The legendary Muay Thai king Nai fo, the grandmaster of Muay Thai and revered by Chinese boxing fans as the "Comet of Southern Thailand", passed away yesterday. This can be described as "the fall of a superstar, the fall of sorrow from the sky", and for a time I could not help but feel very emotional.
Nefo was once known as "the most skilled Muay Thai boxer of the 1970s", although many people do not know his experience because of his early age, but any Muay Thai enthusiast must have heard of his name.
Nefo had defeated all the elite boxers of the time and set Box Office records for Muay Thai several times, making him the hottest star of his time.
It can even be said that throughout the history of Muay Thai, there are only a few legendary boxers who can match the achievements of the Buddha.
At his peak, Naifo was alone in the Muay Thai world, so he also crossed over professional boxing competitions, and achieved a professional record of 8 total victories, and through a KO, won the Thai national title, which can be said to be a double fist and leg.
In 1977, Naifo, who had not tasted defeat for a long time, finally had enough of the loneliness of being cold in the heights. He chose to voluntarily give up the golden belt and retreated in a hurry, taking his own mythology and concentrating on the promotion and teaching of Muay Thai.
Subsequently, the professional Muay Thai in the 80s entered a period of vigorous development of hundreds of schools of thought. Among them, the credit of the Buddha is naturally indelible.
In addition, when it comes to the martial arts world in the 1970s, there is another name that must be mentioned - Chinese martial artist and movie superstar Bruce Lee.
With the great success of Hollywood movies, Bruce Lee became one of the most famous fighters in history. However, Naifo was one of the few martial artists at that time who could be equally famous through real competitions, which showed the great influence of his influence in the arena.
Therefore, it was also rumored that Bruce Lee once killed Naifo's stall literature in a private fight. Although we all laughed at such news, the fabricators used Naifo to set off Bruce Lee's strength, and they can also understand the status of Naifo in the field of martial arts at that time.
In the impression of the editor, Naifo has always been old and strong. A few years ago, at the age of 60, he also had a battle with Saga Pengtaowei, the archetype of the one-eyed dragon Muay Thai king in "Street Fighter".
Today's sudden death is truly staggering.
It is reported that Nefo was taken to the hospital for surgery last week due to heart problems. But just when Muay Thai fans sincerely hoped that the old boxing king would be cured as soon as possible, the news of his death came yesterday.
Because he is 68 years old and has always been somewhat obese. Therefore, the cause of death may be surgical failure or postoperative complications. In any case, a generation of superstars fell, leaving a sad and sad world. We can only wish the old boxer a good journey and continue to perform in heaven.
RIP！！
