Broken Sword Hero made him look alot younger
Buakaw KO again! This guy is just hitting his stride in this mid 30s. I disagree with the commentator saying that he's towards the end of his career. What? Not according to the results and the fact that he keeps getting more lethal, more savvy, more experienced. Guess if Buakaw decides that he's getting bored, then that is when he'll say adios....
Casual spotted. Someone has never seen Buakaw in his prime...
This is huge news. Kunlun has English commentary now? For this I am willing to actually pay instead of trying to download after the fact when possible. I am going to have to try to hook my Android phone up to my tv now somehow so I can watch full screen and figure out how to jump through all those awkward payment hoops.
the eyes of love see what they want to see
Oh please, every praise for his skills from a woman is reduced to "she must be in awe or in love" or stupid comments someone here made about a female commentator so-called panting after Superbon's body (something about marriage!) because she said how good his skills were when he fought Mohamed.... Jeez. Sounds like certain people already have their minds somewhere in the gutter....LOL.. In fact, that might have been a comment on one of the YouTube videos, but I'm tired of reading about "hero worship" here and other belittling comments, etc. Why can't a fighter just be admired normally by men and women alike?
I'm in awe that a 35 year old is as devastating as any 23 year old young kickboxer....enough to KO him in the air. If you can't see that he's in some ways better than before, then there are blind fans for sure.
Yes, youth is important and you don't have that wear and tear, however experience means just as much; honed technique and sizing up your opponent from head to toe, knowing their weakness and when to go in for the right shot, is not something a young buck is as good at. He's a better boxer than in his K1 years I'd wager. That's obvious at least.

Umm no, he's much slower in execution compared to his prime, and he have been fighting mostly guys that are not the top talent, which is why he's still winning, you need to be observing who he is fighting as well and that's the arrangement for Buakaw the past couple of years. Besides he don't need to prove anything to anyone, like Petrosyan they can pick and choose their fights.
I've pointed out how he's fighting pretty much the best European fighters. His last one was a nobody, the guy who probably should have won a decision over Kiria who made it to the final 8 in Kunlun Fight? If Bon couldn't KO Kiria who arguably should have lost to Toutouh, then I'd argue Bua is as good as the top guys fighting Kunlun, Glory, Enfusion, etc.. Kuliaba who DID make it to the final 4 and who Buakaw easily handled under full MT rules is a nobody? Really? Are you observing who he's fighting or ignoring them conveniently?
If he'd go back to fighting Thais and take on Sittichai or Bon (of course not in reality, same gym and all), I'd bet my money on him for sure.
What you call slow and sluggish, I'd call calculating and measured. What I'm also shocked by is how he manhandles tough fighters, tossing them with ease like trash onto their hands and knees or whichever way they end up.... Never see other fighters do it quite like that! The KO was wow, of course, slightly feinting a teep, and then skipping up to toss a left hook like it's nothing.... And just because he's fighting cans, of course, that's why.....
