Murray to make Thai boxing debut !!

[malakas]

Andy Murray will face two of Thailand's top kickboxers after his first round match at the Thailand Open.
Murray, 19, will take on veteran Khaosai Galaxy, known as "the Thai Tyson", and Somluck Kamsing, who won an Olympic boxing gold medal in 1996.

"He has to learn to fight first, so I'll go easy on him, but tennis player or boxer, I won't be letting him win," said Somluck, now a singer and actor.

The Thailand Open takes place in Bangkok from 25 September to 1 October.

Andy should tag w/Brad when facing two kickboxers. Wonder what the WTA Bangkok Open has in store?
Natalie Dechy Gisela Dulko Jie Zheng Tamarine Tanasugarn Sania Mirza in a 5-way dance?

Brad Gilbert would kick butt Thai boxing, much like how he whipped Andy into shape.

That article does read strangely. I know he's been in conventional-boxing training, but he surely can't be actually fighting two top Thai boxers?! They'll snap his skinny legs in half.

Odd, it is his upper body that looks anemic compared to his legs IMHO. Like, he's no Ferrer but what tennis player's legs are cept Serena.
