Wangchannoi, a former 5x Lumpinee stadium champion and won the Fighter of the Year Award in 1993.

Muay Matt is a style that relies heavily on their boxing. These fighters are often forward moving fighters looking for the knockout via punches.

He holds a notable win over Namkabuan where he knocked him out in 33 seconds, earning him the nickname “Mr. 33 Seconds”.

Wangchannoi was known to be a deadly step counter fighter. He would step forward into all of his strikes maximizing his power. His style involved letting his opponents show him their weapons, then he would counter with deadly force and precision. The Thai’s aren’t known for their good boxing, but as you can see Wangchannoi possessed great skill with his punches.

It is important to take advantage of all 8 limbs. Your boxing can be an accessory to all of your other Muay Thai weapons, making you a force to be reckoned with! Punches can be used to set up all other strikes such as kicks, knees, and elbows.
