I realy wasnt meaning to be negative about the style of thai boxing at all just if we are to move the sport forward in the ammature game then we must give more experienced fighters the chance to become fighters in these rules we must be carefull obviously of matching people in these matches,one thing that could be done that is done very well in amm boxing is a class system,i am just thinking of the long run rather than the short term where you will get fighters purely using these fights as a stepping stone to the pro renks,i feel that padded am fights are a great spectacle in themselves and could be promoted well.I also feel that thif form of thai boxing learnes the fighter to use better technique,i am in no way saying the rules or style are wrong just that maby the British amm champion should be the best fighter in britain at fighting amm rules?
jmo no offence ment.
