Thaiboxing size

rezbot2000 · 05-06-2008, 12:58 PM

Hey guys,

I don't know much about thai boxing other than the basics. I think they fight in weight classes. Does that mean a smaller person doesn't have much chance against a larger opponent? How do you think a smaller opponent would do against a regular streetfighter who is bigger?

Hey if you're talking a streetfight, anything goes, there are no rules.

To win in any combat situation, if you are smaller, you need to make up for it in other areas. You need to be better armed, faster, more numerous, or of greater skill. That is the case no matter what style or sit. you're talking about.

If there are two people of equal everything, but one is bigger, that one will win. I'm not saying a little guy can't win against a big one, just that he needs something else on his side, because it's harder.

Depends on the fighter.
