Does anybody actually no how muay Thai is scored!? In the uk I've been to many Thai boxing shows in the last 2/3years in the uk and can never understand how the judges score fights and how they give the decisions they give!
Recent posts shows how finishing the fights stronger wins you the fight, e.g
Blue wins 1st
Blue wins 2nd
Blue wins 3rd
Red wins 4th
Red wins 5th
( blue looses ?? ). I can understand this if they are both going hell for leather with each other for all these rounds and the red is showing more dominant at the end , but not if red takes a smashing 1 - 2 and 3 and in 4 and 5 just throws to score because that isn't being dominant!?
Also I have heard that rounds 1 - 2 don't even get scored so if that's the case y can one corner win 1-2-3 ?? Just fight 3 rounds!!?
Then on to the scoring what scores better than what? What actually scores? I've heard low kicks dont score body kicks do? All body kicks the hard ones or the flicks or all!?
What if blue throws a body kick, red side steps and catches the kick and moves in at takes blues standing leg off balances him but doesn't floor him who scores higher!!?
To me Thai boxing In the uk is unbelieveably corrupt , the amount of talking/confering/textin between judges is a absolute joke they should be watching the rounds and scoring the rounds that's it!!?
Can anyone answer these questions!!?
