Poot Lorlek (Thai: พุฒ ล้อเหล็ก; born Taweesak Pipatkul; January 1, 1952 – June 1, 2020) was a Thai Muay Thai kickboxer and professional boxer who competed in the 1970s. He is recognized as one of the greatest Muay Thai kickboxers of all time.[2]

Career[edit]

Lorlek born in Palian District, Trang Province in southern Thailand. He first practiced Muay Thai at the age of 15 from a Muay Thai gym in his native province. He became very famous in the 1970s, especially in the mid-1970s, having fought with many top-line Muay Thai kickboxers, such as Saensak Muangsurin, Kongdej Lukbangplasroi, Vicharnnoi Porntawee, Pudpadnoi Worawut, Sagat Petchyindee, Satanfah Sor.Prateep, Sirimongkol Luksiripat, etc.

In a span of about 10 years, he had about 80 fights, without ever being knocked down or knocked out. He was knocked down by Sirimongkol Luksiripat once in 1973, but the referee didn't count. He won the fight on points.[2][3][1]

For professional boxing, he was Thailand's lightweight champion in 1975 and was ranked in junior welterweight of the World Boxing Association (WBA).[4]

Retirement and death[edit]

After retirement, he returned to open a Muay Thai gym in Trang Province under the name "Muay Thai Gym Poot Lorlek" in 2011.[5] Poot Lorlek died on June 1, 2020, at around 09.00 p.m. of heart failure, after heart surgery at Songklanagarind Hospital, Hat Yai. He was 68 years old.[6][3]
