StoneSoup Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I wonder if this approach would work with Technical School "tough guys" in Bangkok???? Songkran 'fight night' in Buri Ram Brawling teenage hooligans were made to face off in the ring against professional Muay Thai boxers at a Songkran festival in Buri Ram township on Sunday night. Newin Chidchob, chairman of Buriram United football club and influential politician in Buri Ram, told Songkran revellers in front of the i-Mobile Stadium, the home stadium of Buriram United... "This Songkran, I want to promise you that there won't be fights. But if anyone of you started a fight, I've prepared a boxing ring and professional Muay Thai boxers for you and you'll have to box for threem rounds and you cannot say no..." On Sunday night, Mr Newin's guards caught five young men who were involved in fights at the fair. They were taken to the boxing ring to exchange blows against professional boxers. The matches can be seen in the video clip below. http://youtu.be/FYKI6QgN5YY Please credit and share this article with others using this link:http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/404924/brawling-revellers-forced-step-in-the-ring-and-fight-professional-muay-thai-boxers.

Flashermac Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Newin has done this before with young men arrested for fighting in public. But I preferred it a few years ago, when he brought in Japanese porn stars, including Sora Aoi, to be his Songkran guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 The last one must have done some muay Thai before and put up a good fight but got his comeuppance in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Muay Thai justice for brawlers seen as a rights violation The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) yesterday said Buriram Football Club president Newin Chidchob's idea to bring on stage the youngsters, who had reportedly been fist fighting during the club's Songkran celebrations, to fight with professional Muay Thai boxers, was a rights violation. The free-style matches without referee reflected the Thai society's issue of people often resorting to the use of violence and violated the five youngsters' rights and liberty, if such fights resulted to injuries or deaths, NHRC member Niran Pitakwatchara said. Newin also wasn't a court judge to decide and punish the wrongdoing of people with such a method, ever though such action might be done by Newin's good intention. The country had a law and justice procedure to cover this matter, he added. Niran said individuals injured in the boxing ring could file lawsuits because this was regarded as a criminal case. He went on that if these individuals and relatives wanted the NHRC to investigate, they had to file an official request for NHRC probe, or, the NHRC could table this matter for consideration. Should there be a request, the NHRC would carry out a fact-finding inquiry from both sides first and police would also be invited to explain what happened, as to ensure justice, he explained. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Muay-Thai-justice-for-brawlers-seen-as-a-rights-vi-30231585.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
