Thailand’s Buakaw Por Pramuk will be fighting in 2010 K-1 Max tournament, says his manager who is “disappointed” with the judges who let Buakaw lost to Dutch fighter Andy Souwer in the 2009 tournament’s semifinal. Buakaw lost by decision after a special round the K-1 tournament’s semifinal held in Yokohama, Japan, on October 26. Souwer proceeded to the final on the same day but was defeated by Italy’s Giorgio Petrosyan. Upon returning to Thailand, Buakaw’s manager Pramuk Rojanatan said he is disappointed with the K-1 judges because he believes Buakaw was actually winning the fight, especially in the first three rounds. “Even in the special round, Buakaw was able [to fight]. So, I don’t understand why we lost. Earlier, there was a warning that the Japanese organizer did not want Buakaw to become the first three-time K-1 winner because then he would become a greater fight than Japanese superstar Masato. I didn’t believe this report at first, but now I can’t help not to think about it,” said Pramuk. Buakaw also thinks he was performing well in the match and should have been the winner. “I tried my best, fighting cautiously and landing clear hits. Souwer ended up with bloodied face after the third round, but yet I did not win. In the special round, I did my best again and was so confident, but I lost the fight. I didn’t know what to do anymore,” said the fighter.
According to his manager, Buakaw will continue to fight in K-1 events, with the next match scheduled in Japan in February. He will also fight in the 2010 K-1 Max tournament with an aim to become the first three-time K-1 winner.
