Hoda Fadel - not really from South America, but I can't help myself posting her pic.
Judging criteria, punches are scored less compared to kicks and knees.
I doubt it, politics always involved in Thailand when a Farang faces a local Champion.even if they scored the same, he still lost by a wide margin in most of his fights.
And if Dekkers lost all his fights in Thailand on the scorecards because punches score so much less, then how did he revolutionize the game by getting the Thais to all fight more like him? Wouldn't fighting more like Dekkers mean increasing your chances of losing fights on the scorecard, as well? This whole Dekkers narrative is so derpy that you don't even have to watch the fights to know that it isn't true.even if they scored the same, he still lost by a wide margin in most of his fights.
What do you mean you doubt it? Just watch the fights and see, you don't have to doubt anything.I doubt it, politics always involved in Thailand when a Farang faces a local Champion.

that's why he lost most of his fights in thailand and got embarrassed in some.
bahahahaha.
so what about all the thais gambling on the fight, they happily accepted losing money so their countryman got the win? Outside the stadiums you may have a point, just may though! In the stadiums no way! Dekkers said those words so must be true then, no fighter ever has been unable to accept decisions going against them right?!?!?!I hear this alot on sherdog about dekkers loosing to the thais, which is true, but one thing to take into consideration, is that his losses were decisions, and the politics/bureaucracy in thailand at the time, was that if he didnt ko them, he would loose. Meaning anytime it went to a decision, they would give it to the thai. Not trying to start a huge debate about it, but it is something to consider, dekkers said these words himself.
"teep type kicks"seen a superman punch here and there, and a few of those flicky teep type kicks to the face.
"teep type kicks"
it's right there in front of you man
dumbest shit I've heard, especially after the international Rajadamnern card that just happened.
what fights are you talking about exactly? Orono, Sangtiennoi, Jomhod played with Dekkers.

you may have a point, assuming the majority of thais were betting on Dekkers.
many things can be debated, what if this, what if that........what if the majority of the thais placing bets were betting on their countryman? So Dekkers losing meant they made money rather then lost.
There was very little exposure to MT in those days and foreigners simply didn't understand the scoring. Dekkers' losses look exactly the same as Westerners today who do no research on MT and get surprised when they lose a decision. Walk forward whiffing on punches while getting teeped the whole time and you will lose, whether youre Thai or not, whether its today or the 90s.dekkers said these words himself.
