Hmm, when you really get into the specificity of it, boxeador tailandes really only refers to Thai boxers (muay thai). However, we also have american kickboxing which does not employ elbows and knees. You would never call an american kickboxer a thai boxer though..so..hmmmmm. Tough.

Doesn't it seem like this is likely to be a borrowed word, unless you are in a country fairly distant from the US or another English speaking country? - aceydoubleyou, Aug 2, 2010
