Manus challenges Buakaw - Muay Thai

Manus, won gold at the 2004 and silver at the 2008 Olympics Games, said he liked Muay Thai after a recent exhibition match in his home province of Ratchaburi.He  is now a changed man and has been training hard for a successful career in the country's traditional martial art.

Bangkokpost reports:

He ridiculed a reported match-up between Muay Thai superstar Buakaw Banchamek  and Filipino Manny Pacquiao, one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in international boxing.

"Who will pay about 90 million baht to bring Pacquiao to fight here?" Manus asked.

He said it would be risky for Buakaw to face a fighter who is good at punching because he could be fragile to the weapon.

"Everybody knows this fight cannot be happen because Buakaw has a fight on December and it is illegal to fight within 15 days"

"Everybody in Thailand's boxing circle knows that Buakaw cannot be punched," Manus said.

"I don't know who raised the idea of pitting him against Pacquiao."
" The possible dream fight should be Buakaw vs Somluck .But look like Buakaw was afraid of Somluck in both international boxing and Muay Thai rules "

He then challenged Buakaw to fight him instead.

"If there is anyone who is interested in promoting a fight between Buakaw and me although my body is not in good condition as Buakaw, I am ready to give him a few boxing lessons," he said.

I prefer Buakaw than Manus and I think he just want to be  famous again by fight with Buakaw.
