I agree Dazza.

Pro boxing is dying in this country because everyone knows that the scoring systen is flawed. You can win a boxing fight by running away and tapping someone on the nose more times than he taps you. Power and effect doesnt come into it.

Thai boxing has the opportunity to take the market by storm. It is spectator friendly, dynamic and has the "crash factor" that the public want.

The rules are simple but people havent been told them.

The average Joe sees 2 guys in a ring and thinks that Boxing rules apply.

We have to educate the people and make this sport fly!

For goodness sake...I understand how Sumo is scored cos they told me on the telly!

I disagree with some things that have been said on here....

All techniques score equally in my understanding. A good knee scores better than a crap punch. A good punch scores less than a crap knee etc etc. The fact is that a good body kick has greater potential for causing damage than a good punch so most times a good kick scores better than a good punch. But in reality all techniques score the same.
Over time people will see more good body kicks than they will see good punches and can therefore start to think that kicks score more than punches...but they dont. They might happen more but dont score more.

Think about it!
