"It is not the winning or losing but the taking part"
Perhaps the senitiment for a interclub but standing in front of A class fighter (who has devouted a good part of his life to Muay Thai and is for him his passion and his lively hood ) and telling them that they lost not in the ring but outside because of politics and external factors is not pleasant.

Also explaining to hundreds of student supporting the fighter (most of whom train in Muay Thai)why a fighter lost makes them disilusioned. You lose you lose that is life and you often learn more from losing then winning .

Excepting defeat (even if you feel hard done bye) in a gracious respectful manner is in the true muay Thai spirt (Sak and now David not to mention kieron are good examples never critical or disrepectful in or out of the ring and they have had some shocking decisions against them)

It falls apon the trainer to argue there case and if there is injustice battle against it .Fair inpartial judging is the way forward ,most of the main gym trainers or senior trainers spend a lot of time in BKK stadiums or whatching taped stadium fights and have a fairly good understanding of how fights are scored (even factoring in the non existent early rounds which set the gambling odds).
Impartial judging can ruin our beloved art .Fighters are angry and resentful the paying audience are confused by baffling decisions that cannot be put down to their lack of education in the finer arts of Muay Thai but hidden agenda.
Huge rifts are caused between camps and disintegration begins I believe we should strive for unification and that begins with honest impartial judging , no slanderus statments on forums, Good healthy debate , constructive cristism , and mutual support will aid our progress in my humble opinion.
