There is nothing wrong with fighting on the back foot in Muay Thai. That is part of the beauty of the sport, seeing beautiful defense. I think it is detrimental to the sport when the announcers always talk about fighting on the back foot as a negative thing and when the ref always warns the fighter to go forward.

Realmente não há problemas com tanto que você seja o claro ganhador do round. Caso a luta esteja equilibrada, isso poderá ser considerado fuga

Its for entertainment purposes. Aggressiveness should also be a judging criteria to encourage more action

I find that the judge scoring criteria does not encourage entertaining fight - they tend to favor those who fight on the back foot and throw round house kick - even when the kick was blocked. A better way to encourage more entertaining fights is to score high on damage. That's way you'll have more entertaining match.

While you're not wrong. Entertainment means different things to different people in the Muay Thai industry. If you find damage to be the most entertaining thing in Muay Thai, there is another market in that in ONE FC Muay Thai rules. Defensive tactics, winning the fight by not taking any damage, preserving body and brain health while inflicting damage to your opponent, frustrating them - these are all beautiful and entertaining in their own right.
