MUAY THAI MONDAY NIGHT Thapae Boxing Stadium |
| Thapae Boxing Stadium Muay Thai or Thai Boxing is when hands, shins, knees and elbows are all used extensively during a fight. This is different from western boxing which only involves the fists. Thapae Boxing Stadium (where the Muay Thai match takes place) is not big. Bright lights in shades of pink, yellow and green at the indoor pub right beside the boxing ring added a cheery ambience to the otherwise dark arena. A special segment known as "black humor fighting" adds to the "fun factor". Before each black humor match, four fighters will be blindfolded. As a result, most of these fighters deliver their punches without knowing where they are and often hit the referee by mistake, bringing laughter and fun. |
