FACT - Thai boxing has a history tracing back 2000 years to temple carvings found in Cambodia. It wasn't until the early 20th century that Thai boxing as we know was born
FACT - Kickboxing was developed in the late 60's by American karate-ka who wanted to compete outside of the strict rules of kumite.
There is barely 50 years between the 2 of them so what's all the fuss about???
I'm a Thai boxer through and through but have trained with kick boxers like Dale Wood, Mick Crossland and Jack Clay. They can all kick hard and can all punch hard......the only difference between their style and mine is the delivery of the techniques.
Massive respect to both Jonno and Ronnie for agreeing to fight each other in their respect styles. Never seen Ronnie fight in the flesh, only seen the HL reels but I saw Jonno fight at Leeds town hall a few years ago, both fights should be ace and tbh can't see either of them going the distance. FC fight gonna be an absolute slug fest that I think might end in a draw. The Thai fight is gonna be bonkers.... lowkick, clinch and elbow madness that's gonna end by cuts. Just my opinion.
good luck Ronnie and good luck Jonno
