There are a lot rumours flying around at the moment of Buakaw Por.Pramuk potentially having a exhibition bout with boxing star Manny Pacquiao. I’m not buying in to it one bit but I have stumbled upon some news which I found more interesting and believable.
This source is taken from muaythai2000.com so I have to thank them for bringing it to light.
Somrak confident of the win, poss big name up next
Somrak Khamsing has declared himself in great shape for the October the 4th Superfight in Rajadamnern stadium with Yodwanpadet Suwanwichit and confident of the win.He has also been looking to fight again, calling out Thai superstar Buakaw Por Pramuk. Somrak wants to fight Buakaw on the Lumpinee birthday show on the 8th of December, but the promotions team are unsure on the possibility of securing Buakaw for the fight. Instead they have contacted another Thai star named Khem Sitsongpeenong, who’s team have agreed to the fight.
Standing between that fight happening though is Yodwanpadet, who although 51 years of age already, has prepared hard for the bout with Somrak and with 5,270,000 million baht on the line is unlikely to lie down easily.
Just found this piece of info which is pretty interesting, courtesy of Dave Suk Jai Fox 🙂
if they can agree on a fight (Jomhod is heavier) then it will be vs Jomhod and then vs Buakaw and then hopefully vs Khem, as Somrak has already said he sees Khem as the stronger of all of them… good times ahead!
Surely he's kidding him self on, if he thinks he can beat Buakaw and kem? The boy he just defeated had nothing left in the tank as a fighter
Buakaw's reputation amongst the other boxers over there isn't great as he isn't fighting top Thai opponents. Which i'm guessing is why he think he needs more prep for Kem as he is still competing against Thais.
It's a high mountain to climb but any great fighter can have his day again……I think my money would be on Buakaw though
Der i didnt realise the first fight had happened and the loser wasnt up for the job but Khamsing would be publicly embarrassed if he tried to compete against an on form Pramuk imo.
บัวขาว จัดให้มันหน่อย จะได้โม้ไม่ออก.
Just found this bit of info in regards to Buakaw vs Pacquiao and Somrak. It kind of highlights why Buakaw doesn't have a great rep amonst the other fighters in Thailand.

Think its jelosy ?
Mubz Kstar Bajwa It's probably a little jealousy mixed in with the fact that many of them are having harder fights for less money and fame.
Why jealousy ? i do not believe ! ……… My turn to ask a question : why he doesn't want fight me even for much money and why he only want fight foreigner boxers ? good question, no ?
P'Somrak I think his management do not want him to lose to a Thai fighter because it could harm his reputation around the world along with what money they can ask for him.
Can I ask why would you like to fight Buakaw?
I don't think Buakaw will lose to Somrak.
From the man himself.
Somrak Sor Kamsing: I will tell you something : I went to Qatar this year with Baukaw. We have seen Saudi Arabi people to talk about contract. These promotors were ready to give a lot of money to Buakaw to fight with me. His answer was : "no!". And today he is still not ready to fight with me……..even now two big promotors in Thailand want give him much money to make this fight happen! He still say : " no! "

No matter what they say about him, Buakaw has been around for a few years and still one of the best fighters in the world.
Maybe he is not physical ready !
I think it's more a case of them not wanting him to potentially lose to another Thai fighter.
Why fight Buakaw ? Well i do believe that i could win !
Someone said that i am too old ? Funny ! i just 39 years old ……..
If you believe you can win then it doesn’t matter what any body else thinks 🙂
So are you fighting Jomhod next?
i think somrak is to old to beat buakaw, think yod vs buakaw would be a better fight
Can i ask Somrak a question!
Why did the van damme fight never happen because i would have loved to see his face when he had been leg kicked properly.
Lol
Well done on your recent Victory btw.
just a question : the last muay thai fight i lost …. i was … old ?
I am not sure P’Somrak how old was you?
And can you remember how many fights you have had in Muay Thai?
I am 39 years old and 350 muay thai fights behind me
@ Damien Trainor I think he have to saved himself for thai fight event man.
