Buakaw looks like a Tekken character, and Jean Charles looks like the guy who would pick that character.

"They just touch gloves again for some reason" Dude...do you even martial art ??

Just for detail : Jean Charles accepted the fight at the last moment without preparation and training 💀

In a recent interview, when asked about this fight Skarbowsky said he had 2 problems...."first he's better than me, second I didn't train for that fight and was drinking because I was supposed to fight an unknown Chinese guy and I only realized I was gonna fight buakaw when I saw him in the airplane on our way to Hong Kong....so I knew if I pressured I'd gas out in 2 rounds, so I just paced myself and did my best to not get humiliated".

I trained at his gym in Paris, Jean Charles is a really laid back and humble guy. No ego whatsoever.

Just to precise: Jean Charles Skarbowsky had accept this fight without the right preparation. But he finish the fight, versus Buakaw Por Pramuk, an another living legend of muay thai

Worst commentators I have ever seen. Shockingly ignorant, and disgustingly biased.

Who's here because og GSP? I'm also wondering if Skarbowsky is drunk here

im genuinely impressed by the fact that the commentator never took a second to stop talking

I have never seen Buakaw show another fighter this kind of respect, and almost fear lol.. its super crazy to see.. you will rarely if ever see Buakaw give up the center of the ring, and not be the aggressor.. it was very obvious he respected what Jean Charles could do, a great fight to watch. and for those who don't know.. the reason they "touched gloves again for some reason" was a sign of mutual respect.. jean charles caught him with a good liver kick, and buakaw clipped him with a good headkick, neither of them really phased tho.. so they both said "good shit man" and carried on.

During this fight, JCS was not prepared, he was injured and he fought the 5 rounds against Buakaw in top form. At that time no boxer could hold a entire fight against BK he was invincible. So huge respect for Skarbowsky

"a flying right arm" 😂😂 These commentators are killing me. That aside, these men put on a hell of a fight.

Us Thai denominated Jean Charles Skarbowsky "Perfume of death" (Num Hom Morana) because we call France as perfume land due to very long history of perfume imports. He maybe the second Nak Muay Farang whom us Thai actually admit and respect after Ramon Dekkers, all others are bogus to us. You can see how Buakaw was cautious and being careful in this fight in contrast to when he was fighting other farangs. He knew well he might lose if reckless. This match is one "chess" of Muay Thai. Too bad he drinks nowadays.

Just a word of advice for anyone paying lots of money for Baukaw to fight on their show. Make sure your commentator knows something about Muay Thai ffs. The fool kept on calling any kick a leg kick wtf what’s next a hand punch? Completely amazed that they would spend all that money and only have one commentator who knew Thai boxing.

Au premier abord, pour celui qui n'y connaîtrait strictement rien, en voyant ce combat et Skarbowsky pour la première fois, il pourrait peut-être penser que ce boxeur a peu d'expérience: très raide, très statique, pas très agressif... en fait, il s'économise pour rester précis dans ses attaques/contre-attaques et assez concentrer pour pouvoir parer et esquiver les coups de son opposant. Et quel opposant! L'Assassin du Lumpinee! Combien auraient tenu face à Buakaw? Skarbowsky n'a pas un style très impressionnant de prime abord mais, à y regarder de plus près, il est juste redoutable à tous les niveaux: précision, technicité, intelligence, mental... et puis ces esquives! Ce gars est un Thaï dans un corps d'Européen. Au passage... un des deux commentateurs a l'air un peu à l'ouest.

Frenchmen is a hell of a boxer he really is, great fight, perfect display of showing what an amazing legit rare prodigy Bukaw was/is....and likewise shows just how legit and strong and skilled in his own right and just hard Skarbowsky is, prime example of a fighter who is a elite level fighter when if you looked at him you wouldn't get that vibe at all. awesome fight by both.

it is rare that Buakaw leaves the center of the ring to his opponent. A lot of work with the farang, for Buakaw it must make him happy to have an opponent of this level. Too bad that Skarbowsky was no longer young and in better physical condition. He set his pace and Buakaw understood. They did their jobs and the important thing is payroll. Yes, it's their jobs.

Quel combat ! Jean-Charles impressionnant de décontraction ! Très belle performance 👍🏼

British commentators seem to have something against the Frenchman. « Skarbowski looks dejected and exhausted, that tells the whole story » Meanwhile Jean Charles is smiling happily.

I like Skarbovsky's fighting style more, even though he lost. These fighters have an equal class

Amazing fight, skarbowsky definetly had a real chance. Amazing performance from all but the commentators

20:44 Skarbowski takes buakaw's knee in the ribs like its nothing! The kind of hit that would make u fall straight, in pain ,with 2 broken ribs !! Tough french guy.

Is Jean Charles Gsps drunk Muay Thai trainer that wrecked everyone on Tuf??? Holy shit it is! LEGEND

"There's the leg kick"...dude he hit him in the head,it's a head kick,a leg kick is a kick to the leg

Bravo à notre français, il était pas loin de la victoire, grand technicien en boxe thai, il fait face et ne recule jamais pendant le combat.

Just when I thought Jean Charles Starbowsky couldn’t get any cooler his entrance music is Pantera 🔥👍🏽

In a pretty recent interview Jean Charles Skarbowsky admitted that he didn't know tha he was gonna fight Buakaw until the airplane to hong kong, he hasn't trained for 3month and was clearly out shap. Having this kind of fight in thoses condition is incredible but JC admitted also that buakaw was the better men tonight

Skarbowski qui sourrit et applaudit a la fin du combat : masterclass ❤

I’m impressed by how technical this Jean Charles is. He’s an intellectual fighter, not some giga athlete. Buakaw knew he had to be careful not to get caught by something.

Jean Charles que tu gagne ou perde n ' a que peu d'importance , ta boxe est belle et tu n'est pas là par hasard , pour moi tu es un héros et c'est pas d'hier. Bravo à ton adversaire.

Why has the English guy been asked to commentate on a muay thai fight, when he clearly hasn't even seem a fight before???!!!

respect to the French gentleman from USA, fought very well

Skarbowsky's jab is really unique... very good for keeping distance and almost zero telegraph on it. I think it's largely because he has his arm up and oriented left so he really just needs to extend and put his body behind it. Really impressed.

Absolutely love the slow-mo exchange at 17:04. Skarbowsky reads Buakaw's mid-kick, shifts his center of gravity slightly, pushes the kick to the side and comes back with an insanely fast, painful looking mid kick that I'm pretty sure catches Buakaw just behind the bicep. Buakaw immediately comes back with one of the most ridiculous kicks I've ever seen. From what I can tell (I'm watching the slow-mo replay at 0.25 speed and I'm STILL struggling to see the kick properly) Buakaw telegraphs another mid-kick that Skarbowsky nonchalantly goes to block, before changing the arc of his kick HALFWAY INTO THE KICK HE JUST LAUNCHED, shooting his leg up around Skarbowsky's block to land cleanly on his dome. What makes the kick even more insane is the fact that the second half of his kick is EVEN FASTER than the first half. The camera literally can't catch the majority of the second half of the kick because its faster than the camera's framerate.

The commentators for this fight are garbage, so biased.

Super combat de jean charles et en face un tout jeune Buakaw qui est juste un tueur. Le mec est solide il recule jamais.

France dude is no joke... no wonder he smash all the UFC fightrs in ultimate fighter reality show!

Super fight. La classe Mr Skarbowsky.

19:49 That was a really nice ‘leg kick’!

The points in the end didn't really reflect on the commentary. It almost seemed like a one sided fight. Both men were playing a game of chess, truly an honor to watch them perform. I've rarely seen Bukaw this humble, especially against a western fighter. Mute the commentary put some nice Thai fight music on and watch the fight.

I was slapping my hips and shouting during watching this fight, I really appreciated it! Of course, Buakaw is great, but Jean Skarbowsky showed very good balance, technique, pressure, intelligence and phenomenal calm) Especially intersting that Jean doesn't look like iron man))

Can you speak English and see ? you are hired ,the fight starts at 8 lol .

A natural Thai fighter carries himself differently, you can see it in his blood, the form, the rhythm and stance, he's confident but humble, he doesn't brag or run his mouth , he respects the fight, ring and the trade by keeping his composure during the fight.

At the end of the fight, skarbowsky smile and applause. Respect

Skarbowsky entrance with Pantera « Walk » 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Everyone can be happy that Skarbowsky never trains or prepares for fights.

His entrance music is Pantera, this guy is my hero now.

People saying Jean Charles Skarbowsky was drunk or used to drink a lot before a fight are talking absolute crap !

skarbowsky is soo minimalistic and conservative with his energy. he just kind of walks around as if he's waiting for a hamburger.

I saw him doing work on the experienced MMA talent on an older Ultimate Fighter season with GSP. So just had to see if he went up against big competition in true Muay Thai, lo and behold Jean-Charles Skarbowsky went up against one of the best to ever do it. Wow! I mean Buakaw clearly looks more beautiful in technique (of course like all Thai's who've been born and bred to do it since they were kids - almost making all Thai practitioners child-prodigies) and outclassed him, but Jean showed he is a true master of the rhythm, technique, and nature of the game. His composure, poker face, and solid, solid base and doesn't back down with proper closing off of angles or opportunities (nearly impossible to do correctly for foreigners against a real thai, especially at this high a level of competition). Jean may not have been born in Thailand and grown in a stable like his opposition but he definitely lived over there for over a decade or 2 with some serious talent to hang in there like a legit Thai fighter.

jean-charles do a lot of nice stuff that the commentateurs dont even see.

That fella chatting loads hadn't a clue what he was talking about. Appreciate some English commentary for a change but jesus. That was rough.

Jean Charles Skarbowsky have a razor blade precision in his technique, the conmentarist don´t figure it out the level of these fight

Jean charles a jamais tu es une légende pour les combattant français

Man this british guy calling the fight needs to be thrown in the gulag lmaaaooo who pays this guy

นักมวยฝรั่งเศสตัวนี้ที่ฝีมือ จัดจ้าน ได้ขนาดนี้ เพราะเขา ซ้อมอยู่ค่ายจ๊อกกี้ยิม แก่นนรสิงห์ก็ใช่ ค่ายเดียวกัน ของสมมาตรหงสกุล ในซอยสีน้ำเงิน สมัยเขาหนุ่มๆ นักมวยไทยหลายคนหลับกลางอากาศมาไม่รู้กี่ตัวแล้ว นักมวยฝรั่งเศสตัวนี้ คนไทยยอมรับ ถ้าสมัยเขายังหนุ่มอยู่ บัวขาวน่าจะเจองานช้าง ฝรั่งเศสตัวนี้หนักจริง เตะซ้าย แล้วก็หมัดหนัก

Skarbowsky being one of the best foreign technicians against a unleashed buakaw is awesome

Skarbowsky démontre qu'il est un grand face a l'un des meilleurs boxeurs de la discipline. Bien en dessous de ses performances, le français a tenu fièrement le combat. Mieux préparé je ne suis pas sûr que le score aurait été différent mais nous aurions eu un meilleur spectacle. Deux légendes

both fighters(legends) at their peak,damn i dont think i slo moed any other fight as much as i did this piece... Amazing techniques,i have to watch it from time to time again x

Pantera! I love this guy! Thank you GSP!

During the following year Skarbowsky became n°1 of the Rajadamnern Stadium for the second time and retired. I'm impressed by his ftl reflexes even after some serious hits to the head, he can take a high kick like it's nothing.

Franchement,ça me fais mal pour JC.S il avait su qu il devait combattre Buakaw le combat aurait été différent.Sa préparation surtout.Ce soir là,Buakaw est plus en forme et meilleur.Content d être tombé sur ce combat.💪🏻👊🏻🙏

Great fight - incredible skill displayed by both fighters. Poor announcing though. One announcer is painfully clueless and the other knowledgeable, but they both did their best to make the fight seem much more one sided than it actually was. The right man, Buakaw, won, but please give Skarbowsky the credit he deserves - he fought an amazing fight, but lost to a legendary fighter in Buakaw. Get some announcers who both know what they are talking about and who don't actively trie to take the wind out of the fight for the viewers. Would be nice.

Jean Charles wasnt trained at all, great job to face buakaw without being trained

Bien joué J.C j'aime beaucoup Buakaw mais là obligé j'étais pour ma patrie, t'a été solide !!! La preuve il se méfiait de toi, je l'ai jamais vu autant analyser un autre combattant !

Always wanted a pair of those yellow M-150 thai shorts, things are sweet!

Thank you very much for this fight.

I’m watching a fight and hearing a different one lol these commentators are pathetic .

If Jean wasn't drunk 24/7, he would've been unbeatable.

Quelle aisance dans leurs boxe. C tout simplement magnifique. Très très très beau combat. De vrai thai boxeur 😍

There's some severely biased commentary here.

It's a great fight with respect between fighter and a high level of muay thaï

That drunken Frenchman sure can fight

You're the best Thai legend Muay Thai Contulations to Buakaw Banchamek Love love U

JC Skarbowsky qui rentre sur du PANTERA c'est juste magnifique .

I love how the announcers just ignore the amount of teeps Jean Charles landed on buakaw the entire fight lol

I have seen a lot of thai fighters like fairtex, lamsaknoi, senchai, changpuek, sittichai, and others but nobody can match buakaw He is the best

The reason why it has been said to the "public" that Skarbowsky training was concealed, is because he actually did not trained at all for 6 weeks before this combat, due to an injury. Putting this in perspective, it's not crazy to claim is could have been superior to his opponent with a decent training....

Absolument Jean Charles Skarbowsky est ABSOLUMENT INCROYABLE DE COURAGE DE PROFESSIONNALISME ET DE DÉTERMINATION ! Il ne faut vraiment pas ce fier aux physiques des combattants... Un garçon qui représente clairement bien notre Nation la France 😊❤

26:26 British announcer: "Buakaw is more buff, so he's winning." lmfao smh

skarbowsky se bat comme un vrai NAK MUAY respect !!

Muay Thai fighters kicks are just beautiful. Especially the high kicks to the head.

แต่สำหรับนักมวยฝรั่งเศสตัวนี้ คนไทยยอมรับ คนไทยตั้งฉายาให้ น้ำหอมมรณะ ของประเทศฝรั่งเศส ขึ้นชื่อว่าเป็นเมืองน้ำหอม ก็เลยตั้งฉายาให้น้ำหอมมรณะ ยังรามอนเดกเกอร์ ก็มาจากฮอลแลนด์ แต่เขาล่วงลับไปแล้ว คนไทยในตั้งฉายาให้ ไอ้กังหันมรณะ มีแค่ 2 คนจริงๆที่คนไทยยอมรับ ฝรั่งเศส 1 คน ฮอลแลนด์ 1 คน นอกนั้นของปลอมทำเหมือน

"Punch to the right head!"

"Borakai with the leg kick"

As a muy thay fighter , i swear you cannot imagine the durability of these guys, in every exchange, even the one who look easy to take in a video , is a 7/10 Pain to deal with. INSANE

Jean Charles Skarbowsky e um lutador muito bom também ,basta ver outras lutas dele ,são incriveis!!!

Buakaw: lands a head kick Commentator: "high leg kick coming in again"

Mais quel combat, quelle endurance, quel respect.... anthologique

Isn't that GSP trainer?

one of the scorecards is 50-47. that means there were a couple 10-10 rounds, most likely the first two rounds.

Iam is King of Muay Thai

Man, Skarbowsky looks like an everyday dude but is tough as fuck! Taking so many knockout shots from Buakaw but still standing unfazed!

Quel boxeur ce Skarbowsky !!!

11:19 Buakaw : *taunts* Skarbowsky : 👁👄👁

I love Thai boxing but I inlove with the way how Buokaw fight every single match ,he just processed the incradible skills best of his nature , so talented !!

A good fight. Nice commentary but a bit dated, makes Muay Thai seem a bit of a novelty for us Westerners. But good to hear how we used to view. Good performance from Buakaw and not too shabby from Skarbowsky. Nice vid!!

Magnifique Jean-Charles et le grand Buakaw qui fait son entrée sur du Beastie Boys...

Skarbowsky eats a full power Buakaw kick to the dome and looks fine? The legend lives on

Jean Charles The true drunken master
