   Underrated in the USA at least. As far as I know its the best stand up no weapons fighting around. They use the kicks, and elbows and knees. In Thailand them cats still have fight records like they did in the 50's - 60's era of western boxing too. 90 to 200 fights I think. Imma go to Thailand one day and see it live.

   They start cats out there young too. Plus it seems that the training for it is real thorough and thats always good. Cats be gettin knocked out super thorough too.


      Well here are some clips I found on Youtube.


1. Dany Bill vs Coban. Dany Bill is a cat from Cameroon who lives in France who some folks consider the best non Thai, muay thai boxer to fight over there. Dude had a slick style. He is a DJ/producer now.

2. Coban vs Ramon Dekkers 1. Hear how thorough their punches and kicks sound. Coban wasn't no joke. He is kinda like Tyson with his style. Ramon Dekkers is a Dutch cat who was good back in the days too and fought Thais on their home turf.

3. Coban Dekkers 2. Ramon gets Coban back.

I would have thought differently,  my ex boyfriend and his little brother were very into Muay Thai. 
Also, I use to workout at a gym for amatuer and professional boxers and kickboxers.  They offered a couple of classes for muay thai and they were always pretty full.
