There is no evidence of rules or regulations, and it is thought that boxers fought
without any official points system. So, they would fight until one dropped or gave
up, leaving the man standing as the obvious winner.
Bouts took place on open grounds, mostly in temple areas. Boxers wrapped
their hands and wrists in thread, wore a head band or mongkon, and an amulet or
pa-pra-jiat usually around their right arm.
