Re: Glove question
why are they 6 oz when wmc rules would put that weight category as 10oz gloves? |

Re: Glove question
They were fighting Muaythai @ Lumpinee stadium for many decades before the WMC was even thought of. Some stadiums in Thailand use 6oz gloves and others use 8oz  I think you will find that the rules of the WMC was invented by foreigners so foreigners can have some control of the sport of Muaythai out side of Thailand. Within Thailand the only Gym's that I know of being members of the WMC (World Muaythai Council) is a couple of Gyms OWNED by foreigners. WMC Gyms @ Thailand = Stefan Fox @ the WMC camp @ Koh Saumi & Steve @ Phuket Muaythai Gym

Re: Glove question
Thats very humbling of you david to make light of it in the end. it shows u are a good person. Alot of people would get defensive and try and get the last word in and make their own spin on dannys answer. Good for u mate.
