I thought the judging was good. You sore 10 to the winner of the round and 9.5, 9, 8.5, and 8 or 7 if there are two knock downs. This is straight from Japan and the fighters know the scoring system. The K1 fighter’s goals are to compete in Japan for the big prize this is where and why the fighters must learn, understand and live with the fact that they are in the K1 game and that is how K1 works.
When a fight is close there are always mixed feelings and there always will be. A judge will score more for a good leg kick where another judge may have missed it because the ring post may have blocked their view.
Jason and Chris was a very very close fight and I thought Jas won round four.
Pixies and Jordan had a good fight and I would have like to have seen an extra round.
But I wasn’t the judge; there were 3 competent judgers with a wealth of experience in the sport, and i trust that they made the right decisions throughout the night.

When I started kick boxing 20 years ago in a back street gym with Simon Scott and Jason Kerr. We had to share a gym with boxers whom did not like kick fighters . The fighters often fought out of their weight class just to get a fight and some of the fights were raw as hell. We use to fight in long pants and had to kick more than 8 times in a round all we would loss that round. Then came the lee gar boys and the standard went up with lollol leading the way.

Under lollol, Ray Sefo made TV interested in the sport and they started showing bits and pieces on TV
Now look where the sport is.
Today a fighter can make a living from fighting and the interest in the sport is still growing
Where will it be in the next 20 years?
