WEBVTT

00:00:10.458 --> 00:00:12.208
IN A BOXING MATCH,

00:00:12.291 --> 00:00:14.958
THERE IS A REFEREE
AND THREE OFF-RING JUDGES.

00:00:15.041 --> 00:00:17.291
ALL OF THEM ARE TRAINED AND TESTED

00:00:17.375 --> 00:00:19.750
TO MEET THE STANDARDS SET
BY THE SPORTS AUTHORITY OF THAILAND.

00:00:19.833 --> 00:00:21.625
UPHOLDING THE RULES AND JUSTICE

00:00:21.708 --> 00:00:26.666
IS THE KEY DUTY OF A REFEREE.

00:00:28.708 --> 00:00:31.375
A REFEREE HAS THE AUTHORITY
TO GIVE BOXERS WARNINGS AND STOP THE BOUT

00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:34.041
WHEN BOXERS VIOLATE RULES
OR INTENTIONALLY HOLD THE FIGHT.

00:00:34.125 --> 00:00:37.041
BUT IF A REFEREE'S JUDGMENT GOES AGAINST
"THE MAJORITY OF THE BOXING GURUS,"

00:00:37.083 --> 00:00:41.500
HE MAY HAVE A CHANCE
OF GETTING HURT, INJURED, OR EVEN KILLED.

00:00:41.583 --> 00:00:46.250
GOES AGAINST
"THE MAJORITY OF THE BOXING GURUS"

00:00:46.291 --> 00:00:50.541
GOES AGAINST "THOSE WHO LOSE THEIR BETS
AS A RESULT"

00:00:51.416 --> 00:00:56.083
INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS

00:00:59.791 --> 00:01:02.208
Gamblers are the core
of the boxing industry at present.

00:01:02.291 --> 00:01:04.708
We have to admit
that they play a major role in it.

00:01:04.750 --> 00:01:07.750
Banning them is like taking
the heart out of the body.

00:01:07.875 --> 00:01:09.250
It will kill the industry.

00:01:10.083 --> 00:01:11.583
But it's been confirmed

00:01:11.666 --> 00:01:14.333
that 98 to 99 percent of boxing bettors

00:01:14.416 --> 00:01:17.458
always take when they win,
pay when they lose.

00:01:18.458 --> 00:01:19.833
And they keep their word.

00:01:43.916 --> 00:01:44.916
Yes, hello?

00:01:46.041 --> 00:01:47.250
Den Chaomeungphet?

00:01:48.875 --> 00:01:50.000
Yes, speaking.

00:01:53.041 --> 00:01:54.791
You're in the main event tomorrow.

00:01:57.291 --> 00:01:58.458
Throw the fight.

00:01:59.583 --> 00:02:00.625
What do you mean?

00:02:01.791 --> 00:02:03.333
200,000 baht.

00:02:06.500 --> 00:02:07.791
At the end of round four,

00:02:08.291 --> 00:02:09.541
throw the fight.

00:02:56.250 --> 00:02:58.250
Meanwhile here's
a tragic incident

00:02:58.333 --> 00:03:00.583
about boxing that shook
the entire industry in the country.

00:03:00.666 --> 00:03:01.583
Right.

00:03:01.625 --> 00:03:04.458
A very young
professional boxer, aged 13,

00:03:04.541 --> 00:03:08.333
has been reported to have received
many severe blows on the chin

00:03:08.416 --> 00:03:10.541
from his opponent during the match.

00:03:11.291 --> 00:03:14.250
As a result, the 13-year-old child boxer
was sent headfirst into the ground…

00:03:14.333 --> 00:03:16.041
WE'RE ALL THAI PEOPLE.
WHY DON'T WE JUST COMPROMISE?

00:03:16.125 --> 00:03:17.375
…and later pronounced dead.

00:03:17.916 --> 00:03:22.083
This has called for us to take another
look at the countries existing boxing law.

00:03:22.166 --> 00:03:22.333
Referring to the 1999 Boxing Act.

00:03:22.333 --> 00:03:22.375
The National Legislative Assembly
has proposed a draft bill

00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:23.541
to amend the Boxing Act.

00:03:23.666 --> 00:03:27.875
It especially emphasizes young boxers
to ensure child protection.

00:03:28.583 --> 00:03:30.416
Specifically, section 14 states

00:03:30.541 --> 00:03:33.875
that children under the age of 15
are not allowed to participate

00:03:33.916 --> 00:03:35.916
in professional boxing matches.

00:03:36.041 --> 00:03:38.791
To prevent the risk
of severe injuries or death.

00:03:38.875 --> 00:03:41.708
And those age 12 to 15 have
to be registered,

00:03:41.791 --> 00:03:45.833
and have their permission secured
from the registry in order to compete.

00:03:45.875 --> 00:03:47.833
Protective gears must be provided,

00:03:47.958 --> 00:03:51.166
and appropriate rules and regulations
must be maintained.

00:03:51.208 --> 00:03:55.000
That means the amendment
will ban children under the age of 12

00:03:55.083 --> 00:03:57.375
from participating
in professional matches.

00:03:57.458 --> 00:03:58.666
BOSS MANOP

00:03:58.750 --> 00:04:01.333
As for those between 12 and 15,
they must be granted permission

00:04:01.416 --> 00:04:03.291
and the protective gears are required.

00:04:10.916 --> 00:04:11.958
Yes? Hello?

00:04:13.750 --> 00:04:15.791
Hey, Wirat. Can we talk?

00:04:15.875 --> 00:04:16.708
Yes, sir.

00:04:17.791 --> 00:04:19.416
There's a major event tomorrow.

00:04:20.208 --> 00:04:21.083
Can you come?

00:04:22.125 --> 00:04:23.041
Sure.

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.166
You'll be the referee for that major bout.

00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.500
Oh, yeah? Thanks for that.

00:04:30.375 --> 00:04:31.291
But this time

00:04:32.333 --> 00:04:35.083
the big boss placed a huge bet on blue.

00:04:35.166 --> 00:04:38.041
So I need your help. Don't let me down.

00:04:39.333 --> 00:04:41.250
I'll wire the money to you now.

00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:58.958
YOU HAVE A NEW MESSAGE.

00:05:08.333 --> 00:05:13.583
YOUR ACCOUNT IS CREDITED
WITH THB 300,000. - THB 553,205.90.

00:07:01.625 --> 00:07:05.833
THE JUSTICE?

00:07:15.916 --> 00:07:17.333
Why are you in a hurry, Dad?

00:07:21.916 --> 00:07:23.333
I have a long schedule tonight.

00:07:23.833 --> 00:07:25.125
I won't have time to eat.

00:07:27.250 --> 00:07:28.083
Oh.

00:07:29.208 --> 00:07:31.291
Here. It's your favorite dish.

00:07:32.500 --> 00:07:33.708
You should eat more too.

00:07:33.791 --> 00:07:35.541
You have to work right after class, right?

00:07:45.500 --> 00:07:46.833
How's your mom, by the wy?

00:07:47.875 --> 00:07:48.875
She's doing fine.

00:07:50.166 --> 00:07:51.750
Goes to the hospital sometimes.

00:07:56.083 --> 00:07:57.041
The hospital?

00:07:58.041 --> 00:07:58.958
Is she all right?

00:08:01.041 --> 00:08:02.708
Old people sometimes get sick.

00:08:02.750 --> 00:08:03.625
Hmm.

00:08:35.916 --> 00:08:36.750
Oh, here.

00:08:38.750 --> 00:08:39.583
Take it.

00:08:40.708 --> 00:08:42.125
It's for your tuition fees.

00:08:43.208 --> 00:08:44.750
You can keep the rest yourself.

00:08:45.250 --> 00:08:47.291
And pay the rest of it
for your mom's rent.

00:08:50.333 --> 00:08:51.541
Just take it.

00:09:09.583 --> 00:09:10.791
Where did you get this money?

00:09:12.291 --> 00:09:13.333
Take it. It's yours.

00:09:14.958 --> 00:09:16.291
I worked and earned it.

00:09:25.458 --> 00:09:27.375
Don't tell me you bet on boxing again?

00:09:42.750 --> 00:09:45.458
When are you going to stop
with this horrible business?

00:09:46.208 --> 00:09:48.666
This was the reason
why you and mom separated.

00:09:54.583 --> 00:09:56.250
And you know I hate it, remember?

00:09:57.875 --> 00:09:59.708
But you just wouldn't stop doing it.

00:10:01.541 --> 00:10:03.625
You know what? I thought you changed, Dad.

00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:10.750
Isn't it because of this dirty money
that our family is broken?

00:10:18.458 --> 00:10:20.125
Nan, listen to me.

00:10:20.916 --> 00:10:21.916
Just take the money.

00:10:23.041 --> 00:10:25.791
You don't have to struggle.
And your mom is also sick.

00:10:25.833 --> 00:10:27.291
Just take this, please.

00:10:29.833 --> 00:10:31.125
I won't struggle?

00:10:34.250 --> 00:10:36.541
You actually think this money
will make me happy?

00:10:36.583 --> 00:10:38.208
You think my mom will be happy?

00:10:45.166 --> 00:10:46.583
I was hoping that

00:10:48.916 --> 00:10:51.000
if you could only get a different job,

00:10:51.083 --> 00:10:52.916
we could all go back to how we were.

00:11:00.958 --> 00:11:02.875
Because I miss you terribly, Dad.

00:11:07.916 --> 00:11:09.958
You can have your stupid money back.

00:11:11.166 --> 00:11:12.375
I don't want it.

00:11:37.833 --> 00:11:40.000
I'm Boat, Nattadech Vachirarattanawong,

00:11:40.125 --> 00:11:42.083
the promoter of Petchyindee Fights,

00:11:42.208 --> 00:11:44.333
and the head of Petchyindee Academy.

00:11:45.916 --> 00:11:50.541
A promoter organizes the fights
and does the matching for boxing events.

00:11:50.625 --> 00:11:53.166
NATTADECH VACHIRARATTANAWONG,
MUAY THAI PROMOTER

00:11:53.250 --> 00:11:54.500
To be a successful promoter,

00:11:54.583 --> 00:11:57.875
you have to arrange bouts
that will surely attract the audience.

00:11:58.916 --> 00:12:01.291
You have to match boxers
from two training camps

00:12:01.375 --> 00:12:05.000
who you think will guarantee
a very entertaining fight in the ring.

00:12:05.500 --> 00:12:09.208
And also keep the boxing fans
always happy and anticipating

00:12:09.291 --> 00:12:12.458
because a promoter makes money
basically from sponsorships

00:12:12.541 --> 00:12:15.208
and the tickets sold
to everyone who watches the bouts.

00:12:33.375 --> 00:12:34.375
Hey, hurry up.

00:12:37.041 --> 00:12:38.916
Come on now. On the scale.

00:12:47.916 --> 00:12:48.750
Hey.

00:12:49.625 --> 00:12:50.458
Step on.

00:13:02.250 --> 00:13:04.083
65.8 kilograms.

00:13:04.166 --> 00:13:07.625
145 pounds. Den Chaomeungphet.

00:13:07.708 --> 00:13:08.541
Passed.

00:13:14.416 --> 00:13:17.833
65.4 kilograms. 145 pounds.

00:13:18.541 --> 00:13:21.041
Eakanan S. Wichaithong.

00:13:21.166 --> 00:13:22.000
Qualified.

00:13:22.041 --> 00:13:25.208
There will be an extra 400,000
for the main fight.

00:13:26.708 --> 00:13:29.541
I could say that gambling
has been a big part of Muay Thai

00:13:29.583 --> 00:13:32.250
for many decades
ever since our parents generation.

00:13:32.333 --> 00:13:33.166
Hmm.

00:13:33.250 --> 00:13:36.250
It has been keeping
Muay Thai alive up till present.

00:13:36.750 --> 00:13:39.625
I believe the downside is Muay Thai
is not gonna last very long

00:13:39.708 --> 00:13:41.625
if it relies on gambling.

00:13:44.416 --> 00:13:45.458
Let's go, Eak.

00:13:49.166 --> 00:13:50.833
A sport is a sport.

00:13:50.875 --> 00:13:53.458
But the moment gambling is involved
in any sport,

00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:56.958
theres a high probability that it will
totally corrupt any sports industry

00:13:57.041 --> 00:13:58.958
and it will cause it to deteriorate.

00:14:16.708 --> 00:14:18.208
Why are you eating so fast, Den?

00:14:20.208 --> 00:14:21.333
I'm really hungry.

00:14:49.166 --> 00:14:50.666
Which match are you betting on?

00:14:51.416 --> 00:14:53.000
The fifth one and the main one.

00:14:53.500 --> 00:14:54.500
Here.

00:14:57.500 --> 00:14:59.541
The rate of the major bout is quite high.

00:15:24.958 --> 00:15:25.791
Blue.

00:15:44.750 --> 00:15:45.583
Yes, sir.

00:15:47.625 --> 00:15:49.250
Is everything going great?

00:15:51.166 --> 00:15:52.416
Looks good so far.

00:15:53.791 --> 00:15:55.833
You saw the amount I transferred, right?

00:15:56.416 --> 00:15:57.291
Do me a favor.

00:15:58.500 --> 00:16:01.125
In the main event, don't let blue lose.

00:16:02.125 --> 00:16:03.458
I put a lot on him.

00:16:05.291 --> 00:16:06.125
Sure.

00:16:07.208 --> 00:16:08.125
That's a deal, then.

00:16:09.666 --> 00:16:10.833
If anything goes wrong,

00:16:12.708 --> 00:16:16.083
you won't be the only one…
who'll get in trouble.

00:16:28.291 --> 00:16:29.416
Okay, sure.

00:16:30.875 --> 00:16:32.250
Would you like more drinks?

00:16:32.333 --> 00:16:33.541
No, thanks. We're good.

00:16:33.625 --> 00:16:35.041
That's my favorite.

00:16:35.125 --> 00:16:36.125
All right.

00:16:37.541 --> 00:16:39.166
Yeah, this is fo table seven.

00:17:31.083 --> 00:17:33.375
Muay Thai is also a sport
that is regulated

00:17:33.458 --> 00:17:35.333
by the Sports Authority of Thailand.

00:17:36.125 --> 00:17:39.208
But there's a big difference
between that and soccer.

00:17:39.708 --> 00:17:42.666
While there are certified
national referees for soccer,

00:17:43.541 --> 00:17:46.458
Muay Thai referees are different
in each stage and match

00:17:47.708 --> 00:17:50.708
as they are individually recruited
by the promoter of each bout.

00:17:51.208 --> 00:17:53.916
Of course I can say that chances are

00:17:54.041 --> 00:17:56.250
there are going to be conflicts
of interest in every game

00:17:56.291 --> 00:17:57.625
depending upon the results.

00:18:01.916 --> 00:18:03.250
For the main event, Wirat,

00:18:03.875 --> 00:18:05.458
You're going to be the referee.

00:18:05.583 --> 00:18:07.458
As for Dul, Sorn, and Chart,

00:18:07.583 --> 00:18:10.125
you three will be the judges, understood?

00:18:10.166 --> 00:18:11.166
Yes, sir.

00:18:16.958 --> 00:18:19.458
Okay, in the main event,
red is gonna do well.

00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:20.625
He's promising.

00:18:21.041 --> 00:18:22.916
I'm sure there's gonna
be a lot of betters today.

00:18:23.625 --> 00:18:25.875
-Yeah.
-They're putting in a lot of money.

00:18:25.958 --> 00:18:27.291
Oh yeah. I'm pretty sure.

00:18:47.875 --> 00:18:51.416
The referees are…
just like us human beings.

00:18:52.041 --> 00:18:53.458
They're not better than us.

00:18:54.125 --> 00:18:56.583
But people always accept
whatever they say.

00:18:57.583 --> 00:18:59.208
It's strange but true.

00:18:59.333 --> 00:19:02.916
For one to be successful in Muay Thai,
or in whatever industry,

00:19:03.041 --> 00:19:04.416
I have to tell you honestly,

00:19:04.958 --> 00:19:06.583
one has to be egotistic,

00:19:07.583 --> 00:19:08.750
or even cruel in nature.

00:19:08.791 --> 00:19:10.250
SURAPOL NARATRIKUL, FORMER PROMOTER

00:19:10.375 --> 00:19:14.416
What I mean by being cruel is
that he will not help the others.

00:19:15.625 --> 00:19:18.500
He will only do things
that will benefit himself

00:19:18.625 --> 00:19:19.750
and his crew.

00:19:22.208 --> 00:19:25.833
I'm Lieutenant Colonel
Sudhichai Chokekijchai, MD.

00:19:26.833 --> 00:19:31.416
I personally started to get interested
in Muay Thai, our national martial arts,

00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:35.375
as early as when I was still
a student in medical school.

00:19:36.041 --> 00:19:39.000
At first, I was just a spectator
a mere enthusiast on the sport.

00:19:39.083 --> 00:19:40.750
SUDHICHAI CHOKEKIJCHAI, RINGSIDE PHYSICIAN

00:19:40.833 --> 00:19:44.291
But after that,
an acquaintance had suggested

00:19:44.833 --> 00:19:47.833
that I step into the game.

00:19:47.916 --> 00:19:51.000
So I had a chance to get involved
in supporting Muay Thai

00:19:51.083 --> 00:19:52.708
and own a boxing training camp.

00:19:53.208 --> 00:19:57.041
After a while, people in
the Muay Thai industry started to notice

00:19:57.125 --> 00:20:00.750
and realize that I have a background
in the medical field.

00:20:00.875 --> 00:20:04.041
So they asked me to take up
the role as a ringside physician,

00:20:04.166 --> 00:20:05.541
and that's what I did.

00:20:11.708 --> 00:20:13.833
S. WICHAITHONG

00:20:51.875 --> 00:20:54.333
CHAOMEUNGPHET

00:20:55.833 --> 00:20:59.208
From my experience
in the boxing world,

00:20:59.291 --> 00:21:02.125
I've witnessed some matches
that were fixed from the start.

00:21:02.208 --> 00:21:05.333
Like, most of the time, the boxer
who intended to throw the fight

00:21:05.416 --> 00:21:07.208
would show some signs during the match

00:21:07.291 --> 00:21:10.041
or wouldn't even attack his opponent
as much as he should.

00:21:10.833 --> 00:21:14.333
Or sometimes, he would just let himself
get struck by the other contender.

00:21:14.375 --> 00:21:16.250
There are many ways to fix a fight.

00:21:16.333 --> 00:21:18.250
For example, if a boxer is in debt,

00:21:18.333 --> 00:21:20.666
he'll take the money
to throw the fight he has.

00:21:20.750 --> 00:21:22.583
WICHAI YASARA, PROVINCIAL PROMOTER
AND OWNER OF BOXING CAMP

00:21:22.666 --> 00:21:25.875
When he gets a 10,000 prize, his boss will
take half and leave him with the rest.

00:21:25.958 --> 00:21:29.458
But if he throws a fight,
he gets more all to himself.

00:21:30.458 --> 00:21:31.583
No need to split it.

00:21:32.833 --> 00:21:34.958
But there's one more way to throw a fight.

00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:38.291
A boxer is not paid directly
to intentionally lose.

00:21:46.708 --> 00:21:47.625
Here, drink this.

00:22:06.208 --> 00:22:08.958
From my experience
as a ringside physician,

00:22:09.041 --> 00:22:10.958
there were cases
where boxers were drugged.

00:22:11.583 --> 00:22:15.041
It is safe to say that the person
who has the best opportunity

00:22:15.125 --> 00:22:17.333
or is most likely to drug a boxer,

00:22:17.375 --> 00:22:20.041
is someone really close
to the boxer himself.

00:22:20.541 --> 00:22:22.375
They can drug a boxer anytime.

00:22:23.250 --> 00:22:24.750
Right before the boxer fights,

00:22:25.250 --> 00:22:28.500
he drinks anything that his staff
gives him without any question.

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:31.708
It's set up. They put stuff there.

00:22:55.333 --> 00:22:56.166
How was it?

00:22:57.125 --> 00:22:58.416
It went just as planned.

00:22:58.500 --> 00:23:00.333
I had them bet 100,000 for blue.

00:23:00.416 --> 00:23:02.750
But right now, red keeps pushing the odds.

00:23:02.833 --> 00:23:03.833
Good.

00:23:04.458 --> 00:23:05.416
Keep it that way.

00:23:06.541 --> 00:23:07.833
Watch out for blue too.

00:23:09.500 --> 00:23:11.583
I guess the real reason

00:23:11.666 --> 00:23:14.875
why boxers are paid to throw a fight
or are being drugged

00:23:14.958 --> 00:23:17.791
is because of the benefit
that results from it.

00:23:17.875 --> 00:23:21.833
If you trace back to the root, you can
find that it's none other than gambling.

00:23:21.916 --> 00:23:25.041
I personally think it's fine
to gamble and bet on boxing.

00:23:25.166 --> 00:23:30.416
But when it gets really out of hand,
or to the point where winning or losing

00:23:30.541 --> 00:23:34.416
is so crucial that people get corrupted
and start to come up

00:23:34.541 --> 00:23:37.500
with bad ideas to play dirty to win a bet,

00:23:37.583 --> 00:23:42.125
it will inevitably lead to boxers getting
drugged and then throwing their fight.

00:23:50.208 --> 00:23:53.041
You know this, right?
This morning, during the weigh-in,

00:23:53.166 --> 00:23:54.916
the odds were in red's favor. It was 3/2.

00:23:55.041 --> 00:23:56.583
But now it's 7/4.

00:23:58.333 --> 00:23:59.958
Someone's manipulating it.

00:24:00.833 --> 00:24:02.791
So, who's selling the story?

00:24:11.750 --> 00:24:14.083
Hey, Kom, do we go for this match?

00:24:14.166 --> 00:24:15.875
They set it at 9/2.

00:24:15.958 --> 00:24:17.500
Sure, place it.

00:24:17.583 --> 00:24:19.291
Yes. Yes, I will.

00:24:38.916 --> 00:24:40.666
That's exactly the reason why

00:24:40.750 --> 00:24:43.583
we can never get past
the corruption in this industry.

00:24:44.416 --> 00:24:46.958
There are deals and profits
to be made everywhere,

00:24:47.625 --> 00:24:49.750
whether between the stadium owner
and the promoter,

00:24:49.791 --> 00:24:50.958
the promoter and the referee,

00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:52.666
and the referee and the stadium owner,

00:24:52.791 --> 00:24:54.333
or even the referee and the fans.

00:24:54.375 --> 00:24:55.791
They all benefit from a deal.

00:25:03.708 --> 00:25:05.208
Do your best, both of you.

00:25:05.291 --> 00:25:06.458
Let's have a clean fight.

00:25:06.541 --> 00:25:10.416
No foul play at any point. And you must
obey what I tell you, understand?

00:25:10.500 --> 00:25:11.416
Good luck.

00:25:19.708 --> 00:25:22.416
May the gods protect you
and grant you victory.

00:25:22.500 --> 00:25:24.708
Yeah, yeah. I knew it. I knew it.

00:25:27.458 --> 00:25:29.125
-Whoo!
-Yeah!

00:25:31.875 --> 00:25:32.750
Come forward.

00:25:35.708 --> 00:25:36.541
Round one.

00:25:37.333 --> 00:25:38.208
Fight!

00:25:44.458 --> 00:25:45.625
Come on. Hurry.

00:25:45.750 --> 00:25:46.625
Fight!

00:25:59.000 --> 00:25:59.958
Fight!

00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:02.791
I have to say
boxing referees really are something.

00:26:02.833 --> 00:26:05.166
Because we make judgments every second.

00:26:05.208 --> 00:26:06.666
WANCHAI PONGSRI, BOXING REFEREE

00:26:06.708 --> 00:26:07.916
To stop,

00:26:08.333 --> 00:26:09.291
break,

00:26:09.375 --> 00:26:10.250
disqualify.

00:26:10.750 --> 00:26:13.916
Do we disqualify them
because they're not fighting or foul play?

00:26:14.416 --> 00:26:18.625
Or do we or do we not count a boxer
who's just knocked down?

00:26:18.708 --> 00:26:21.625
Everything has to be decided
within just one or two seconds.

00:26:21.708 --> 00:26:24.875
No investigation. No witness hearing.
Nothing at all.

00:26:25.375 --> 00:26:26.708
We have to make the call.

00:26:26.791 --> 00:26:29.041
You know what I like
the most about boxing referees?

00:26:29.125 --> 00:26:30.208
They're fast thinking,

00:26:31.833 --> 00:26:34.333
smart, tactful,
and quick to make decisions.

00:26:34.875 --> 00:26:37.083
Because otherwise, there will be disputes.

00:26:40.291 --> 00:26:42.375
Hey! Come on! Fight back!

00:26:47.541 --> 00:26:48.750
The fight's just starting.

00:26:48.875 --> 00:26:50.250
They barely touched each other.

00:26:50.291 --> 00:26:51.291
They're going in hard.

00:27:09.833 --> 00:27:11.333
There might be odd behaviors,

00:27:11.458 --> 00:27:13.375
such as boxers
just running around the ring

00:27:14.125 --> 00:27:14.958
since round one.

00:27:15.041 --> 00:27:16.958
Well, explaining this is not that simple.

00:27:17.041 --> 00:27:18.208
I can go on all night.

00:27:18.291 --> 00:27:21.416
But roughly speaking,
you can see boxers holding back,

00:27:21.958 --> 00:27:23.250
punching lightly.

00:27:23.291 --> 00:27:25.291
You can tell from how he fights.

00:27:25.375 --> 00:27:28.625
Like he's known to be a brawler,
but now he rarely throws his punches

00:27:28.708 --> 00:27:31.291
and only uses his knees.

00:27:31.333 --> 00:27:32.375
That's a sign.

00:27:32.458 --> 00:27:33.500
You'll then realize

00:27:34.375 --> 00:27:35.500
something's not right.

00:27:38.041 --> 00:27:40.958
SAMING KAO, BOXING CRITIC

00:27:41.458 --> 00:27:42.500
It's usual.

00:27:43.708 --> 00:27:45.291
Drugging their own boxers.

00:27:46.416 --> 00:27:48.208
Dealing with big bettors.

00:27:48.291 --> 00:27:50.916
The big bettors manipulate
the smaller one to bet more.

00:27:51.416 --> 00:27:53.250
But most importantly, don't forget,

00:27:53.750 --> 00:27:55.833
there's no secret in this world.

00:27:55.875 --> 00:27:57.875
Let alone in any boxing stadium.

00:27:58.416 --> 00:28:00.458
If a boxer takes money to throw a fight,

00:28:01.083 --> 00:28:03.750
he can never let his trainer
find out about it.

00:28:03.875 --> 00:28:06.958
Otherwise, the trainer
won't let him fight.

00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:08.958
That's it. He'll get withdrawn.

00:28:09.083 --> 00:28:10.291
If he agrees to throw it.

00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:15.875
Now, fight!

00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:18.333
Hey! Use your damn leg!

00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:35.958
Damn, man! Red is looking good!

00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:38.000
Now, fight!

00:28:47.541 --> 00:28:48.875
Move forward! Go!

00:29:10.916 --> 00:29:12.416
Stop! Break!

00:29:13.291 --> 00:29:14.125
Fight!

00:29:20.250 --> 00:29:22.666
-His form is * great.
-I told you.

00:29:23.875 --> 00:29:24.708
Stop!

00:29:47.500 --> 00:29:49.875
You have to keep attacking.
Knock him down.

00:29:49.958 --> 00:29:51.458
Keep it going. He won't last long.

00:29:51.541 --> 00:29:52.791
-Got it?
-Yes, coach.

00:30:01.125 --> 00:30:02.375
You're holding back a lot.

00:30:03.166 --> 00:30:04.375
Throw more punches.

00:30:04.500 --> 00:30:07.000
Right now, most are betting on red.

00:30:07.041 --> 00:30:10.166
In round two, start attacking
and use your kicks more.

00:30:10.250 --> 00:30:11.916
You're bigger than him, okay?

00:30:16.333 --> 00:30:17.333
[bell ringing

00:30:23.625 --> 00:30:24.541
Round two.

00:30:25.458 --> 00:30:27.000
Fight!

00:30:31.916 --> 00:30:32.750
Fight!

00:30:49.083 --> 00:30:49.916
Fight!

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:50.833
Go, kid.

00:31:00.875 --> 00:31:01.958
Break. Break!

00:31:02.875 --> 00:31:04.041
Hey, stop!

00:31:04.125 --> 00:31:06.666
Hey! The ropes, the ropes, the ropes!
Referee, the ropes!

00:31:08.541 --> 00:31:11.625
The referee plays the biggest role
in cheating.

00:31:11.708 --> 00:31:14.333
They do it by accepting money
from the bettors.

00:31:15.208 --> 00:31:18.583
Sometimes big bettors pay
the referee monthly or yearly.

00:31:19.083 --> 00:31:20.916
Like, if red is about to score,

00:31:21.041 --> 00:31:24.041
the referee breaks them
after one strike so he can't.

00:31:32.791 --> 00:31:34.666
-What the hell was that?
-Fight!

00:31:38.625 --> 00:31:40.833
The worst kind of referee
is the crooked one.

00:31:41.416 --> 00:31:43.208
I confirm there's no such thing.

00:31:44.166 --> 00:31:46.375
Well, I never had anyone coming to me,

00:31:47.083 --> 00:31:50.541
asking me to help some…
bettors fix a fight.

00:31:51.333 --> 00:31:53.500
Come on. It's already hard
for us to survive.

00:31:53.583 --> 00:31:56.750
But then I…
I can't speak for others. I can't confirm

00:31:57.583 --> 00:31:58.583
if what you heard…

00:32:00.208 --> 00:32:01.375
is true or not.

00:32:02.208 --> 00:32:04.250
I'll leave it up to you
to make a conclusion.

00:32:19.041 --> 00:32:21.666
Use your kicks!
You better stop * around!

00:32:21.708 --> 00:32:23.583
Kick! Kick him!

00:32:26.500 --> 00:32:27.750
Fight!

00:32:30.833 --> 00:32:32.583
Good! Good!

00:32:40.958 --> 00:32:41.791
Get up!

00:32:43.666 --> 00:32:44.541
Yeah. Let's go.

00:32:44.666 --> 00:32:47.166
Red, punch him. Come on!

00:33:03.916 --> 00:33:05.708
Good! Good!

00:33:09.541 --> 00:33:10.666
You ask me,

00:33:10.750 --> 00:33:14.208
what if a boxer was drugged
while the other was paid to throw a fight?

00:33:15.583 --> 00:33:17.083
That's a tricky question.

00:33:17.583 --> 00:33:18.875
It's hard to answer that.

00:33:18.958 --> 00:33:20.375
It's a tough nut to crack.

00:33:21.625 --> 00:33:22.958
If that's really the case,

00:33:23.708 --> 00:33:24.708
then I have to ask.

00:33:25.958 --> 00:33:27.708
Has the drug taken effect yet?

00:33:37.416 --> 00:33:40.625
Certainly one
of the symptoms is frequent urination.

00:33:41.125 --> 00:33:45.041
Usually, you won't see it happening
in the ring during the fight itself.

00:33:45.166 --> 00:33:47.500
The symptoms usually
starts showing before the fight.

00:33:47.625 --> 00:33:51.750
That particular drug that
causes frequent urination in the boxer

00:33:51.750 --> 00:33:53.458
will weaken him

00:33:53.541 --> 00:33:56.791
and reduce his ability to compete
by causing dehydration.

00:33:56.875 --> 00:33:59.875
His body will lose water
and essential electrolytes.

00:34:00.458 --> 00:34:03.375
After the drug has taken effect,
the boxer weakens.

00:34:04.083 --> 00:34:07.083
He begins to lose his confidence,
he falls down easily.

00:34:08.208 --> 00:34:09.625
Then the odds are reversed.

00:34:17.375 --> 00:34:19.083
Hey, what's wrong with you?

00:34:19.583 --> 00:34:21.166
Are you worn out, huh?

00:34:21.250 --> 00:34:22.750
You have to pull yourself together.

00:34:22.833 --> 00:34:25.791
Sway and kick. Sway and punch.
Remember? You hear me?

00:34:28.041 --> 00:34:29.458
I really need to pee.

00:34:31.208 --> 00:34:32.750
What? Right * now?

00:34:33.375 --> 00:34:36.083
-Can you hold on for a while?
-Yeah, I can.

00:34:36.208 --> 00:34:37.208
Okay.

00:34:38.083 --> 00:34:39.083
Hang in there.

00:34:43.625 --> 00:34:45.958
What the hell was that? I saw it?

00:34:47.125 --> 00:34:48.916
Why didn't you punch him? Huh?

00:34:49.958 --> 00:34:51.833
When you get him, punch him.

00:34:51.875 --> 00:34:55.291
Throw the first punch.
What the * were you waiting for? What?

00:34:56.875 --> 00:34:59.833
Right now, your odds are equal again.

00:35:02.458 --> 00:35:04.250
Attack more. Throw a punch.

00:35:05.291 --> 00:35:06.916
Strike first. Use your kicks.

00:35:07.541 --> 00:35:08.875
Fight as you were trained.

00:35:09.500 --> 00:35:11.166
You hear me?

00:35:28.625 --> 00:35:29.708
Seconds out!

00:35:30.791 --> 00:35:31.625
Round three.

00:35:34.875 --> 00:35:36.791
Fight!

00:35:39.083 --> 00:35:41.250
The odds are equal,
but they're leaning towards blue.

00:35:41.375 --> 00:35:42.583
Fight, fight, fight!

00:36:08.125 --> 00:36:10.916
Hey, go for it! Go for it! Go! Go!

00:36:34.041 --> 00:36:35.041
Yeah!

00:36:42.500 --> 00:36:45.208
Red's down! Red's down! Red's down!
Hey, red is down! Good!

00:36:48.916 --> 00:36:49.916
Come on!

00:36:51.708 --> 00:36:52.541
Fight!

00:36:54.625 --> 00:36:57.166
-Keep fighting! Keep fighting!
-Attack him! Attack!

00:37:12.458 --> 00:37:13.791
Get closer. Closer dammit.

00:37:13.875 --> 00:37:16.125
Just do it! Closer! Yes, closer!

00:37:17.333 --> 00:37:19.791
Hey, red's already exhausted! Finish him!

00:37:29.375 --> 00:37:30.208
One!

00:37:30.708 --> 00:37:31.541
Two!

00:37:32.041 --> 00:37:32.875
Three!

00:37:33.375 --> 00:37:34.500
Four!

00:37:35.166 --> 00:37:36.166
Five!

00:37:36.250 --> 00:37:38.708
-Red! Red! Red! Red!
-Six!

00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:41.916
Red, I'll pay you 40,000 extra! 40,000!

00:37:42.500 --> 00:37:44.375
Seven! Eight!

00:37:45.041 --> 00:37:45.875
All right!

00:37:46.666 --> 00:37:47.500
Fight!

00:37:50.416 --> 00:37:52.833
What are you waiting for? Finish him!

00:38:04.458 --> 00:38:05.458
Stop!

00:38:06.291 --> 00:38:07.125
Break!

00:38:18.875 --> 00:38:20.500
S. WICHAITHONG

00:38:22.125 --> 00:38:26.083
They won't drug a boxer
to the point that he can't fight anymore.

00:38:26.875 --> 00:38:29.208
They'll only use a small dose
on him instead.

00:38:29.708 --> 00:38:33.000
Because it won't benefit anyone
if the boxer can't compete.

00:38:34.375 --> 00:38:36.583
What they actually want is for that boxer

00:38:36.666 --> 00:38:38.666
to get into the ring and fight

00:38:38.750 --> 00:38:40.833
with the drug unnoticed.

00:38:40.916 --> 00:38:43.916
And lastly, without being able
to defend himself well enough.

00:38:52.416 --> 00:38:54.208
Damn, I need to pee.

00:38:54.250 --> 00:38:56.083
I can't hold it.

00:39:06.208 --> 00:39:07.708
Why didn't you knock him out?

00:39:08.208 --> 00:39:09.791
He's done with a few punches.

00:39:17.458 --> 00:39:19.041
Fifty thousand is too little.

00:39:22.125 --> 00:39:23.208
I'm going with blue.

00:39:26.083 --> 00:39:27.791
Five hundred thousand, are you in?

00:39:30.625 --> 00:39:32.041
I really need to pee.

00:39:34.041 --> 00:39:36.666
Do it right here. Just pee here. Come on.

00:39:37.958 --> 00:39:39.916
For the next round, raise your hand.

00:39:40.416 --> 00:39:41.625
Keep your guard up.

00:39:42.083 --> 00:39:43.333
We'll win in no time.

00:39:43.416 --> 00:39:44.666
Just hang in there!

00:40:07.833 --> 00:40:10.166
All right, you're betting on red?
Good. Good.

00:40:10.291 --> 00:40:11.833
Let's check on him, man.

00:40:11.875 --> 00:40:14.208
All right. You too? It's clear. All right.

00:40:17.541 --> 00:40:19.375
Hey, come on, I'm switching.

00:40:19.416 --> 00:40:21.833
Yeah, yeah, yeah. A thousand.

00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:52.500
There are good
and bad referees in boxing.

00:40:52.583 --> 00:40:55.083
It won't be fair to say
they're all crooked.

00:40:56.333 --> 00:40:57.541
Are you all right?

00:41:03.708 --> 00:41:05.291
Yeah. I can do it.

00:41:11.125 --> 00:41:14.291
We decide with our feelings,
not with a computer program.

00:41:14.791 --> 00:41:17.833
There's controversy surrounding
the word "justice" or "fairness."

00:41:17.875 --> 00:41:19.375
Who should determine what's fair?

00:41:20.833 --> 00:41:21.875
Is it the audience?

00:41:22.958 --> 00:41:24.541
Or the rules and regulations?

00:41:25.625 --> 00:41:28.000
Or should we base it
on the view of the referee?

00:41:40.958 --> 00:41:42.208
Fight!

00:41:55.416 --> 00:41:57.666
You * idiot! Use your brain!

00:42:12.250 --> 00:42:14.500
Go in! Go in! Punch! Punch!

00:42:20.333 --> 00:42:21.208
Kick him!

00:42:21.291 --> 00:42:22.333
-Hey, Phat.
-What?

00:42:22.375 --> 00:42:24.750
The odds for blue are going strong.
You should hedge your bet.

00:42:24.875 --> 00:42:25.708
Leave me alone.

00:42:38.875 --> 00:42:41.458
Every boxer in the ring
is a fighter.

00:42:41.541 --> 00:42:44.916
So isn't it pitiful that some
of them get drugged just like that?

00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:47.708
The drugged boxer is
drained and shattered.

00:42:47.791 --> 00:42:49.833
Don't forget that the drug
could induce heart failure.

00:42:49.916 --> 00:42:52.458
Could die from a heart attack
during the fight.

00:42:52.541 --> 00:42:54.041
Yeah! It's over! It's over!

00:42:54.625 --> 00:42:56.666
It's over! It's over! All right!

00:43:08.583 --> 00:43:09.416
Five!

00:43:09.958 --> 00:43:12.041
Six! You okay? Seven!

00:43:12.916 --> 00:43:13.750
I can do it.

00:43:13.791 --> 00:43:14.625
Eight!

00:43:16.750 --> 00:43:18.125
Give me a chance.

00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:21.166
I beg you!

00:43:25.041 --> 00:43:26.708
If you could get a different job,

00:43:26.833 --> 00:43:28.666
we could all go back to how we were.

00:43:29.541 --> 00:43:31.375
I beg you!

00:43:31.500 --> 00:43:33.500
Because I miss you terribly, Dad.

00:43:39.250 --> 00:43:40.791
Come on! Fight!

00:43:40.875 --> 00:43:42.083
Yes! Yes!

00:43:43.083 --> 00:43:44.416
Hey, what the *?

00:44:02.625 --> 00:44:03.458
Stop!

00:44:03.541 --> 00:44:04.708
Break!

00:44:05.750 --> 00:44:06.750
Fight!

00:44:06.833 --> 00:44:09.000
Hey, he's done already! Come on!

00:44:31.625 --> 00:44:34.583
You *!
The fight is * over!

00:44:34.708 --> 00:44:36.708
-How could you let him continue?
-Keep going!

00:44:36.750 --> 00:44:38.875
-Yes! Yes! Keep fighting!
-Good! Good! Keep it up!

00:45:34.666 --> 00:45:38.500
*!
*! I'll * get you!

00:45:38.541 --> 00:45:40.375
* ! I'll * you up!

00:45:40.416 --> 00:45:41.875
-You *!
-What's his problem?

00:45:41.916 --> 00:45:43.708
-What's going on?
-Do you how how to do your job?

00:45:43.750 --> 00:45:44.875
How could you let him keep going?

00:45:44.916 --> 00:45:46.666
No way! It was clearly a knockout!

00:45:46.708 --> 00:45:48.208
What more do you want?
It's a knockout.

00:45:48.250 --> 00:45:50.583
-You lost a long time ago!
-Don't be a sore loser!

00:46:12.500 --> 00:46:14.625
Why did you let red go on?

00:46:15.291 --> 00:46:16.291
I'm so sorry.

00:46:16.375 --> 00:46:18.166
I'll pay you back. I promise you.

00:46:18.666 --> 00:46:20.750
You think you can afford
to pay us back, huh?

00:46:20.833 --> 00:46:23.583
Everyone's now in deep shit,
and it's because of you!

00:46:27.083 --> 00:46:29.125
You're a * idiot!
* you, you idiot!

00:46:29.250 --> 00:46:31.625
All of you are idiots!
You * bow down to him!

00:46:31.666 --> 00:46:32.958
Stand up for yourself!

00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:35.333
-I said stop!
-No, you stopand listen to me.

00:46:35.458 --> 00:46:39.166
If you live like this, you'll always have
to * bow down to him, you idiot!

00:46:55.291 --> 00:46:58.791
A well-trained boxer
with a fighting spirit who, unfortunately,

00:46:58.875 --> 00:47:00.583
got drugged before his fight.

00:47:00.666 --> 00:47:03.750
And a boxer who got
in the ring to throw a fight.

00:47:04.250 --> 00:47:06.750
These instances jeopardize the industry.

00:47:08.166 --> 00:47:10.041
It's sending a message
to the outside world

00:47:10.125 --> 00:47:13.458
that people are free to do,
pretty much, all kind of things there.

00:47:14.208 --> 00:47:16.875
I believe that people
who are truly passionate about it

00:47:17.375 --> 00:47:18.875
won't let these things happen.

00:47:18.958 --> 00:47:21.833
Like I said, in the end,
it's all up to their conscience,

00:47:21.916 --> 00:47:25.416
be it boxing camps heads,
trainers, boxers, or referees.

00:47:25.500 --> 00:47:27.291
Let's do our part if you want change.

00:47:27.375 --> 00:47:30.083
But as you see,
if we keep turning a blind eye,

00:47:30.208 --> 00:47:31.916
there won't be an end
to this vicious cycle.

00:47:31.958 --> 00:47:34.083
There will always be a scandal popping up.

00:47:58.333 --> 00:48:01.958
1 NEW MESSAGE 9 MISSED CALLS FROM DAD

00:48:13.125 --> 00:48:15.166
EVERYTHING I DID,
I DID IT FOR YOU AND YOUR MOM.

00:48:15.250 --> 00:48:17.458
PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

00:48:35.458 --> 00:48:36.291
Dad.

00:48:42.416 --> 00:48:43.250
Hey, Den.

00:48:44.625 --> 00:48:46.583
Meet me at the gym afterwards.

00:49:03.708 --> 00:49:04.708
What's up, coach?

00:49:05.875 --> 00:49:08.416
You think you can fool me?
Who bought you off, huh?

00:49:10.458 --> 00:49:11.708
No, coach. Nobody.

00:49:15.625 --> 00:49:17.291
-Hey, what the--
-Come here! Come on!

00:49:17.375 --> 00:49:18.458
Let me go! Let me go!

00:49:18.541 --> 00:49:19.958
-Go!
-Come on!

00:49:20.458 --> 00:49:22.791
-Let's go.
-I told you to let me go!

00:49:23.291 --> 00:49:25.000
Who paid you?

00:49:25.083 --> 00:49:26.708
-Nobody.
-No one?

00:49:26.791 --> 00:49:28.875
-Stay still.
-Let me go! * you!

00:49:28.958 --> 00:49:30.750
-Who paid you?
-You're hurting me! Let me go!

00:49:30.833 --> 00:49:32.000
Who wants you out?

00:49:32.083 --> 00:49:34.083
-I said no one!
-Nobody?

00:49:34.166 --> 00:49:35.916
-Let go of me!
-You think you can fool me?

00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:37.541
Huh?

00:49:37.625 --> 00:49:39.916
What you did was a disgrace, you fool!

00:49:43.666 --> 00:49:44.708
You bastard!
