Dieselnoi vs. Shogo Shimazu

Dieselnoi is one of the most famous and dominating Thai fighter in the 1970s or any era for that matter. He is remarkably tall for a Thai and because of this he excelled at clinching and knees. Infact his clinching and knee techniques were said to revolutionise Muay Thai. Here he is up against a Japanese kickboxer, Shogo Shimazu. I don't know much about Shogo but I am curious that he is wearing the long pants more commonly seen in the American kickboxing rules yet he performs the Wai Kru at the beginning. Wai Kru is the traditional Muay Thai ritual dance. Anyway Dieselnoi shows his trademark devastating knees in this match. Enjoy!
