Here's an interesting Match; Tea Kwon Do vs Muay Thai.
I won't spoil it, can you predict the winner?

At first I didn't, but as the bout goes on; one man just waits to pick his spot.

The it looks as though the TKD fighter is sparring still as if he is playing for points. Perhaps he should have trained to kick and follow through with those roundhouses to the head rather than placing for points?
You can't really conclude much from these style vs style fights as for every fight where Muay Thai might win, there are just as many where TKD win.

Looks like a boxer would've killed them both. Just saying. A beats b but b beats c which beats a.
 I didn't particularly care for the Muay Thai fighter... |

I agree, I've seen much better fights; as Danielle says, the TKD fighter didn't follow through his technique with any real power. And as you say, the Muay Thai fighter was wide open most of the bout. What I could see was the difference in mind set between them; one was more of a stylist at the start, the other just took it and used basic brute force. The knock out punch was on the button though.

I thought you Tae Kwon Do stylists might enjoy this one better;

There were a lot of times that the Muay Thai fighter got in close and the TKD fighter just got a little flustered. Props to the MT fighter for seeing where the TKD fighter was weaker and exploiting.

His kicks did look kind of snappy, instead of being for power, but overall, I thought he used them well.
The TKD stylist used his front leg for kicks really well, and his footwork kept him out of a lot of trouble. I could tell that his hands weren't nearly on par with the Thai fighter's, and I could also tell he didn't want to be standing anywhere close to the Thai stylist. His second fall down was more a result of the kick being off, as opposed to the strike by the Thai stylist, but that happens when you start jumping around and people jam you.
On a side note, this was the first full contact fight that I had seen a TKDer use consecutive kicks with some degree of success. But, perhaps a few well placed single kicks with more power would have served him better.
My two cents. Thanks for sharing it.
