Buakaw Por. Pramuk (Thai บัวขาว ป. ประมุข, born May 8, 1982) is a professional Welterweight Thaiboxer, a former Super welterweight WMC Muay Thai World champion and two time K-1 MAX World champion.

Biography & Career

Born as Sombat Banchamek in Surin, Thailand, Buakaw started his fighting career at the young age of 8 in his home province of Surin in the northeastern Thailand, before moving to Por. Pramuk gym at the age of 15. His first fight name was Damtamin Kiat-anan.

Buakaw has collected several belts to his name since fighting in Bangkok. The Omnoi Stadium featherweight title was his first belt, after that he would go on to take the featherweight champion of Thailand title. Buakaw then proceeded to win another Omnoi Stadium title belt, this time at in lightweight division. In December 2002, Buakaw won the Toyota Marathon 140 lb. tournament at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, beating the highly regarded Kobayashi of Japan in the final.

In July 2004 Buakaw became the K-1 MAX World champion beating John Wayne Parr, Takayuki Kohiruimaki and previous champion Masato in the finals. In 2005 he nearly repeated his run for tournament champion, but lost the extra round decision to Dutch shoot-boxer, Andy Souwer in the finals. In the 2006 K-1 MAX World Grand Prix, Buakaw again faced Andy Souwer in the finals, but this time defeated Souwer by KO with a flurry of punches, thereby winning his second K-1 World MAX title and becoming the first man to win that title twice.

Buakaw lost to Masato by unanimous decision at the K-1 World MAX 2007 quarterfinals. Despite Buakaw being able to land vicious leg kicks throughout the match, Masato scored a knockdown on the first round and continued to land numerous punch combinations throughout the fight which earned Masato an unanimous decision victory.

Having made it to the K-1 World MAX 2008 Final 8, Buakaw was matched up against Yoshihiro Sato. This is the first time on record that Buakaw has been knocked out, let alone stopped, in a fight but lots of people argue this and believe Buakaw must have faced some KO losses early in his career.

-Having made it to the [[K-1 World MAX 2008 Final 8]], Buakaw was matched up against Yoshihiro Sato. In the 3rd round, Sato landed a brutal knee to the liver which hurt Buakaw. Buakaw, trying to not show he was hurt, kept from doubling over but completely left his guard down. Sato seized the opportunity and threw hard shots finally connecting with a devastating right to the side of Buakaw's head. Buakaw lay motionless face-down on the canvas for the full 10-count. This is the first time on record that Buakaw has been knocked out, let alone stopped, in a fight but lots of people argue this and believe Buakaw must have faced some KO losses early in his career.
