Hi BLZbub, glad to hear the Mavrick didn't completly wipe the floor with you!
BTW, sorry I never noticed your first question.
The Muay Thai rules will be that of the STBA, which are almost identical to that of the WMC and the event is also sanctioned by the WMC. The great news is that Tony Myers will be the main Ref for the event, so issues like fouls and spoiling will I'm sure be picked up. All fighters will get a brief run through of the rules as they do at all events, wither the follow them is another matter.
As for anklets and the reg's on wraps, obviously rules are there for a reason, but I think a bit of common sense has to be used as well. Everyone wraps hands and knuckles significantly and its done to protect the boxer's hands. Hands aren't designed for punching, as I'm sure most pro fighters out there who have bust there hands will testify. Within reason, I think it is fair to allow the knuckles to be taped. As for anklets, I know what you mean and I'm sure Tony will be on top off any problem, I have no doubt! On the other hand, you often see double anklets worn in fights, I've also seen it in Thailand.
The only non-scot guest Ref will be Tony, saying that he is an honourary Scot!
I also think that was a bit unfair on the last Ref, alright some might have questioned his performance and he is a big lad, but I'm also pretty sure the big man can fight! LOL.
Damn it! I was going to make that quick as I'm just running our the door and I'm now late!
BTW Stevie, Ed asked me what we're going to call him now he ain't ginger! LOL.
