His boxing is fine and precise, it is well known for placing his shots rather than being a puncher. It can be considered as one of the best French stylists, an example in terms of technics. He is particularly fond of boxing with elbows.

He is the most talented Muaythai fighter the country has produced since the legendary Dany Bill.

Farid had the privilege to train as a child with Thai instructors such as Lom Isarn, Lamkong or Soudareth. This is probably why Villaume is one of the few foreigners to fight exactly like a Thai.
