The word Legend has been so overused that it's basically meaningless at this point, but Saenchai is a legend in the truest sense of the word. Awesome video.
Dude PLEASE keep up the Muay Thai uploads, I'm a hobbyist and it's kind of hard to explain this sport to casual viewers, so these help a ton to show friends.
MUAY THAI IS ANCIENT SKILL ALMOST A RELIGION IN THAILAND AND KICK BOXING CAME LIKE MODERN VERSION OFF THIS SPIRITUAL SPORT THAT YOU CAN SEE AT BEGINING OFF VIDEO,THERE ARE LOTS OFF THINGS ABOUT MUAY THAI THAT INCLUDE SPIRITUAL PREPARATION BEFORE MATCH.....IT IS ALL LINKED ...FROM STRENGHTING YOUR BODY ON BRUTAL WAY AND SOO ON...
I'm from Pakistan 🇵🇰 & i never knew muay thai fighters. First i saw Bukaw documentary & now this. I'm amazed & shocked at what a legendary fighters these warriors are. Thank you Vincent for these spectacular documentaries. Keep up the great work, you're a legend too. 👏
I haven’t even watched it yet and GRATEFUL that you have given him the respect that he deserves!!!! After the fantastic work that you did with Buakow, I am SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS!!!!!!! I am blessed to have met and trained with him and the language and ethnic barrier was no barrier! THANK YOUUUUUUUUU Would you consider YODSANKLAI next?
@@GinoNL Fantastic question but impossible to figure out without bias. Prime to Prime...short answer is Saenchai. Buakow gives Saenchai all the respect as an elder and pioneer and Buakow fought out of his weight class during his prime which is amazing in itself, so you know that the power and fury is there. (As is the ability to absorb which is also key). Saenchai is just Saenchai though and to see him fight world class champions NOW while he is "out of his prime" and dismantle them with a smile on his face seemingly amused that this is what a world champion is in today's world gives you a hint at just how next level Saenchai is. No disrespect to any of his past opponents or the Champions that have stood in front of him. They have fantastic past accolades but the vision of Saenchai to see your next move in your body language is second to none. We are ALL always improving as Nak Muay and both Buakow and Saenchai have contributed to my growth!! (Visit both gyms if you visit thailand and empty your cup...in fact...bring a mug to absorb the knowledge)
@@bluehivecreative Thanks for sharing your thoughts. P4p I agree with you that Senchai would probably have the upper hand. I wonder if Buakow being heavier would be enough because they’re really close regarding talent, in my opinion. Great to hear that they had a positive impact on your life!
The speed in which he switches from goofing and dodging to an extremely powerful front kick, or other attack, that makes experienced fighters fly is amazing.
One of the greatest stand up fighters I’ve ever seen. I was honored to attend a seminar of his a few years back. Full of wisdom! You should definitely check out Lerdsila and Somrak Khamsing next
Muay Thai is so fun I fell in love with it the day I started practicing years ago. Lost 35 kilos doing it Started competing I never found the same love with any other martial arts. The art of 8 limbs is unlike no other Best stand up combat there is SAENCHAI is the greatest to grace the sport along with buakaw yotsenclai and Aussie John Wayne par
I may not understand Muay Thai, but seeing Saenchai uses his technique, tricks, and strikes, just wow! He’s worthy of being the Muay Thai King. Respect to you Saenchai! 🇹🇭😁
Have you ever heard of "Samart Payakaroon"? He's my personal favorite in Muay Thai, but he stood out for his great boxing skills. He actually won the WBC world boxing championship title, if I'm not mistaken. And, despite having a medical issue with his breathing he was able to dominate his competition. "The Muhammed Ali of Muay Thai". I think you'd really enjoy the great head movement and footwork he displayed. You should check him out if you get the chance, Vince Great video as always 👊🏻
The fact that he dominated so much competition whilr having lung issues, he almost never showed that he's tired (except for when he's faking it) just shows his fight iq Buakaw is their brutal Goat, Saenchai is their show boating Goat but Samart is their Goat in terms of skill.
@@remyhavoc4463 Buakaw got his fame because of his success in kickboxing. Being handsome didn't hurt either. But his resume in muay thai is not impressive. He is no where near GOAT status. He is one of the GOATs in kickboxing though. Samart and Saenchai is really number 1 and 2 depending on who you like more.
@JobChapter28 check out The Modern Martial Artist's video about him. He's a f*cking genius. Saenchai is smart but Samart is literally Smart with an extra "A" 😂 There have also been some stories about how he doesn't even train for some of his fights because that's how confident he is in his skills and fight IQ
This man when it comes to art of Muay Thai is a doctor.The most impressive part about this video is how one would earn his respect in the ring. He wins without aggression and dominates with it.
I am truly enjoying the magnificent work you've been making lately. I've grown to truly appreciate the videos highliting all these great athletes that we here in the west do not know about. Please keep this train going. Nobody in the game does it like you. Can't wait to see what your next video will be!
I don't know man let him have his thing, they are both legends. I respect the f out of both fighters and their styles, so elusive, and beatiful to watch.
Those dumps are a thing of beauty. This guy was unreal. So calm and collected but brutally efficient and powerful. They don't call him the GOAT for nothing.
thank you very much Joe for this documentary, Saenchai is a great idol of mine, having practiced Muay Thai for several years he has always been one of my influences, super complete, timing, reaction, speed, technique, iq, everything, what a living legend, the only criticism is the documentary being so small, I wanted to see more 🙏
He really got reflex like a cat , nothing is badass than a clean and swift dodge . Infact i started training in Muay Thai because of him not Tony Jaa , obviously i discovered Muay Thai through Ong bak , i decided to train because of this guy .
One thing I love about this channel is J. Vincent is always introducing to new athletes/fighters that I has not heard of before. I love this channel. Keep them coming!
A true champ not fight with his opponents unfair! Making opponents to clowns is characterless ! Give him once a stronger opponents with experiences! A unfair fighter to my mind !
Fantastic video. This man is a real legend. I did some training at the pit back in 2000 at a spot outside San Luis Obispo. To be clear it was just some training and I was nothing. Not about me at all. But they did muy thai style martial arts. This was under John Hackleman who trained Chuck Lidel. Obviously Chuck Lidel showed supreme skill in muy thai but this guy makes him look like a regular guy. Saenchai is an absolute master.
He is just a true warrior in evry way. You can see how at home he feels in the ring. Pure flowstate its just him demonstrating his prefected art of Muay thai.
I never knew he was undefeated... I watch alot of videos in these years just never knew he was undefeated. He's a prime example of height and size don't matter. He been one of my favorite fighters for a long time.
Undefeated in Thai Fight. His resume is around 400-50 though. You gotta remember through out his career he has given weight to his opponents, even the elite, elite thai fighters he would give a 2lb advantage. His losses come predominantly from clinch fighter smothering him - stopping him from using footwork and, as they are larger than him, they have the power to clinch and wear him down. He also lost to absolute legends in the sport as he was coming up. Samkor, thongchai, he was around 15 or so when he faced them and lost. But they were golden age legends already. He has 1 loss to foreigners in total out of probably 120 fights but again, that was a 12lbs weight advantage with the #1 foreign fighter at the time - he lost cos he played too many games and got outscored.
Samart, along with Dieselnoi and Wichannoi, are the old GOAT contenders. Let me speak what little I know of them to get a bigger picture: *In terms of skills, no one was better than Samart Payakaroon.* Not even Saenchai's coach, Somrak Khamsing, who won the Gold in boxing in the olympics the same year that Floyd Mayweather lost. Samart is the ultimate example of efficiency and art in fighting. *Dieselnoi, the "Sky Piercing Knee"* was really tough too. In fact, he won against Samart at the same weight in the most anticipated Muay Thai fight of the century. *People didn't want to fight him so he had to retire* when he was 24 and had his belt stripped off him. He remains the king of the Muay Khao style. *Wichannoi "The Eternal Yodmuay" Pontawee* is from the Silver Age of Muay Thai, *he was like the Joe Louis of Muay Thai. Very technical, very precise, strong puncher too.* In my opinion, and like many others think, only Saenchai and Lerdsila, and probably Rodtang, would be able to fight against the fighters of the Golden Age of Muay Thai. Dieselnoi would smoke Saenchai anyday and Samart is like the even better example of a Muay Fimeu, even better than Saenchai. What Saenchai brought to the world of Muay Thai though, is very important. He sent the message of love. Love for fighting, love for the art, respect, and tradition, and a really elite standard for Muay Thai fighters. Him and Liam Harrison are like inspirators for the new generation. But if you want to see real Muay Thai at it's peak, you have to check out Golden Age fights.
Saenchais kicks are like critical hits the enemies don’t even realize it but they’re done already once the blow has been delivered. Saechais status effect is dominance
i just found out about saenchai a few month ago and binged many of his fights. that dude is unbelieveable entertaining and such a great fighter. 1:54 wtf was that
@@MARYandTheCAT just so nobody is confused about your comment in the future, i effed up the minute 😅 i meant the teep that floored the dude out of nowhere
WOW.!!'WOW WOW.!!! What a brilliant upload. I'd heard of Saenchai here in England, but had no idea of his ability & achievements. That was so well done, with brilliantly edited fight scenes. I'm going to have to watch that again right now. Very much appreciated. Bless up bro 👊
This the first time I’ve ever heard of this guy. I mostly watch UFC and boxing and I’ve always wondered if there’d ever be someone who combined an aggressive fighting style and toyed with his opponents but also have amazing technique and be humble. And also be so dominant that no one has ever come close to beating you. This guy checks all these boxes.
That push-kick is incredible. It's also cool that he steps to the outside when catching kicks before doing sweeps. I guess muy Thai is to Thailand what starcraft is / was to Korea, insanely competitive, everyone does it from a young age and the true prodigies stand out but they also have to work their ass off or the others will catch up.
Holy crap! Thank you. Just looked up this fighting style on my lunch break at work. Now, I can not stop watching. These fighters were and are incredible.
The thing I love about Saenchai is how diverse his techniques are. He does moves like that cartwheel kick is like a capoeira technique. He pulls off switch kicks and double kicks you see more in TKD. It’s amazing to watch.
Amazing video as usual ! Thank you for the constant quality of your work Would you consider doing one about K-1 and one about Pride FC ? There are so many great fights and fighters during that era (Fedor, Cro Cop, Le Banner, Mark Hunt, Andy Hug etc etc)
I'm Thai and I have to say Saenchai is the Muaythai legend that proud to introduce Muaythai to the world. and as he said on the news and as many muaythai fighter known that Muaythai is a sport version of Muay BoRan so many techniques were banned and Saenchai is just like many Muaythai lover's that do not want people to forget about the Ancient Muaythai techniques(Muayboran) so he chose this technique called "ม้า ดีด กะ โหลก"(Ma-Deed-Ka-Lok)=(The horse bouncing skulls) from Muay Boran Table to represent Muaythai to the entire world. And most fighter all around the world called the cart wheel kick because it's make sense too right?? lol
I feel like it's his body language that throws me off the most, he always seems so relaxed but then comes out with insane power shots out of nowhere. Honestly believe he's the greatest fighter I've seen in any combat sport.
I remember back in the mid 80’s when my pops first got cable tv. I was into boxing and all that. Pops called me into the living room and said sit down and watch this. I was like wtf, they can kick and throw elbows. My dad said you think your tough? I sat in silence watching and after the fights I turned to him and said NO, I’m not tough like that. That music always playing in the background. I thought I was watching some type of underground non sanctioned fighting. At 12-13 years old I was amazed. Then in my mid 20’s the Gracie’s came around and yet another martial art that astounded me. The good ‘old days.
Oh my God, I remember when the Gracie's were dominating 2-3 of us w'd pitch in and get a room to watch and also the Tyson fights. I was a hood nerd and didn't have cable 😏 but an appreciation for technical organized fighting & all what was happening there! 80's were an awesome time!
Man I really love your content sound effects from video games like Mario and solid snake, the perfect timing sound for Mike, your 80s vibe music, and best of all the "NOBODY does it like Joe Vincent.. NOBODY" and I always knew he of all muay Thai fighters he is the 🐐 especially with his specialty
Hell yeah. I knew this was coming after you did the great piece on Buakaow!! Maybe we get one on Badr Hari? Or Rico Verhoeven??? Or how about Bas Rutten!!! Haha love the combat sports videos you do
When I inevitably die, I want Joe to narrate the entire funeral on my behalf. Even narrating all the trivial things like people taking their seats and having a drink at the bar =)
@@Chron880 buakaw said That's my bro,I won't fight him. But they play together like kids🤣🤣 In turn, SuperBon said the same about Buakaw,the he won't fight his for he's a dear brother
Incredible video! I never heard of this guy and wow. Dude is like the matrix, PSY, and the OngBak movie wrapped in one. Dude was really going OngBak on all those fighters 😆. Thank you Joe!! NOBODY brings it home like Joe Vincent.
I don't know anything about Muay Thai but Jesus Christ this was smooth to watch. The way he can balance and still move around on one leg and then unleash power shots from hell is just something else.
His signature moves called "Ma-Deed-Ga-Lok" (Strummed horse) in ancient Muaythai table or Muaythai Bo-Ran. But not use in new generation Muaythai. Many fighters all around the world called "Cart wheels kick".
Loved the Pan flute version of "Forever Young" playing at 8:00. Waiting for the Yanni version of "Let it Go" now. Your docs are superb. Please keep up with the Muay Thai movies. Did a 1 week tourist camp in Thailand. You have no idea how tough these fighters are until you see the kids train.

Saenchai & Buakaw are simply on another level. Such a pity Saenchai had a broken finger on his left hand when they fought. Even still, amazing battle.

And also be so dominant that no one has ever come close to beating you. This guy checks all these boxes.
I love seeing Muay Thai Legends! Please keep making more Muay Thai videos! You do great work
That push-kick is incredible.
It's also cool that he steps to the outside when catching kicks before doing sweeps.
I guess muy Thai is to Thailand what starcraft is / was to Korea, insanely competitive, everyone does it from a young age and the true prodigies stand out but they also have to work their ass off or the others will catch up.
Holy crap! Thank you. Just looked up this fighting style on my lunch break at work. Now, I can not stop watching. These fighters were and are incredible.
'sonic boom perfect timing' Joe Vincent out here throwing combinations. Loving the Muay Thai series man!
The thing I love about Saenchai is how diverse his techniques are. He does moves like that cartwheel kick is like a capoeira technique. He pulls off switch kicks and double kicks you see more in TKD. It’s amazing to watch.
Would love to see you do a bit on Ramon Dekkers. One of the first foreigners to dominate the Thais.
You can see so many UFC fighters emulate his style. Dude's legendary!
The deep dedication and the dedication of the mind more importantly is such a honor to have watched
These videos are awesome only started watching them this morning and I already can't enough
Amazing video as usual !
Thank you for the constant quality of your work
Would you consider doing one about K-1 and one about Pride FC ?
There are so many great fights and fighters during that era (Fedor, Cro Cop, Le Banner, Mark Hunt, Andy Hug etc etc)
Your videos communicate the beauty in martial arts perfectly.
I'm Thai and I have to say Saenchai is the Muaythai legend that proud to introduce Muaythai to the world. and as he said on the news and as many muaythai fighter known that Muaythai is a sport version of Muay BoRan so many techniques were banned and Saenchai is just like many Muaythai lover's that do not want people to forget about the Ancient Muaythai techniques(Muayboran) so he chose this technique called "ม้า ดีด กะ โหลก"(Ma-Deed-Ka-Lok)=(The horse bouncing skulls) from Muay Boran Table to represent Muaythai to the entire world. And most fighter all around the world called the cart wheel kick because it's make sense too right?? lol
I feel like it's his body language that throws me off the most, he always seems so relaxed but then comes out with insane power shots out of nowhere. Honestly believe he's the greatest fighter I've seen in any combat sport.
I am not a fighter, I do other sport. But this guy is a real legend, I am just fulfilled to understand that he always, Always has FUN..incredible 🏍🚀
I remember back in the mid 80’s when my pops first got cable tv. I was into boxing and all that. Pops called me into the living room and said sit down and watch this. I was like wtf, they can kick and throw elbows. My dad said you think your tough? I sat in silence watching and after the fights I turned to him and said NO, I’m not tough like that. That music always playing in the background. I thought I was watching some type of underground non sanctioned fighting. At 12-13 years old I was amazed. Then in my mid 20’s the Gracie’s came around and yet another martial art that astounded me. The good ‘old days.
Oh my God, I remember when the Gracie's were dominating 2-3 of us w'd pitch in and get a room to watch and also the Tyson fights. I was a hood nerd and didn't have cable 😏 but an appreciation for technical organized fighting & all what was happening there! 80's were an awesome time!
The perfect embodiment of a Muay Femeu.
Khun Saenchai is the indeed the GOAT !!
Joseph Vincent I gotta give up mad props I love your documentaries about the best of the best in all mma and boxing!
Unbelievable. He just knows everything what his opponents are going to do. They are children for him.
This was so amazing both Saenchai and this documentary. 🙏🏼
Saenchai and Buakaw. My favorites!
And lerdsila for me all three are amazing and different from each other
Yeah, I wish I could have seen an official fight between both...
I am just now watching all these about muay Thai. So who was better?
@@DregGayton777 Samart Payakaroon > Saenchai > Buakaw
@@ksemiwhere does rodtang fit into that
This was my favorite video to date that you’ve done!!!
What a legend... he's hardest fight that I've seen was him vs Nong-o and Namsaknoi who are legends themselves.
Watching that fight now, thanks for mentioning it.
Same
3:57 is that leadsila at the right hand side of the old man ?
This guy is the true definition of the greatest of all time never lost a fight
Man I really love your content sound effects from video games like Mario and solid snake, the perfect timing sound for Mike, your 80s vibe music, and best of all the "NOBODY does it like Joe Vincent.. NOBODY" and I always knew he of all muay Thai fighters he is the 🐐 especially with his specialty
Hell yeah. I knew this was coming after you did the great piece on Buakaow!! Maybe we get one on Badr Hari? Or Rico Verhoeven??? Or how about Bas Rutten!!! Haha love the combat sports videos you do
Same
Ramon dekkers
I've watched and been involved in combat sports for well over 30 years now.
He is the best I've ever seen when it comes to skill
Master Warrior Artist! What a Fighter. A real living legend!
Thank you for showcasing muay thai recently, your vids are great!
JV comes through yet again! That kick at 2:45.....that's some serious power.
Best sport documentaries on RUclips hands down
When I inevitably die, I want Joe to narrate the entire funeral on my behalf. Even narrating all the trivial things like people taking their seats and having a drink at the bar =)
I love how the video concludes that Saenchai never lost. What a heck of a fighter, true GOAT.
Saenchai & Buakaw the true legends of the sport
Who would win tho ...
@@iamalegend5620 I've heard stories these two guys won't fight each other is that true?
@@Chron880 we will never know!! Since two are really good friends and sparring partners
@@Chron880 buakaw said That's my bro,I won't fight him. But they play together like kids🤣🤣
In turn, SuperBon said the same about Buakaw,the he won't fight his for he's a dear brother
They’re fighting soon bkfc
The editing on your vids has gotten so much better I remember the vids you posted back in the Marshawn Lynch days
He is a funny guy
He is a entertainer
He is a muaythai monster
Yes he is Sanchai
SIR, YOURE VIDEOS AND EDITING IS AMAZING. NARRATION: 10/10 WELL DONE!!
Incredible video! I never heard of this guy and wow. Dude is like the matrix, PSY, and the OngBak movie wrapped in one. Dude was really going OngBak on all those fighters 😆. Thank you Joe!! NOBODY brings it home like Joe Vincent.
Never getting tired of watching Saenchai fighting Muay Thai
A true legend in all of sports.
Thanks for producing this great documentary.
Saenchai is poetry in motion you're lucky to even hit him before he crushes your soul...
I don't know anything about Muay Thai but Jesus Christ this was smooth to watch. The way he can balance and still move around on one leg and then unleash power shots from hell is just something else.
His signature moves called "Ma-Deed-Ga-Lok" (Strummed horse) in ancient Muaythai table or Muaythai Bo-Ran. But not use in new generation Muaythai. Many fighters all around the world called "Cart wheels kick".
Loved the Pan flute version of "Forever Young" playing at 8:00. Waiting for the Yanni version of "Let it Go" now. Your docs are superb. Please keep up with the Muay Thai movies. Did a 1 week tourist camp in Thailand. You have no idea how tough these fighters are until you see the kids train.
Do yoy have the youtube link for it?
@@mitefum6310 Wish it was a real song.
