Muay Thai (ONE Championship)
Verdict
10-Point Must scoring (boxing-style); Judges weight: damage dealt, ring generalship, clean strikes, aggression, defense; Distinct from Thai-traditional scoring (which weights ring-walking, technique purity, dominance late in the fight); ONE's Westernized scoring favors knockout-attempting aggression
Why people argue about this
People often assume that scoring in ONE Championship's Muay Thai uses traditional Thai criteria, focusing on techniques like kicks, knees, elbows, and punches. However, they misunderstand when they see a system that emphasizes damage dealt, ring generalship, and aggression over these classic elements, leading to confusion about the fairness and relevance of such metrics in judging fights.
