    How good is a Thai Boxer in Boxing?

    Thai Boxing Legend Buakaw Banchamek often uploads training videos on his facebook. In this one he does pure Boxing.

    My question is how would you rate his boxing in this video?

    By the way, you have to take into account that Thais have a very hard training plan. Which basically means they are already exhausted when they do technique drills (Mitts etc), they run 1 hour directly before the boxing session and do that all during 30-35°C or 86-95° Fahrenheit. So quite different from your normal boxing routine.
    Lastly, you also have to consider the different style he has from Thai Boxing.

    Ye i know for a fact that Thai boxers push their bodies till their absolute limit and most people in thailand start thaiboxing @ a very young age, since there is so much poverty in thailand many of the kids either chose between trying to pursue muay thai or work on farms etc to be able to help out their families, most of them dont have hobbies cause theyre required to do something with their lifes or starve so those who are talented muay thai fighters 99% of the time are fully dedicated, training pretty much every single day, i asked a farmer when i was in phuket how much he earned a day, he would work 10-12hrs a day and earn 110 baht which is ~3$, and even the aspiring muay thai fighters get paid minimal for their fights, so you have to be really special and work hard as fk to get out of the streets in Thailand

    And ye most thaifighters wont have the boxing skills of western boxing since muay thai is much more centered around clinching and elbows and knees etc, was @ alot of gyms and muay thai shows and youd rarely see anyone throw a jab

    Oh and the link you shared is broken
