whats your point?

did I say this had be? couldn't be? shouldn't be? was wrong? was right?

I just asked a question.

I have said that some MuayThai fighters use western style punches(more outside of Thailand than inside). Terminology-I don't see the relavance.

Every country and fighting style has punches do they come from boxing?

There is a different style of punching in MuayThai.

I think good punchers using boxing style punches reminded the Thais about the 'lesser' of their weapons.

I think that those few brought the awareness back and did help improve the Thais hands.

But there is a very different style between tipical boxing punches and traditional MuayThai punches. Some use both, some use more of one.

I trained MuayThai for a long time and I trained boxing for awhile. I also trained in Thailand and after all that I can say there is a vast different way in traditional MuayThai punching as in western boxing.

But I am not saying boxing hasn't had its effects on some fighters and some gyms.

But I think this is another topic.
