In response to crippler. I think the single most important thing we should do is return boxing to the forefront of our game. In the early days boxing was very successful for the UK fighters but dwindled away when word got out that "Boxing doesn't score as well" which turns out to be a load of nonsense.

See, there lies a good point. The Thais didn't use boxing that much so we stopped doing it? Why....? Because the Thais didn't. So we took away a piece of our own game to be like them!! Who's going to deny we are trying to be like the Thai's now

Interesting to see Dekker never trained with the Thais and instead of a trip to Thailand would it not be best for a trip to Holland. I hate all the bowing that goes on and never ever do it unless I see Master Sken. I do this because that is his culture and then we shake hands which is my culture.

Getting the Thai trainers over in the UK isn't going to make us beat the Thai's it's going to make us like them. The whole point of my original question was based on that. What can the trainers do to get around the Thai's clever way of fighting. Do we for example adapt a more western style type of boxing in MT where our boxing becomes clean, effective and flowing or de we still try and punch from a Thai stance which I don't think is effective at all. And before anyone says "Yeah but he might he you with this and that" So find away round it.

I don't think training with the Thais is a waste of time but if I was training someone at that level they would never even see the inside of a Thai camp. Then when the fight came along the Thai would be just as disadvantaged as the next guy wondering what might happen. Instead of "Oh my mate down the road taught him to ..............." I know what to expect

There is no right or wrong answer in all this but I think the whole "Thai thing" is a fashion.
