Almost no one likes muay thai. When I say almost no one I mean world wide not people on the forums. Yeah, on the forums, muay thai looks very loved and respected but that because they (muay thai fans) are somehow in a big number on these forums and also very vocal.
Muay thai never was big and never will be. There is a reason why muay thai never was big..... Because is BORING as hell. The dynamic is ten times slower than kickboxing. Too many cuts because of those boring elbows. To much clinch game where almost nothing happens. Also, because of those elbows and too much clinch game, not only thier dynamic sucks, but also they don't have boxing at all. Boxing in kickboxing is amazing by any means; technique, dynamics, KO'S.
Like Ghita said in 2009 (he was a muay thai fighter) muay thai is much below kickboxing and that k-1 rules are way much better than muay thai rules. Again, when I say kickboxing, I mean k-1 rules. Glory and almost all kickboxing organisations does have K-1 rules.
K-1 rules means:
-Spinning back fist,
-spinning back kicks,
-Frontal kicks,
-Knees
-One knee in clinch if you grab your opponent with both hands, but you can throw more knees if you have only a hand on your opponent.
-4 seconds of clinch game
-Kicking game
Again kickboxing rules are different from k-1 rules. Almost no promotion/organisation use kickboxing rules. All big organisations have k-1 rules.
So yeah, muay thai is boring and ugly and they dosen't have many good fighters at all.
NOW, I know a lot of muay thai fans will try to kill me in a verbal context. But I can deal with IT.
This is the truth !
