Nephilim does it again! You said everything I was thinking (just in a much nicer way considering my rep here on AX).

That being said, the whole argument of the sport belonging to anyone is somewhat arbitrary. MT has been gaining in popularity over the years, but overall it is still generally considered a Thai sport. Hence most people saying Thai rules or Thai boxing. I believe that if MT is to grow and cleanse itself of arguments like this one, there has to be a unified rules of MT much like the unified rules of Boxing. Then you can also have your "alphabet soup” sanctioning body rules of MT i.e. WBC, WKA, ISKA etc. Taking all that into consideration, if the fight is an interclub thing, then the WMTC rules should be gospel. As a westerner and an avid student and fan of boxing, I of course would be biased in favor or a puncher; however, once rules are clearly etched in stone and made finite, that punching bias has to go away.

Back on topic…

I the end I think we can all agree that Mr. Gacy JWP lost the fight and should definitely fight Yod again in order to put to rest all the nay sayers and determine once and for all who the better man is. I think that if JWP fights Yod and gives it all he’s got, win lose or draw he will prove that he does not take hand outs and that every win on his record is earned and beyond contestation.

At the risk of being made fun of like Rickster, I actually would like to see the UK’s finest i.e. Liam Harrison go up against JWP or preferably Yod. What’s wrong with that? Hell Jordan Watson fought Buakaw, why can’t Liam take on Yod, JWP and or Buakaw too? What’s the weight difference? I admit I’m ignorant in regards to that.
