If your not skinny already, your probably better off just going for muscle and a bigger form, with more weight on you, you can throw harder punches.
Otherwise you may find yourself on forums asking for safe ways to put on weight.
Having said this, I really can't give any help, sorry.
He obviously wants that style of appearance, since he asked how to get it. What difference does his reason for wanting it make?

Generally, to create that kind of look, you need to do higher reps with moderate weight, do a lot of low to moderate intensity cardio work (ie "fat burning"), and, most importantly, watch your diet religiously. This is true if you need to drop body fat to get there (if you're already lean and need to build muscle, that's a completely different workout/diet plan).

Of course, if you have the right genetics, you can eat what you want, do little exercise, and still remain lean. I have a friend like that. He's 35 now, and we've hated him for it for 18 years!

Although Muy Thai training tends to be anaerobic rather than aerobic, I find that it does help me drop bodyfat. Hope that helps!
