Who is GOAT in your eyes? Buakaw or Saenchai? What did you think of the legendary fight? Learn from Legends: www.lawrencekenshin.com

This was strangely heartwarming. It's rare to see fighters who respect each other this much. A class act from both of them.

As you said: Buakaw is a monster - Saenchai is a wizard. The fight was great! not really full-power from either, but a great seminar on skill, power and spirit.

damn. this video was full of humour until the real fight at the end, then it was a raw breakdown with excellent informational pauses showing setups and other technical information, and then finished me off entirely with the sentiment at the end. Quality video, quality commentary, quality breakdown, quality fight and 2 top tier muay thai legends.

Sad to see that Saenchai was forced to trade blows instead of doing his wizardry. Maybe Buakaw is aging a bit better than Saenchai. Regardless, great video man. Thanks!

Saenchai looks scared since round 1, his rhythm faster than usual. Buakaw power is no joke, his balance is superb!

I didn't even want to watch the fight because I really admire both fighters. Both fighters are absolutely great. I can't describe it, but the fight made me very sad. Friends fighting each other. I would have preferred to see them both fight together against 2 other fighters.

Nothing but respect and admirationfor both these legends. And you too Lawrence.

I think a lot of people are missing the reason why Buakaw overwhelmed Saenchai. Saenchai isn't used to people walking through his offense like that, and Buakaw took the fight where he was strongest with strategy and skill. They're both elite fighters, and while strength obviously does matter, that's not even the main factor here. In Jiu-jitsu, I'm able to give some of the higher belts problems because they're unfamiliar with some of the catch wrestling techniques I use, and my guard is really hard to pass. Other people are able to exploit my game by taking me where I'm not comfortable, even though I've trained longer than them. Personal style is a bigger factor than many realize. Everyone's got weaknesses, and even if you're incredibly well rounded, they can and will be exploited.

You couldn’t go wrong naming either one as the GOAT. I’ve gotta give it to Saenchai for his playful spirit in what is a pretty brutal sport.

When skills are equal its always difficult to combat a taller fighter with longer reach, even though Saenchai often outclasses bigger fighters with pure technique. This was a fight i really didn't like to see because of the close bond of friendship they both share, which has always been an aspect of comp fighting I've never enjoyed.

When two great fighters fight, there is no winning or losing because both have millions of fans cheering for them. Both will live in our memories forever!

Saenchai has Buakaw beat when it comes to technique. But Buakaw has that raw physical prowess that Saenchai’s techniques couldn’t overcome. This was an amazing match between two equally respectable legends who made Muay Thai the martial art that it is today.

Love this video, thanks LK! Going to watch it beginning-to-end later today!

People said when you faced against overwhelming power tricks are useless. I love their spirit in the ring. Respect for both legends!

The interaction and respect between these 2 great champions is beyond this world. A lot of fighters should learn from this!

Loved this analysis! Thanks so much. These are two of my fave fighters!

I've rarely seen videos of this quality, love you Lawrence

Thanks LK, I really enjoy your vids, and I can’t get enough Saenchi/Buakaw content.

That ear flinch was the WORST! 😂 These are great and respectable men. Many humans could learn from this. Great video. Absolutely love it.

I moved to thailand 3 months ago and said id love to see buakaw vs saenchai and a few days later this was announced so i bought tickets cost me £50 and i was sat about 20metres from the ring so cheap compared to tickets at the 02 back home for boxing and ufc

Melancholy fight to watch. Happy yet sad… Wanted a legit draw if possible. I think the best part though is that they both got a big payday.

They are both the GOAT. Ive had the fortune to work with Saenchai personally, it was an amazing experience both from an educational standpoint, and just to be around such a warm and kind person. I hope someday i am able to meet Buakaw as well, i have the deepest respect for both fighters. Regardless of outcome, this would always be a fight for all time. Thank you for making this video 👍

Again a very well crafted video, thank you very much indeed!

One of the best videos I've seen in a long time! I've been watching both of these legends for years, and never been let down. The amount of talent and sportsmanship is incredible.

Saenchai and Buakaw are equally great but Buakaw's fight style is literally Saenchai's weakness. It's like having 2 pokemons with the same stats but Saenchai is an electric type while Buakaw is ground type.

This was a banger Lawrence Kenshin. ❤

Bro saying "Roy Jones Jr." as Buakaw weaves was great LOL. They are both incredible fighters but I enjoy watching Saenchai's fights more. His antics & huge variety of techniques grabs my attention like few others. Great video 🤙

I been watching both of these elite fights for years now and they're both my favorite Muay Thai fighters. This was truly a AMAZING show of craftsmanship and skills from both. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

They are both 2 amazing great fighters . It’s great to see how close their bond is , they both truly have deep respect for each other 🥊💯. Excellent brake down as always Lawrence.

I have forgotten to watch this fight. Thanks for the resume of this one. Well edited ! In this bout Buakaw was dominant. You can see that Saenchai is a bit overwhelmed from the differents skills that Buakaw presents him. In my eyes Saenchai is the kind of fighter that fit my style. But I love Buakaw will to fight, a true beast ! I wouldn't pick any of them as the GOAT since they offer something different to Muay Thai. Career wise I would say Saenchai for the longevity. But again this is just to choose one between the two. Loved the respect showed in this last fight ! Muay Thai is the winner there ! 😘

Amazing fight and fighters, both legends. Their moments and friendship are also beautiful to see, great humans enjoying their lives

I find it hilarious to watch dead serious breakdowns of two buddies playing what is essentially grab ass in the Muay Thai world 😂

this was not about anger hate or ego this was about skill respect friendship and was heartwarming to see.

What a match, 2 of the biggest names still fighting today. I have watched so many fights featuring both of these guys, truly motivational and inspiring.

Thank you for the beautiful content Laurence 🙏🏼

When an unstoppable force meets an immovable rock! Water vs Stone! A match up of a century. Thank you lord for keeping me alive to watch this masterpiece

I love them both, but felt so bad for them in the fight. Bare nuckle fight with your best friend😢 Both of these two have amazing skills, perhaps saenchai slightly more so (at least more theatrical skills), but, the skills in combination with the physique and raw power of Buakaw is soo impressive. It feels like Saenchais words were to the Thai spectators and from his heart - as far as I understand the history, Buakaw could have been a GOAT at lumpinee but got screwed, or at the very least, the bad split with por pramuk removed his chances in Thailand. ❤

WHAT!? I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED!? I LOVE THAT THIS HAPPENED. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

buen video sacaste kenshin!

I was there! So cool 😎 Buakaws entrance was epic lol

Amazing true sportsman spirit for both guys, Saenchai is a legend, Buakaw is the GOAT

"real" a real pay day But glad they did it but it wasn't like a full on try to take eachother out fight

This was an awesome breakdown.

Saenchai is too kind and playful to hit as hard as Buakaw, nor is his body built as strong, but his wisdom and skills are top of the top. They can't bully each other when serious like they can just about any other person. Buakaw and Saenchai are so close in ability the main difference is how they are as people, you may have a favorite but both earned #1 so it's a matter of opinion

Awesome respect shown towards each other. All I see is 2 brothers rough housing and just living their best lives.

Buakaw as the perfect physic for Muay Thai

I still think they held back in that fight because they are friends. And that's understandable.

vid itself is good enough but your deadpan narration is what makes this hilarious. "oil checks him into submission" lmao

These are both GOATs for their own reasons. It was a great match up. They both gave it their all, as you'd expect, from 2 fighters that have souch respect for each other.

Even though Saenchai said that he doesn't want people to think that it's about the size, but fact is that size did matter a lot in this fight.. especially when they both are at the top, plus you are best friend (meaning they know each others very well) Great video.. funny and a bit sad though😂

Fantastic video.

it was a great fight , this would have been the outcome any time they would have fought , Buakaw just has a much more aggressive dangerous style , but both of these guys are absolute legends and are in amazing condition ...what a good fight

Nice Video!❤

The latest sparring match was almost all fun. Almost not serious. The one when they were younger was alittle more serious but still fun.. They are the goats in their own way. Even in the match they held back. You think Buakaw was unable knock him Seanchai bare knuckle? They held back a little out of respect. Buakaw always edged it my opinion.

Great video !!

What saw is two brothers playing and it's heartwarming +entertaining too

Nice friendly fight, love them both. Legends

You put up one of the best .uay thai videos ever

Both are GOATs. From years of friendship they knew each others styles very well. Buakaw had the edge in physicality and age plus Buakaw's familiarity with Saenchai's tricks plays in his favor as well. Saenchai was very game and full of heart to take these disadvantages and still produce a treat to all watchers. Big heart to both fighters.

What a pair of legends. Have really enjoyed watching both of them.

Refreshing to see respect between these two legends. Compare this with UFC's trash-talk galore...

I don't know much about muay thai, but as far as I hear, Saenchai is considered far more decorated, fighting up in weight just to find competition, etc. Whereas Buakaw is a kickboxing legend and star from what he did in K-1, and perhaps more famous globally for the exposure that granted him.

Whats the name of the first Music????

Epic video, thank you LK ! Obviously impossible to choose a side in this case, they are both incredible fighters with each their way to express their mastery. Glad they won't fight each other again though, I prefer watching them having fun together, and I think Buakaw was a going a little too hard on Saenchai. Cheers

With my classic muay Thai style. The knee comes through the heel. The toes stand through the fist. The middle arch of the foot is counter to the hips and waist. Inside foot is hips. Outside foot is waist. Not ready for real sparring until achieving inside outside footwork is fast enough for running.

If Buakaw is missing anything in skill, he makes up for it with his steel-like endurance and power. Saenchai prob has a bit more skill but that is one of many factors

Kinda has Dieselnoi vs. Samart vibes. Crazy that this fight happened.

It's just so great that they're friends and brought Muay Thai to the world together - especially Buakow in the prime of K1. They literally play footie, go to the gym and saunas together. They're just great dudes who've paid their dues (and then some) and deserve to enjoy their respective legacies and each other

I always knew buakaw will win if they fight, cuz I've been watching them for a long time thats why it was obvious for me to guess

Buakaw All Day long. Diffrent fighters we cant compare my friends Buakaw is smartest

Great vid about their friendship. To me, it defeats the purpose of "finding out" who is "greater" at this level of Muay Thai. It's anaemic, immature and "shallow" to say either is 'better' than the other. These are both Muay Thai legends and they are also good friends. There's no way either will fight all out in any competition. To have them spar with one another for a good look at all aspects of Muay Thai is already a treat in itself. Deep deep respect to both of them. 🤘💪💪💪💥🙏🙏🙏

Love this! ❤

Both these guys are legends in their own right.

We are all very fortunate to have the chance to watch these two master’s career.

What are their weights ?

Nice content there are both the best

I started to realize that this is Saenchai first lost to a Thai fighter since 2014

Saenchai looked like he is slowing down. Buakaw looked lean and mean. props to both

I love buakaw, I always prefered watching him fight compared to Saenchai. But pound for pound, Saenchai is the more technical fighter, and i think he gave him that win. Buakaw has the power though, combined his poise and conditioning, you can't spar agsinst that with just technique at a weight disadvantage. The power will rock your balance. Saenchai was very generous and gracious with his words and to even take the fight. Just my 2c

If you didnt know these guys were in their 40s youd never guess. Awesome fighters, awesome skill

That Going Super Amazing Art of Fighters, I'm hope and wish To be Able To see The Art Of Fighters...

I need more info on k1 banning knees after buakaw fight. who did he fight first of all?

Holy crap 2 of my longtime fav GOATS recently did a no glove MT match?? 🤯

I never thought to see them both actually fight each other in the ring

Buakaw is a skilled and one of the goats but the size does play a big a factor in this fight. Saenchai is a respectful legend for not bringing up the size difference. No doubt Buakaw won this fight

I remember seeing this fight. It made me sad watching them fight and seeing the after-video of Buakaw going to see Saenchai at the hospital. You could tell they took the fight seriously.

Thank you! 🥷🏿🙏Oos!

They are friends and will never fight all out. So that fight was an act of respect for one another.

Both are the true warriors with full of respectfulness for their opponents

That fight was like a tank Vs a wizard. Both where amazing non the less

Wow... Such AMAZING fighters.

Like Goku vs Krillin.. Awesome Guys. Loved the respect

The Buakaw-Saenchai fight seemed, to me at least, to have geared the rules toward a more direct and over-all less technical fighting style, which Buakaw seems to favor: by taking out the possibility of a longer-clinch and sweeping, I think they gave a little less advantage to Saenchai (He's a technical wizard, and loves using his brain much more than his brawn)

What a great explained video

Every guy needs a friend like either of these guys. Best buds (I hope) for life : )

Respect and love these Two Legends!

2 of the best.. in different ways

I saw him fighting in Italy about 19-20 years ago when he was young. I was always struck by the intelligence with which he faced his opponents. What a great fighter..!

In that first spar, Saenchai is telling him which foot he’s going to kick with. Savage.
