Ah yes, it was Doug. My comment was needed, I think, because it presented information that was lacking. I offered some comment directly from the fighters here in Thailand, not from hearsay.

Now, as to boxing being weak, that’s absolute ignorance and I never said that. We train heavily in both, because punching has finally gotten its due in Thailand. It’s become more strategic, and it is no longer seen as a betrayal of Thai traditional boxing to use “Western” punches.

We regularly spar using Queensbury rules–no MT attacks–and I have the utmost respect for boxing. If you look around this site, you’ll see a number of my posts that say a basic boxer with solid footwork and conditioning can beat almost any martial art.
