Sumo Vs. Thai Boxing

Sumo as we all know is a Japanese sport, but according to The Associated Press sumo is more than a sport. It seems like a religion for Japan. Eveytime people talk about sumo, Japan will pop up in you mind, just like boxing, we're all thinks about Thailand. Also, both of sumo and boxing kinds of a fighting sport, it could make the player get hurt, such as nose breaking and bleeding on some part of the body. In addition, sumo has their simple rules to play for. The wreatler who touches the ground first beside soles of his feet, or who leaves the ring before the time is over will loses. Sumo will take place on a ring, called a 'dohyo' , which is made from clay and covered with sand. On the other hand, Thai boxing or Muaythai is has quite of many rules. There are rule for dressing, weighting and scoring. I will talk about only scoring. There are three judges in each match, at the end of round those judges will decide the score, if the round resulted in a draw (scores 10:10), a win by significant margin (10:9, 10:8). At the end of the match judges' socre will add up with the score in each round. If there are three diffirent votes (win, defeat, draw) the result at the end ill be draw. To sum up, there are similarly between sumo and thai boxing, both of them are tradition sport to their own country.
