Muay Thai KO Thailand vs Burma Boran bareknuckle Fight

[Livingcoma]

I enjoyed watching the vid. These fights are about real sportmanship. I remember watching shootofights/mma/valetudo fights and they were the same. Today it´s all a big gimmic loaded with freak fighters pumping steroids. The sportmanship is still there but now it´s more about selling a product and having a cool image. It´s almost ridiculous. I haven´t seen the sport itself develop in a long time.

Won over one infamous stupid fighter is not a big deal.

Ok,, " bareknuckle" ????

[Fabianzandt]

how can someone call something that brutal sport???

[myownego]

@Fabianzandt it is not brutal! Those are honorable fights between skilled oponents. Everybody who was ever engaged in martial arts understands this! What can definatly not be called a sport is shooting or bombing people with superior technology! Which for some absurd reason seems to be ethical in comparison to full contact combat sports!

[Fabianzandt]

@myownego Well, I was practicing Kong-Fu for 3 and Muang-Thai for 1/2 years, and that was honorable sport. But something like this can´t be called honorable anymore...

[myownego]

@Fabianzandt I respect our opinion and experiences, but still I have to object, especially to you using the word "anymore". Mauy Thai was traditionally a bareknuckle combat style and it has been practiiced this way for centuries. None of the fighters were forced to go in the ring. It is their choice to test their skill under extreme circumstances.sure the punches, kneekicks and elbows are violent and brutal, but they are elementary to the fighters. It is their way and their pride

@Fabianzandt I totally agree with you. I just respect Muay thai because its a part of thailands culture, but I don´t think it should be called sport.

[absurdV]

@Fabianzandt dont judge this sport if you know nothing about it.

[Gladiusor]

Hell yeah of course the thai fighter wins

[blackbenben]

[KensaiZen]

lethwei fighters usually have good offence but terrible defence lol Nice win from an uneventful match lol

I've seen some very good Boran and some pretty lame boran. Some of it is just scrappy - I assume that's because there isn't much reward and so the practice isn't dedicated as standard Muay Thai. Not a bad fight but LOL at the medics throwing water down his throat to wake him up. Thumbs up for the video (no sound??) but thumbs down to the medical team lolz.
