@MrDcnmmdl15 A idget?

[deadwood223]

The only thing I've never liked about traditional Muay Thai is the lack of emphasis on boxing technique, which is more a fault of the traditional scoring system than a fault of the art itself. An example of Japanese kickboxing that has a high emphasis on boxing technique is fighters like Masato (K1 MAX) who I believe struck an advantage by having superior boxing to most fighters.

@deadwood223

I kinda see where you are at with that idea.

However Muay Thai, like other ring sports, was designed to fight its own style.

I think if K1 allowed full Thai rules fighters, like Masato, would struggle. Even with his 'extra' emphasis on boxing!

@deadwood223 hhh like i said..you're uninformed.John W. Parr,Buakow and several other who have fought in K-1 max fight full rules muay thai as well.Nobody is going to to make a living only fighting K-1 max.Which is only once a year and the only time you get the grand prize of 60,000 or so u.s dollars.is if you win the whole tounament.Certainly not something to base your career on.If you are a kickboxer and want to be the best ,you fight full muay thai rules.Period.

hahah yeah chi if its so powerfull show us give us an example in the ring then you prove your point but for now muaythai reamins NUMBER1

[IamAlwaysRight]

@deadwood223 Let's not forget the other ''advantage'' Masato had... Japanese referees!!  In all fairness the same thing could be said about foreigners fighting in Thailand, and Masato, even though I believe he wasn't the best, was still an amazing fighter.

@yun131 hey hey hey, Muay Thai is nice and fancy too! :D

[deadwood223]

@KilroyWasHere444 Yes I have actually wondered that, and the answer is very simple:

There is far and beyond more money in K1

[KilroyWasHere444]

@deadwood223 uninformed...Sasiprapa home of world boxing champion Torsak Ponsupa and about a dozen other top 10 western boxing contenders.If you dont see a western boxing technique in muay thai it is because it has been weeded out due to ineffectiveness or because it will put you in the hospital.No disrespect to Masato,who is a great fighter,but have you ever wondered why his "superior" boxing never translated to any significant time in the upper ranks of full rules muay thai?
