Galaxy was a hard hitting southpaw, with unbending determination who often came off the canvas to knockout his opponents. He made 19 defenses of his title, of which only three managed to last the distance. Galaxy is a national hero in his native Thailand often made six-figure purses that were unmatched until recently. However, he did not fight the top fighters of his day -- his best wins were over shot fighters Willie "Birdlegs" Jensen and later, Rafael Orono. Khaosai's twin brother, Khaokor, went on to win the WBA Bantamweight Title, making the two the first twin brothers to ever win "World Titles" (Chana Porpoain and Songkram Porpoain recently became the second to do it.)
