Reflexes and speed count. The saying a good big man will always beat a good little man only applies when those attributes are equally matched.

Not exactly news. You see it every day on TV. I was surprised last night though as an Italian Guy actually defeated a Thai boxer.

By KO or on the judges card?

Although taller,  you can see from the first kick to the chest sent the bigger guy back.  The Thai boxer has been training his whole life but has learned to distribute all his weight into the kick and can manhandle the bigger opponent because he hasn't learned to distribute his weight down low.

Judges card. I occasionally see a foreigner KO a Thai, but they are few and far between. As with any sport I like competitors to be of similar ability but not many foreigners have stepped up to the plate.

To train yourself into a fitness state like Saenchai is,

is hard work and thriving for permanent improvement.

One day your new trained tactic works the next day its an old hat.

 

There is no reason to talk bad over him, his fights are the result for hard labor and he deserves highest respect and celebration as much as other fighters like for example Eleider Alvarez in Columbia, Olexandr Usyk in Russia or Anthony Joshua UK.

 

For some people its a strange sport where people are supposed to hurt themselves.

I for myself stick to sport fishing, hurts less, keeps the bones in order and every fish in the frying pan is a victory.

I’ve seen a number of foreigners who have upper and lower body strength knock out Thai  Muay Thai. Those that won over powered

with upper strength. Which looks like the Thai weren’t accustomed to

Multiple head shots at once. 

 

Recently it looks like when Thai are fighting a foreigner there prepared 

for the head shots and defend properly.

 

video didn’t play and can’t tell is its traditional boxing or MT. One guy 

looks to have some type of shoes on.

It's traditional Muay Thai. And the shoes are bandages on both fighters' feet.

I was expecting one of those big fat European guys you get in the ring in Pattaya?

I think you must be a fit guy to get involved in that sort of training . A bit dodgy for normal over 60s , I am envious .

In the western world a thorough medical would be given prior to that type of exertion , did that happen to you ?

A lot of regular boxing trainers have helped them up the game, the hands used to be deadful in general
