Move forward, punch as many times as they do, then kick/knee more than they do. That’s how you win in the US.

You know how the judges score, so use it to your advantage. Don’t say you prefer to lose because it looks Thai style. Come on dude, gotta win in America if you want to be held up to international judging standards.

Ridiculous decision IMO. It’s Muay Thai and should be scored that way.

As you said, he out-boxed you but your clinch (in particular) and kicking were both far far superior.

man, terrible decision, matt. you did more than enough to win. outworked him heavily in the clinch and from outside. could have used your teep a bit more to his front hip to make him pay for the jabs, but still did more than enough to win. sorry they robbed you, but that’s how it goes in the good ole u.s. of a. keep it up. peace!

Good fight matt! If this fight were anywhere else, you would have won that fight. John hardly kicked except for a couple of spinning kicks. You kicked him over and over again with the right kick. John’s boxing was better but this is a muay thai fight and I had you winning. Again, good fight Matt!

Good fight, Matt! Had you winning by a margin. John is known not to throw too many kicks. He is a good boxer, obviously.

Matt you did great. John had a lightning quick backpeddling 1 2 punch and that’s it. matt was like chasing a chicken around the ring. you should have worn track shoes for this fight. did they even score knees in this fight? matt threw as many knees as john threw punches. and to my understanding knees counted more than punches. and your right roundhouse looked nice! i saw rib cage trauma after some connects. looks like you were trying to set him up with the left face kick though. Matt showed a better well rounded game plan than john in my opinion. i was trained before to fight like john (fighting backwards until the opponent gave an opening going forward) and am now adjusting to fight like Matt and it’s a horribly painful process but more gratifying in terms of controlling the tempo of the fight. matt your combos and knees looked great! one thing john had on you was speed. and your right about the difference in judging btwn thailand and us. the judges need to study better the way thais judge fights if muay thai is to develop and become competitive globally. Judging, like you said, develops how fighters train for and fight in competition. GREAT FIGHT MATT.

solid performance, you definately won that. you hit him far more times than he hit you plain and simple. what kind of thai boxer doesn’t kick? i hate american judges.

what weight was this fought at?
