Fixed fights in Patong, Phuket

[Tee Sok]

This fight was obviously fixed. A good way for foreigners to promote themselves and their schools once they get back home, and of course a good way for the Thais to gain some money. I heard there are many foreigners who do that, but this one is so obviously pre-arranged that it's ridiculous.

I've seen a bunch of fights like that myself in thailand. The right money buys the right outcome so to speak. One part of muay thai is about money and gambling.

Man, that was pretty pathetic whatever it was.

How about this for pathetic as well? The knee doesnt even touch the thais body, it hits him in the forearms!

That was terrible, what a shame. When I saw Ozzy Osbourne I thought you had linked the wrong video!

I've seen a couple of other examples which were not so apparent, like sending in an overweight, over the hill thai who handnt trained in months or years to fight only to get winded out in the late rounds.
