the article via lourne is very interesting
most fights in thailand when scores are read out usually finish 49- 48, 49- 47 or something very similar, in fact in many years of watching fights here i cant ever remember a fighter scoring 50 or a fighter scoring 45
infact when a fighter is judged by the ref to being overwhelmed he will stop the fight mid round, so i dont see where the 10-7 score can come into it
fights here i believe take on there own scoring system, the thais strongly favour knee strikes to the body, and control of your opponent in the clinch, body kicks are the main weopon and punches which actually do show effect seem to be totally dimissed
i watch many final rnds where the winner is hanging on for life after being almost knocked sensless by punches , trying to cling on to his lead,
that together with the gambling aspect in the main stadiums is why i believe we can never truly score the same as thailand
plus for all we as farangs believe we fight like thais we are still a long way off in my opinion, i love watching the thais fight, yet some of our domestic fights are really boring, the one we are discussing being a fine example
