Boxer Vs. Kickboxer/Muy Thai Fighter?

[martialartist1]

such a easy question. well ofcourse its gona be the kickboxer/muaythai guy. kickboxer/muay thai guy has much more advantages than the boxer. though one cannot underestimate because anything could happen. for example the boxer may be very skilled that he would know how to deal with kicks and the kickboxer could just kick to the boxer's shins. the chances are the kickboxer would win. if you ever watched the greatest kickboxer of all time "don 'the dragon' wilson" you would know just how dominate kicks are against a boxer in the ring in one of his videos.

my moneys on the kickboxer and muay thai geeza, purely because they have more tools and will be used to them

[Thuggish]

boxers are tough and might have a chance, especially if youre someone like mike tyson (i hate him but he's quite the puncher) or lennox lewis (you know, that 6'6'' black man who weighs like 270, and its not fat...) but a thai boxer has an incredible edge. it comes down to the fact that they kick. and they kick HARD. in the ring or on the street, one quick kick, and theyre all quick, to the leg, especially the knee, or in the ribs, or if open the head- a boxer isnt liekly to survive that. if he does, kick him again. while on average a boxer's hands are likely better than a thai boxer's hands, there are lots of thai boxers that have great boxing skill. then theres knees at close range, which hurt, and elbows- not allowed in all 50 states because theyre so deadly- which any true thai boxer is very good with. boxers fight hands and throw a nasty punch. thai boxers fight hands, feet, knees, elbows, limited throws, and throw nasty kicks and punches not too far behind. ever been kicked in the head? by one of those guys? yea, thai boxer all the way, most of the time.

On Saturday, December 11, 1999 Chinese San Shou champions faced boxers from the United States in 9 mixed rules matches. The rules of this event had been arranged almost a year earlier between representatives of the International Wushu Federation (IWUF) and US boxing representatives. The rules for the Chinese fighters were that they were to wear no shoes and be allowed to punch, initiate takedowns and kick above the knee. The rules for the boxers were that they were to wear their boxing shoes and allowed to punch only. Kicking and takedowns were forbidden on the US side, although there was a stipulation that at the moment a Chinese fighter initiated a takedown, the American would be allowed to counter the takedown by attempting a takedown himself. Every fight was scheduled for 5 rounds of 2 minutes each.

Junior Welterweight - 62 kg Men

 

Geriletu, Inner Mongolia vs. Golden Johnson

 

This was the fight of the vicious roundhouse kick. The Mongolian boxer consistently threw low roundhouse kicks to the thighs of Johnson. These kicks were hitting so loudly, that the impact could be heard throughout the hall. In the first round, Geriletu hit Johnson with these kicks about three times which slowed Johnson down and put him on the defensive for the entire round. Evidently, the Chinese coach noted the power of this kick and in the opening minutes of the second round the Mongolian was like a Muay Thai kickboxer hammering away at the back of the American's thighs, just above the knee. The boxer took about five more shots to the leg and then fell to the ground writhing in agony, clutching his left knee. Much to the anguish of the American fans, help was not admitted into the ring until the 10-second count was completed to give the Chinese fighter a victory with a knockout. Then, Johnson's trainer (who was incredibly strong) scooped up Johnson with one hand and opened the ropes with the other to get him medical attention.

 

What was shameful about the fight was that while the American trainer was taking the injured fighter out, the Sanshou fighter was jumping up and down in the middle of the ring doing back flips to celebrate his victory which came the expense of someone else's injury.

 

Junior Middleweight - 66 kg Men

 

Yu Banming, Zhejiang vs. Steven Martinez

 

This was the same fight as previously with different faces. Evidently the Chinese thoroughly enjoyed their previous victory and maintained the course with the same tactics. This resulted in almost 10 attempts at roundhouse kicks by Yu Banming just in the opening minute of the fight. He connected just two or three times but it was enough to injure Martinez who was able to crawl back to his corner but unable to fight anymore resulting in a TKO victory for Yu Banming. Yu Banming followed Geriletu's celebrate over your wounded colleague, entertaining the Chinese crowd with jump inside kicks.
