Last night we went to a Thai Boxing match. As those of you who know me will know, I'm usually a handbag and shoes kind of girl so boxing was a whole new experience. Dan had to explain the rules to me! It was surprisingly addictive, probably because we were more or less ringside so had a great view of all the gore and action. One of the guys in the first match, second round (is that the right terminology?!) got a massive, black eye that swelled so much you couldn't even see his eye. It didn't look like much fun. The men were very measured in their fights, but then they had two women boxers and they were nasty. Their fighting got really vicious and quite out of control until one woman literally fell out of the ring and lost the match. Ugh! Anyway, a new cultural experience for me. Probably not a sport I'll regularly watch, but insightful all the same. Broadening the mind in a way!
