Buakaw: Left hook still sharp

Muay Thai promotion “All Star Fight” was held on Sunday August 20 in Bangkok. Televised event from Workpoint Entertainment Studio produced a nine-fight bill featuring local and international competitors. Famed Buakaw Banchamek headlined the show in a welterweight battle against French Azize Hlali.

Scheduled for three rounds encounter didn’t go the distance. In the final 20 seconds of the first round Buakaw landed a vicious left hook, dropping Hlali to the canvas. The referee gave the latter an eight count, however waved the fight off seeing that the Frenchman was unable to continue, although he had his hands up.

Post-fight Banchamek Gym posted a video and a set of photos on its page on Facebook. “The left hook is still sharp,” says the caption also advising that Hlali was “sent to sleep” alike Yoshihiro Sato and Hiroki Shishido during the great era of K-1 World Max.

The victory put Buakaw on a ten-fight winning streak he is riding since October 2015. With an updated record 230-23-12, 69 KO he is expected to headline Kunlun Fight Paris on November 11. Hlali droped to 91-13-1.
