February 2, 201313 yr Not sure if there are rules against posting link but I just came across this video from LiveLeak. The fight is hilariously but for those expert on the sport chime in as I am seriously curious. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7f7_1359713152
February 2, 201313 yr I had to laugh at the way the referee kept getting floored and getting up as though nothing had happened as for whether it was a genuine match I couldnt tell ya !
February 2, 201313 yr obvious fake. sort of thing you see in those rings they put in bars to entertain the tourists
February 2, 201313 yr The sad part is that they were probably real former fighters who retired with nothing. Even Buakaw--Thailand's superstar, was getting only a few hundred a fight during his prime--until he left his camp and became his own man. I've been training in Thailand for over a decade, and I've met so many cab drivers, moto-taxi drivers, etc. that were former fighters who had upwards of 100 fights and have nothing to show for it. This spectacle in the video is the "fighter graveyard."....btw...you can always spot the former fighters and trainers by how fat they are. All of my coaches had pot belly's like the guy in this vid.

October 2, 201312 yr it is staged. in the past when i stayed in a boxing camp in ayuthaya we had to give shows like that during various thai festivals. quite funny
