Support buddy in Muay Thai competition : May-19

At my age, I would not have imagined going into the ring to spar with anyone.  Ok, in fact even when I was younger, I probably would not have done that too.  Personally, I thought such contact sports was dangerous and sometimes caused unnecessary harm to a perfectly healthy person.  Nevertheless, there would be people who were very passionate about 'fighting', and Boon Leong was one buddy I knew who was like that since young.  So at the age of 48, he still bravely embraced this contact sports and trained himself well for a 'Muay Thai fight' with the much younger one competitor (31 yo).  Last weekend, we went and supported him in a competition, it was not particularly pleasant to watch him kind of struggle during the fight but it was still very admirable and proud of him to be able to do such this at his age.  It was a truly inspirational fight which won him the best sportsmanship of that night!
