It is like , you put the heaviest wrestler versus the lighter wrestler .
Stupid honestly. And wtf - dont bandange your hands , just bare-knuckle is enough.
But i see many myanmmar people are not proud of their race and country once they come to CHINESE SPEAKING COUNTRIES or countries with many Chinese populations such as Shanghai , Hong Kong , Singapore.
i don't know much about muay thai but i don't think muay thai is better than myanmar lethwai(kickboxing). these burmese fighters are amateur. you better see top fighters such as lone chaw or Tway Ma Shaung .
@kemp Lethwei techniques are very different from Thai. Not only is the punch technique different but there 12+ punches in the lethwei system where Thai has a bout 5. Things that do not exist in Thai that do exist in Lethwei, bullguard, bull rush, leading hand stance, elephant steps, god's shield are to name a few vast differenceds. To the untrained eye they dont look different. That's like saying wrestling and judo are the same they both have take downs is ridiculous.
@guidosp88 Nope. These are amateur fighters. Type in young Wan Chai, in his 20-30's Lethwei has fewer gyms and lesser understanding of their techniques due to the lack of systemetizing their techniques so they are taught in parts by instructors who know part of the system but not all. Recently the system has be taught better and the fighers are getting better. Some examples, Win Tun, Tway McShawn, Saw Shark are a few that have the system down well.
@guidosp88 In summary, not all the lethwei fights are good quality fights or fighters. Burmese are still learning their system. It took me 2 years to learn the lethwei executions and still I dont have them perfect. Even though this has existed thousand year's the techniques are told in stories, you see the problem....so this means that the storyteller doesnt show you yet you have to figure it out by what the story means.....Thai however has perfectly got their system down in a gym setting.
@guidosp88 By the way, in my previous post I mentioned young Wan Chai in his 20's....if you remember. I told you how great he was and had a lot of the system down. Wan Chai beat every Thai boxer that they put in front of him to the point they were calling Wan Chai a Thai. Also, the fighter in this video is named Ali. Wan Chai beat Ali in roughly 30 seconds. So you see the difference in skills.
Lethwei is only stand up, therefore the fight has to be kept standing. Throws are legal but once both or one fighter is on the floor, the fight must then coninue standing up.
I find this totally unfair and weird .

The Blue Shorts definitely have a longer reach and he is taller and heavier .
That is like - man , a 1.6 metres tall man fighting Kareem Abdul Jabbar in one of the Bruce Lee Movies.
