The heavy-handed fighter, looking for the knockout because the points will not come.
The long version
A puncher in muay thai is working against the arithmetic: punches score least, so he has to end it. Which makes muay mat the most exciting style to watch and the least reliable way to build a record.
Foreign fighters arrive as muay mat almost without exception, because that is what they were before.
