[Denver]

I enjoyed a night of Muay Thai the other night at the Sai Namyen Arena. I've not tried on my 'free' T shirt yet but reckon it might be a bit tight at an XL!

Just one comment from me on the nights events was the 'overseas' fighters being put in the ring with what seemed to a lot of people there on the night..........Totally in-effectual opposition.

I was sat at the front touching the canvas, next to one of the referees who himself has something to say on the matter.

Big Swedish girl against the girl who had just sold us the popcorn and told to pop out back and put some gloves on. She lasted about 28 seconds and carried out of the ring crying. Then the Aussie bloke against the bloke in the carpark with the torch who backs your 4x4 in. "Yes, yes, we'll give you a couple of hundred baht, you won't know what's hit you and you can be back in the carpark in a couple of minutes!"..........and he was! I've been around UK amatuer boxing for a few years and just know that would never be allowed to happen.

Just seemed a bit one-sided to me. I think some of the 35+ fight experienced 14 year old lads from the 'warm up' bouts would have given the 'falang' more of a challenge.

Just my ten satang on the matter. Good nights Muay Thai apart from those bouts.
