[Dress Code]
●To ensure the boxer's safety, a groin protector must be worn and tied only at the back.
●Long hair and/or beards are prohibited. A short moustache is allowed but the hair must not extend over the lip.
(I had seen a boxer with hair covering his ears.)
●The Mongkol should be worn when performing the Wai Kru (paying respect to one's teacher), prior to the match start.
[Wai Kru]
●Prior to the start of the first round, both fighters shall perform the Wai Kru (paying respect to the teacher), accompanied by the appropriate Thai tradifional music, incorporating the Ching (cymbal), Klong khaek (tom-tom) and Pee Java (Thai reed pipe).
(I think it also has some connections with the religion.)
[Round]
●A Muay Thai match shall consist of five rounds, 3 minutes per round with a 2 minute break between each round. Any stoppage during the match for any reason, will not be counted as part of the 3 minute round time.
[Boxer's Eligibility]
●No physical disability and at least 15 years old.
●Minimum weight: l00 pounds (45.36 kg).
(But in this night, the first game is 2 kids fighting against each other. In the middle of the game, there were 6-7 kids blind fighting. I think these 2 are entertaining games.)
[Reviews]
●More than 80% of the attacks starts from kicking. But I just saw boxers K.O. with punches, never with kicks.
●Boxers use elbow and knee attacks only when they need to get away from opponent’s clinch. These attacks are not threatening nor bloody because boxers are so close to each other. I guess there might be some hidden rules about this.
●Stumbling also gets points.
●Fleshless ones always defeat muscular ones.
●I think the Thai boxer had some match fixing stuffs when he fought against the Scottish boxer.
●Not so many people bet on these games.
●The music is the best part.
●It’s a pity that I missed the women boxing matches.
●I need to have some underground Muay Thai matches as well. I wish I could find some.
