Buakaw Protégé Daniel Rodriguez Wins Two Rajadamnern Titles
Spanish fighter Daniel Rodriguez, protégé of Buakaw Banchamek, captured two Rajadamnern Stadium titles at 154 and 160 pounds with three knockout wins this year and may return for the Dec. 2
Buakaw Banchamek entrusts his star pupil Daniel Rodriguez with the mission of taking Muay Thai to the world stage. The Spanish fighter has enjoyed a golden year, scoring three knockout victories to claim Rajadamnern Stadium championships in two weight divisions at 154 and 160 pounds, establishing himself as one of the most exciting foreign fighters on the legendary Thai stage.
Daniel's three fights this year began with a knockout of Hercules Phetsimean, earning a 1,000,000 baht bonus from RWS. He maintained his momentum by knocking out Angel Bauza for another massive 1,550,000 baht bonus, and most recently closed the deal by defeating Phetmorangkad Bangmadklongtan.
These victories gave Daniel two Rajadamnern championship belts in the 154 and 160-pound divisions, cementing his status as one of the most watched foreign fighters on the historic Muay Thai stage.
However, it appears fight fans may see Daniel return to the ring once more before year-end, with rumors he could feature on the R81 card celebrating Rajadamnern's 81st anniversary this Saturday, December 26.
If Daniel does fight, the key question is who would be a suitable opponent for the two-division champion, and who could stop his red-hot form. Who do fight fans want to see Daniel Rodriguez face before the year ends?
