Or had easy matches before that.
A guy that took a Muay Thai fight today 6 yrs ago had only done thai while coming to my sparring practice ( regular boxing).. within the first minute his nose was all red and I kept giving crap to him that an old geezer outpaces him constantly...
Well he learned his lesson and went pro...
Back in the day MT started in Finland we didn´t have anyone but boxers to sparr with.
No wonder our club was the most succesfull club in the world at the time with 5 amateur WC´s and 2 pro.
