does anyone know if there is ever any heavy weight muay thai fights in thailand? seems like the only fights they have are with tiny lil asian men that weigh 145 pounds. I weigh 250 and could cut down to about 205, I'd love to fight for money in thailand but I don't think there would be anyone at 205 to fight.

does anyone with experince from thailand know if there are ever any heavy weight bouts? if not whats the heavyest weight people fight at over there?

i'm not sure but arn't alot of the fights in thailand at openweight, you will definately get a fight in thailand alot of them fighters will fight anyone when it comes to money. the 145lb fighters are leathal so i'd hate to think of fighting a 205lb thai, good luck

Yea, unfortauntly alot of thai people are small. Thats why they invented Muay Thai, amazing self defance.

Thai heavy weights aren't the same heavyweight class as ours. I believe their heavyweights are around 180 and I think the next up is Super Heavyweight which is 200. I may be wrong but I can double check when I go to my gym in a couple of days. I train in Korea but they use the same weight classes.

I just thought of it, maybe they have a different wieght system.. like 150 is super heavy and stuff like that...

Here's my first fight. A bit messy, but the guy I was fighting was pretty wild, they call him the crazy backfist man, haha. You can see there's about 20 pounds weight difference in this one..........
