Burmese boxing is really similar to Thai boxing. Burma and Thailand neighbor each other and from what I understand, Siam (now Thailand) and Burma somewhat rivaled each other. They both practiced "boxing," and every once in a while they would challenge each other.
I don't think they're identical. But they're fairly similar. Either way, the Thai boxing that rivaled Burmese boxing is different from the Muay Thai we know today. This was more of a Muay Thai Boran type of thing.
