Some great pointers, i beleive alot of Thai Camps are starting to see the error in there ways. Fairtex camp for one have adopted some more westernised and scientific approaches to training fighters, a good example is the ring veteran Kaew Fairtex who trained old school for a very long time but is much stronger now due to his scientific training methods. I think a mixture of old school and new school methods are best. When training for my last fights i introduced alot of sprintwork and canned all the long distance running in the bin, what a difference it made to my fitness when fighting it was much more fight orientated. As long as Buakows 20 minutes are completed in bursts of fast inetrval activity and also a medium workrate i can see him getting the best of both worlds. Although a point to note is that when i watched him being beat in the k-1 max of late i wouldnt say it was because of superior boxing skill but he looked physically tired and his kicks did not have there usual stopping sting to them, when he first came on the K-1 scene he was a ball of lightening and had an abundance of energy, remember the destruction of the dominant masato, K-1 woke up to the sweet sound of hardcore Muay Thai, now they have did everything in there power to be really strict on the Knees etc and in doing so putting Buakow at a disadvantage, let them clinch you spoilsports i used to love buakow flinging them bout the ring like rag dolls, haha
