The moment he stepped into the ring, Chen Sheng felt the smell of frenzy in the air.

Although the fight has not yet started, the emotions of the audience are already very high, and the shouts of the crowd resounded in the ring with the accompaniment of Thai-style music.

Chen Sheng and the others took their tickets, and under the leadership of Ah Ming, they quickly found their seats.

This is the second row of seats close to the ring, the view is very good, you can clearly see all the details of the fight between the two fighters in the ring, the seats around the ring in the infield are only five rows, at this time it is almost full, and half of the spectators sitting in the infield are foreigners, generally Thai locals.

After sitting down, Chen Sheng looked at the situation around him, and Chen Sheng was still very satisfied with this seat.

The three of them sat down and began to discuss the upcoming match, and a white couple sat next to Chen Sheng, and when they heard Chen Sheng and Frank communicating in English, they turned their heads and began to greet Chen Sheng.

"Hello, are you also tourists?"

Chen Sheng looked at the two white couples and replied:

"Hello, we're tourists, I'm from China, and my friend is from the Netherlands."

The white man stretched out his hand directly to Chen Sheng and Frank and said:

"My name is Leval, this is my wife Sophie, we are from France, this is the first time to come to Thailand, and the first time to see a Muay Thai fight"

Chen Sheng and Frank shook hands with each other and introduced themselves, and then the two began chatting together, waiting for the official start of the game.

When the time reached eight o'clock, the evening Muay Thai competition officially began, of course, the first ceremony was the live singing of the Thai national anthem, Chen Sheng and they naturally followed the customs, and also stood up, stood in front of their seats, and listened to all the Thais singing the Thai national anthem together.

After the end of the national anthem, it officially entered the Muay Thai competition that night.

First up is a pair of middleweight fighters, one from Bangkok and the other from Chiang Mai province, both of whom weigh about the same weight at around 72 kilograms and are of similar height.

After the fighters walked into the ring, the positions of the red and blue sides were positioned, and then the live music played, and the two fighters immediately began to dance in the ring.

"Chen, why do they dance before the fight, and I see that they are all barefoot, unlike the boxers in boxing matches who all wear shoes on their feet, is there anything special about that?"

Leval asked curiously.

Chen Sheng turned his head to look at the other party and explained to him:

"This dance is called apprenticeship boxing dance, Thai people believe in Buddhism, this is a kind of prayer ritual before the game, just because of the different schools of teaching, the dance is different, but the general meaning is the same, that is, pray to the sky, pray to the patriarch, pray for the success of the game, pray for their own safety, the whole ceremony is very solemn, is every Thai Muay Thai fighter will do, if it is a fighter from a foreign country, you don't have to do this set of movements.

As for the question of barefoot that you asked, it also has to do with the Buddhist beliefs of the Thai people, Buddhists treat people with the soles of their feet, so in Muay Thai competitions, the fighters must be barefoot."

"Oh, I see, thank you, Chen, listening to your conversation earlier, did you also come to Thailand to learn Muay Thai?"

Leval continued.

Chen Sheng:

"Yes, I used to study martial arts, and the main purpose of this time in Thailand is to learn Muay Thai, but it won't be long, and we will leave after a while."

Leval:

"So what do you think is more powerful among the three martial arts of Chinese martial arts, Muay Thai, and boxing, as far as I know, boxing is currently the most influential in the world, and boxers also have the highest income."

Chen Sheng:

"First of all, I want to point out that martial arts and Muay Thai are not just a school of martial arts, they are more of a philosophy, which contains a lot of life philosophy and historical and cultural information of Chinese and Thai people, and the connotation is very broad, while boxing is just a sport.

As for who is more powerful, there is no way to compare, it mainly depends on who uses it.

It is undeniable that boxing is now more influential in the world, and boxers have the highest income, mainly because in the field of modern technical sports, boxing is popular in the West, and as Western society takes the lead in entering the modern era, boxing has naturally become the earliest and most popular technical sport, so boxing will have its current status.

But we can also see that in recent years, the rest of the martial arts are also booming, and the momentum is getting stronger and stronger, and there is a tendency to catch up, I believe that in a few years, we should see that the outstanding performance of other types of martial arts in the international arena will not be worse than boxing."

The two were chatting, the two fighters in the ring had finished dancing, the two sides had moved closer to the center of the ring, and the game would officially start soon, so the two immediately ended the discussion and shifted all their attention to the ring.

The two fighters walked to the center of the ring, and the referee carefully checked the gloves and mouthguards of both sides on the spot, and after making sure that there was no problem, he began to explain some boxing instructions to the two fighters.

In the ring, the two fighters are still distinguished by the red and blue gloves that are common in the international martial arts world.

As the bell rings, the red fighter takes the lead in attacking, and when the distance between the two sides closes, the red fighter kicks forward with a chest kick that goes straight to his opponent's chest.

The BLU player reacted quickly, dodging his opponent's attack with a sideways turn, followed by a swing volley and a swift kick that hit the inside of the right calf of his opponent's footing leg.

With a crisp "pop", the BLU player's kick landed on the opponent's leg.

The red player received the blow and shook his body for a moment, but quickly regained his footing. As soon as he got his footing, he fended off two punches in quick succession, and immediately returned a high kick with his right leg to the head like a sweeping iron bar.

The blue fighter was already on guard, he quickly raised his left arm, firmly protected the left side of his head, and at the same time lifted his left knee, his body turned outward, guarding his ribs, and in an instant he had already made up for all the gaps on the left side of his body, leaving no chance for his opponent.

'Smack'

A clash of muscles came from the ring, and the red kick hit the outside of the blue arm's left arm without causing much damage.

The blue boxer quickly lowered his left leg, took a step back to the side, and after standing firm, his arms were steady, and his body began to move closer to the red boxer again.

Chen Sheng watched intently in the ring below, the strength of the two fighters is very close, and this fight is sure to be a fierce battle.

The Levar couple, who were sitting next to them, were completely captivated by this very different style of fighting, and the two kept exclaiming as the fighters in the ring moved, apparently they had never seen such frequent use of leg, elbow, and knee fights.

And all the audience on the scene also followed the movements of the boxers on the stage, kept shouting loudly, very distinctive, the shouts with the movements of the fighters one after another, instantly created the atmosphere of the scene is very hot, there are two areas in the infield are reserved for the supporters of the two fighters, these people not only shout with the movements of the boxers in the ring, but also continue to raise their arms to cheer for the fighters in the ring.

This kind of atmosphere created by the cooperation of the audience and the fighters made everyone in the audience quickly integrate into the fierce boxing match, and the atmosphere in the arena became more and more hot as the game progressed.

Seeing this atmosphere of the game, Chen Shengdi was also very interested, and while watching the game, he was also constantly watching the performances of the audience in the venue.

Seeing Chen Sheng's performance, Ah Ming explained:

"This kind of competition is unique to Muay Thai, especially the cooperation between the boxers and the spectators on the sidelines, and the spectators who often watch the Muay Thai match will take the initiative to cheer for the fighters, so that the fighters will have more motivation and desire to fight in the ring, and the audience can also participate in the boxing match, so that they can become a part of the boxing match, so that watching the boxing match is more enjoyable."

Chen Sheng looked at the performance of the surrounding audience, and indeed this strong sense of participation made every audience very excited, standing in their seats while watching the game, while shouting and cheering passionately.

As the first round of the ring drew to a close, the two fighters were hugging each other in the ring, their arms completely entangled, and they couldn't pull out to attack, so they swung their legs and began to use their hard knees to attack their opponents' abdomen and flanks.

Obviously, both fighters have a lot of experience in the game, and in the process of hugging each other, through physical contact, they can almost instantly sense the opponent's movements and the parts that the opponent is about to attack, so although both sides are constantly using the knee method to attack the opponent, this extremely close attack has little effect, it just consumes time.

When Chen Sheng saw this, he remembered what the gym manager said, in the Muay Thai match, if both sides are local Thai fighters, then the first three rounds are open for betting, and behind the audience is the betting window, which can facilitate gamblers to bet at any time, only the fourth and fifth rounds of the game are final, this is the real decisive round of local fighters.

Now the scene in the ring should be like this, both sides have not fully shown their own strength, just continue to test, kill time, and wait until the opponent's strength is almost touched, and the game has entered the last two rounds, both fighters will use their full strength to fight for victory, at that time it can be said that this game of Muay Thai has entered a real climax.

Of course, if the opponent is a foreigner, then the situation is completely different, and the foreigner fighter will attack with all his strength almost as soon as he comes up, so in these fights with foreigners, from the first round, the fight often immediately enters the climax.

The two fighters in the ring were quickly separated by the referees, but just as they were about to strike again, the bell rang just in time for the end of the first round, and the two men who heard the bell bumped their fists and immediately turned and walked back to their rest area.

The second and third rounds were as the coach had told Chen Sheng before, the fight was tepid, and although there were some wonderful shots, it was clear that neither fighter showed his true skills to fight to the death.

The first three rounds are supposed to be warm-up exercises, the real fight will start after the bell rings in the fourth round, and the audience understands this procedure, the first three rounds can allow them to gradually participate in the fight, and make a judgment based on the performance of the fighter, decide that they want to bet on that fighter, and then they can go to the later betting window to bet, and many viewers also very much approve of this way of playing.

All Muay Thai fighters understand this invisible rule, and no one wants to break it, after all, it is a rule that is beneficial to themselves, the organizers, and even the audience, and no one rashly tries to break it, otherwise it will be against the entire local Muay Thai community, and there will be no good fruit to eat.

Sure enough, as the bout entered the fourth and fifth rounds, the intensity of the fight suddenly began to increase, and both fighters began to use their ability to press the bottom of the box.

Although it was only two rounds and six minutes of the game, the two sides fought extremely fiercely, the two players in the rapid attack and defense, soon fought with injuries, the red boxer eyebrow bone was hit by the opponent's kick, was opened a tear, bleeding nonstop, the blue boxer was the forehead was brought by the opponent's elbow tip, opened a small opening, the same blood flowed all over the face, the ring was splashed with blood droplets.

The scene of the bloody battle between the two fighters immediately frightened the Leval couple, who covered their mouths with their hands in surprise, stared at the tragic fight in the ring with wide eyes, and looked at the fierce fight with fear on their faces.

However, this scene did not last long, the referee saw that the two fighters were bleeding, and quickly suspended the fight, and asked the two to go to the sidelines to stop the bleeding urgently, and then returned to the ring to fight.

As soon as the two fighters returned to the contest, the battle immediately became more intense, and until the end of the fifth round, the bout was fought in high-speed and intense battles.

After the referee announced the blue win, the fighter happily knelt in the middle of the ring, prayed, then stood up, thanked the crowd, and then withdrew from the ring.

The red player limped off the ring after the bout, and the incessant kicks during the match clearly took a toll on both of his legs.

However, both fighters have gained something, but the income of the winning side is much higher than that of the losing side, and the income of these fighters is still very good compared to the income level of many Thai people, which is one of the reasons why so many people devote themselves to learning Muay Thai every year.

The rest of the game in the evening was basically the same as this game, but the intensity was different.

It wasn't until the final heavyweight bout that a foreigner came into play, and his fight went to a climax from the start to the third round, when the black Brazilian fighter earned the final bout of the night by knocking out his Thai rival in the third round.

After the game, Chen Sheng and the three of them got up and went back to the hotel.

For today's Muay Thai matches, Chen Sheng can be said to have watched very much, and even a little unfinished, he is a little eager to try to compete in the ring, but he doesn't have to wait too long, soon he will be the main player in the ring, and other Muay Thai masters will stage a series of fights.
