Singdam Kiatmoo9 vs Kaew Fairtex - rounds 4 to 5

[Descenter]

also it was the same in all the other fights from the tournament.

was that a split decision?

[sandjora]

Sorry, i don't have that information.

[knee2please]

my guess is that both fighters are known for great kicks and hands so they let it go instead of concentrating on the clinch like they usually do.

[blixten1]

How come the referee separated the fighters almost instantly every time the began to clinch?

New rules?

[Descenter]

I wondered the same! WHY??

@blixten1 yep new rules were introduced in 2008 at Lumpinee this rule was introduced in the hopes to discourage stalling by continuously clinching.
