I assure you that the primary intention of any MT fighter is to kill his opponent, points don't really cross your mind.

Only if your doing it wrong, we are taught to keep a fighting stance at all times.

Same goes for MT, thats what its all about, to be good at MT you need to master all its subtleties.
Anyway boxing is wicked, I love it, especially watching the likes of de la hoya and Barrera, magic stuff.
But don't dis MT, its no fairies contact sport. Its as technical (maybe more so) and as brutal as boxing but just doesn't have the cultural acceptance in the western world.
It would be very interesting to see a full rules MT vs Boxing fight though, with equally skilled opponents. My money'd be on the MT guy every time.
