Muay bouk
What it means
The pressure fighter: constant forward movement, high volume, no interest in a measured exchange. Exciting to watch and hard to sustain past the middle rounds.
It wins fights against people who need space and loses to a technician who is comfortable moving backwards.
It is also the style a lot of first-time fighters default to, because pressure is what adrenaline produces when technique has not yet stuck.
