    I think this is due to the abuse by officals in thailand and other countrys, the international booklets have been around for yrs but can be falsifyed in variouse countrys that have corrupt officals. MANY MANY boxers in thailand have falsifyed records, you could be fighting a guy whos had 150 fights but he fights under a diffrent name with only 20 fights on his record, or you get a bloke whos never fought a boxing match in his life getting a book that says his record is 20-0 , all fights of course in thailand lol

    The HIV issue is of concern, WTF!

    Exactly, so many of these Thai's inpersonate on a regular basis.
    Something like this is needed across the board.

    Kegsy, the officals earn around 2,500 baht per month. Which is roughly 80$ AUD. Its very cheap to pay these officals off and that is half of the problem in some of the countrys that falsify boxing records. They need to do something similar to what they do with VISA passports which i think is what the WBC guys are proposing? the only problem is they are going to need to spend money or get help from the goverment, lets hope that they do either of the two.

    While there's a lot of truth to both your points. As Australian boxing fans we wouldn't even be concerned about what goes in Indo or Thai boxing if it weren't for the unscrupulous ****s in our own country trying to inflate local prospects records by importing these guys.
