Cool documentary, I'm about half way through now.
The brain damage worries me about these little kids. On one hand, it's kind of cool and badass that these young kids train and are so disciplined. On the other hand, it's pretty fucked to have kids prize fighting and taking damage so young. And weight cutting for young kids is no good IMO. It's a shame that it is all about gambling and kids making money for their family to survive.
Roasting that kid in a hot car to shed more weight was pretty fucked up.

I bought my first tricycle with money I earned fighting in underground smokers.
It's better than factory work.
Maybe so...I probably don't want to know what factory work is like in Thailand.
It's a tough world out there for some folks.

The "Tricycle Smokers" were a low point in your fight career man. I'd just as soon forget they happened.
People aren't stupid just because they're poor.
Agreed. I am conflicted for the same reason.
Wish I had learned Muay Thai as a kid though....
I guess learning it in America as an adult was the next best thing? Or not.
