Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-05-02, close and tough fight between Buakaw Banchamek and Yan Bin: it gets three stars.The two time K-1 World MAX champion Buakaw Banchamek, formerly known as Buakaw Por Pramuk, entered this fight with a professional kickboxing record of 256-41-12 (65 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.5 super welterweight in the world while unfortunately we don’t know the record of his Chinese opponent, Yan Bin (or Yuan Bing). Buakaw fought nine times in 2014 winning the Wbc muay thai diamond world title in August, defeating Abdoul Toure (=Buakaw vs Toure 2), but then he lost the final of the K-1 World MAX 2014 against Enriko Kehl (controversial ending, Buakaw vs Kehl 2). After this bout he came back to win beating Steve Moxon (=Buakaw vs Moxon) and Dmytro Konstantynov (=Buakaw vs Konstantynov). Buakaw vs Yan Bin is valid for the WMC World super welterweight title (Buakaw’s sixth defense) – Quanwei WMC 2015. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Quite even fight. The Chinese is very good and connected several nice frontal kicks. He was a very tough opponent for Buakaw who barely won.
Yan Bin is surprisingly good!
