The athletes would only retreat for break when the referee so understood, it would be forbidden to bite or attack while the opponent was down, at which point they would have to return to their corner and wait for the referee's decisions. Songs for the fights came to be played by Muen Samak Siangprachit's orchestra in every round. The athletes were obliged to be protected by boxing gloves, alerted by the tragic accident that killed Nai Jia Kakamen in November of 1929 during a fight of boxing, disputed in style kad-chuck. The gloves were introduced in Thailand in the reign of Rama VII king Pok Klaochao Yu Hua, sovereign between 1925 and 1934. They came by the hand of a Filipino boxer who used them to play an international boxing tournament. It was during this time that a wealthy officer, General Dehepasadin had built near the current National Theater in Tachang, the famous boxing stadium Lak Muang. Chao Khun Katatorabodee was an athlete and event planner. In one of the year-end tournaments he organized, he chose the best athletes to join a team that would cheer up on Saturday at Lumpini Park and, when he faced Nai Air Muangdee, he used a metallic protection on his genitals for the first time. These events began to be played in a ring with standard dimensions, three ropes, canvas flooring, a red corner, another blue, two judges and a referee.
