythaimaster // Oct 1, 2008 at 5:25 pm

    *and another correction Buakaw’s still the shit!

    Nice KDs. I was wrong with prediction.
    Love to see Buakaw winning, anyone knows what’s his status with K-1?

    Buakaw’s leg catch to left hook move is nasty.

  • 7 colargol // Oct 1, 2008 at 6:46 pm

    Yes. I like how he fakes with the right shoulder and then goes in with the left hook. Nice to see Buakaw win but it was a little too easy; Buakaw just mowed him down without even going from 1st gear.

    I’m still concerned that Buakaw is under-utilizing his kicks. You can’t really tell from this fight b/c it’s short and he took what was there, but I still want to see the old teep and roundhouse Buakaw.

    I like the old kicking machine Buakaw, but he seems to have modified his style for K-1 and it is getting him the KOs.

    tong po - yeah its getting him KOs but its getting him KOed too!

    Black Mamba looks HUGE, doesn’t he??? Like he’s two weight classes above Buakaw… or are my eyes fooling me? Wasn’t a problem for Buakaw, though.

    BPP has stated before that against taller fighters, his camp trains him to box more.

  • 13 ShadyEskimo // Oct 2, 2008 at 10:34 am

    Horc00 - Check!
    Tong Po - I just wished(and dont we all) that the Rulechanges Never happende and Clinching and Several knees still were allowed!

  • 14 horc00 // Oct 2, 2008 at 10:43 am

    Honestly I would rather not see him KO with punches.
    I prefer watching him dominate fights and win by decisions like when he fought Jordan Tai, Vasily Shish, Kohi and Masato (2004)

  • 15 xamarceaux // Oct 2, 2008 at 4:26 pm

    I agree with horc00, it’s more fun to watch Buakaw punish his opponent.

  • 16 nopstar // Oct 2, 2008 at 9:06 pm

    Seeing Black Mamba’s reaction when he loses is classic. It’s obvious the guy is a BPP fan. He’s obviously disappointed but you can tell he’s psyched just to be in there.

  • 17 ShadyEskimo // Oct 4, 2008 at 9:35 pm

    Black Mamba looks like a drunk Eskimo at a town party LOL

  • 18 ShadyEskimo // Oct 4, 2008 at 9:40 pm

    But I would act that way too IF I was consious after the fight!!! But Horc00 and Xamarceaux excatly my longing! Buakaw like in his K1 beginning! And KOMA! Why cant we see likes of Namsaknoi or Saenchai in K1. I realize the Danger of taking away the Weapons of these living legends with Silly K1 rules, But I would change the Rules just to get them showcased in K1 and increase the audience numbers.
