Muay Thai vs Western Boxing

[white devil]

the thread reads : who will win in a street fight.

anything can happen in a street fight..or not happen..(even the fight most of the time)

Wasn't there a K-1 event that pitted a bunch of boxers against a bunch of Muay Thai guys?

I recall some of the fights ending pretty quickly via leg kick.

It depends.

Frans Botha put the hurt down on Cyril Abidi during their first bout, but got DQ'd cause he started punching Abidi on the way down and while on the ground.

In their second meeting, Abidi defended punches alot better and slowed Botha down with leg kicks. He eventually landed a big kick upstairs, which sent Botha to the mat.

Shannon Briggs KO'd a Pride fighter in a first round victory. He retired from MMA after his first fight because he said he never wants to get kicked in the legs again...lol.

Botha got KOd by Fujiyama via kick to the head. Meanwhile,

Masato squared off against a recently retired middleweight boxing champion, who had a really high KO percentage. The entire bout had the boxer taking the fight to Masato, whom was using thai kicks to the leg and body defensively while back tracking and moving away from his power hand.

After absorbing/blocking about 10 kicks, the boxer got hit by a leg kick, fell and started crawling.

Boxers have KOd muaythai fighters and vice versa. It just depends whose able to adapt to the other and use their skills.

The title of the thread said STREETFIGHT.
I want to see a boxer and a kickboxer fight each other with broken beer bottles and see who would win.

Unfortunately, this is the only footage you can get of a boxer and kickboxer squaring off and its in a legally arranged fight.

Shannon Briggs (Boxing) vs. Tom Erikson (NHB)

K-1 Rules (Both fighters are fighting outside of their normal rules - Erikson comes from a wrestling background, but fights NHB)

[Tom Yum]

Frans "The White Buffalo" Botha (boxing) vs. Cyril Abidi (K-1)



Botha rendered a quick beatdown, boxing style.

[Tom Yum]

Merciless Ray Mercer (Boxing) vs. Musashi (K-1). Not a good fight.

[Tom Yum]

Botha (boxing) vs. Jerome Le Banner (K-1)

Le Banner is a decent boxer and actually rocks Botha a few times with a few solid right hooks and a nice left cross in the first round, but you can't keep boxing a boxer - Botha drops Le Banner in the 2nd.

The fight goes on with Le banner getting good solid clinch knees and decent kicks downstairs and upstairs; Botha returns the favor rocking Le Banner with some big punches -> Botha is tough as nails!

given equal athletes, its highly unlikey a boxer would beat a muay thai fighter. The old days of Thai boxers not having good hands is gone. Muay thai schools now teach hand skills as a root system. I make my fighters do 1 month hands only and yes I was a boxer, have titles etc and am a certified boxing instructor, so that my fighters are getting solid hand skills. You would be hard pressed to find an instructor now adays that doesnt feel theat hand skills are worthy of trianing.
my 2 cents, you can keep the change!

Excellent. I agree with you. Fortunately, most of the instructors I've trained under have emphasized western boxing too.

hello,

loaded question.

by western boxing, what do you mean? do you mean the stuff they do on tv? oscardelahoya/floydmayweather?

or do you mean actual pugilism? these are two different things.

pugilists used knees to legs, used clinch, used elbows, used kicking.

as far as your question: who has better hands? well, neither. the individual techniques known by players of both styles are comparable. what makes the difference is how each player handles range.

majapahit fighters tend to use serious punching as a finishing method, whereas, european fighters tended to use punching to control position.

lastly... sagat vs balrog.... sagat!!

thanks
