What does TCB mean in BOXING

Thai Championship Boxing (TCB) is a combat sport that combines elements of boxing and kickboxing. It originated in Thailand and has become increasingly popular in recent years due to televised professional bouts.

TCB fighters use both punching and kicking techniques, as well as clinch fighting, throws, sweeps, joint locks, and ground-fighting maneuvers. The goal is to score points by landing clean strikes with punches or kicks to the head or body of an opponent before the round ends.

Yes, fighters wear padded gloves to protect their hands while striking opponents, as well as groin protection for men and chest guards for women. In addition, they may wear mouthguards and shin guards depending on the rules of the promotion they are competing in.

Rounds in TCB matches usually last three minutes each with one minute break periods between rounds. Some promotions may have longer rounds depending on the ruleset being followed.
