I agree with Damien, Vinny and others, this was the best show I have been to for quite some time. A really outstanding show and a great showcase for the sport, not just for the UK Muay Thai scene but for Muay Thai full stop. The fights couldn't have been more exciting and everyone who contributed in any way should be congratulated. There always have to be individual winners and losers but the sport definitely won this weekend. Well done to everyone involved: promoters Master Sken and Dan, MC, officials, commentary team, coaches but most of all the fighters.
There were some excellent displays of skill and courage. The future looks bright for UK Muay Thai, some outstanding performances from our boxers, win or lose all contributed to a great afternoon and evening. I was impressed by the skills demonstrated as well as the courage shown, but particularly skills shown by our developing young boxers. I agree with Richard and Rob that we are 100% right to continue to judge, officiate and train in line with Thai way. I really feel that if the development of UK Muay Thai skills continues at the same rate it has done in recent times, it won't be that long before we have a number of boxers here in the UK who will have the skills to beat top Thais at Muay Thai- as opposed to a modification of it designed to ensure we win.
