    I just ran across this video earlier, and plan on watching it tonight. I don't speak the language so I don't know exactly what is going on. Hopefully there are some fun fights, but having seen only the first bout; it could be full of mismatches.

    Hey Rev, don't waste the hour you'll spend watching this, low quality stuff. :bart

    This happens in Mae Sot every year 5 Thais vs 5 Burmese in what's called Muay Khat Chueak, basically bare knuckle Muay Thai with hand wraps. The Thais tend to be ex fighters who were nothing more than mediocre in thier day and they tend to totally dominate the inexperienced and technically inept Burmese, ugly stuff. The first bout is a little unusual cos the Burmese fighter has definitely trained MT in Thailand as it basically looks like a normal Thai khat chueak fight.

    Funny timing with the bump on this thread, I'm of to Yangoon on Friday morning for business.....;)
