yes, technic is a process like driving a car...if you learn driving a car as a car driver , then it is very difficult to drive a truck...that!s why buakow cannot be so successful in k-1 series...he is pure muay thai fighter , trained for long years with traditional ring mt methodology, the technics drilled in his brain like a computer...and now he is trying to be successful in a different game k-1 max which is kickboxing (something between modified mt and kb) ...hence, i believe that he has hard times and also will since he had grown with full, traditional mt methodolgy...it is not so easy that adapt ...
k-1 is a concept created on the basis of "japanese and dutch kickboxing" and that's why the dutch mostly won the fights ...reason ,very easy, they have been training with a specific own methodology for many years ,got big experience and just fight in a discipline with rules which suits best to their understanding...
i believe that buakow will need still more time for adapting in this concern and he cannot also not successful since he had trained for very very long times with another menthality...his last unsuccessful fight against a pure boxers who don't use his legs can be also agood proof in this concern (he could win the fight , however couldn't ko him...and that is a shame from the perspective of " mt or kb vs quinsbury boxing" ...)

briefly, to convert a pure,original,traditional mt fighter into a kickboxer is not so easy...
